Why Asbestos Testing is Essential for Your Property

Asbestos was widely used in building materials until it was banned in 1999, meaning properties built before 2000 may still contain this harmful material. Professional asbestos testing helps identify and mitigate the risks to protect your family, employees, or tenants.

The Risks of Undetected Asbestos:

Health Hazards: Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious diseases, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Hidden Danger: Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are often hidden in insulation, ceilings, or pipes, making detection difficult without professional expertise.
Costly Delays: Discovering asbestos during renovations can halt work and increase expenses. Testing before you start avoids unnecessary surprises.

What happens if asbestos is found?

If asbestos is discovered, we’ll provide a detailed report with recommendations for safe removal or management by licensed professionals.
