Asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and left undisturbed are unlikely to present a health risk. The risks from asbestos occur when it is damaged or disturbed and asbestos fibers become airborne. If inhaled, these fibers can become lodged in the linings of the lungs, abdomen or heart, causing diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Managing asbestos in place is often the best approach, but if you are planning on doing a renovation or demolition, it is important that you hire a qualified asbestos testing professional to test for asbestos before any work is done.

How do I know if I have Asbestos in my Home or Business?

It’s not possible for you to tell whether a material contains asbestos simply by looking at it. If you suspect a material in your home or business might contain asbestos and the material is damaged, or if you are planning on doing a renovation that would disturb the material or demolition, the EPA recommends that you have it sampled by a properly trained and accredited asbestos professional. Trust the pros! We have spent many hours training to become certified so you can trust us with your project. Once we obtain the samples, we send them to a qualified laboratory to perform the asbestos analysis, which we will then communicate with you to come up with a plan.
