Asbestos Testing

Hearing that you may have asbestos in your home or commercial property can be a scary thought and should be taken seriously.

This is especially common for people who are selling or refinancing their homes where an inspector has cited that the presence of asbestos is suspected. Typically it is found in the basement pipe wrapping, drop ceiling tiles, or asbestos floor tiles.

Don’t let an errant home inspector site you for suspect asbestos in your home.  More than half of the asbestos tests we conduct here at Certified Mold Removal Inc. come back negative.

As a result, testing is imperative so that you do not end up spending crazy amounts of money on asbestos remediation services that are completely unnecessary! 

Our professional Asbestos Inspectors have worked with thousands of property owners over the years to identify (or rule out) the presence of asbestos-containing materials.

Inspections are in compliance with AHERA for renovation, pre-demolition, and school requirements for real estate transactions, local building permits, and homeowner/building owner concerns.

Our inspectors are highly trained and qualified to assess the material conditions of your property for the presence of asbestos and provide recommendations, if needed, for asbestos remediation.
If asbestos is found in your home or property, the course of action will vary. In some cases it can be left undisturbed. However if it is found loose (friable), it will need to be removed.

Contact our professional team of asbestos inspectors to determine if asbestos is present on your property and what steps you might take to deal with it. 

• You can be exposed to asbestos in homes and occupational settings across the United States.
• Mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the abdomen or lungs, is primarily caused by asbestos exposure.
• Asbestos also causes other types of cancer, including laryngeal, ovarian, and lung cancer. It can also cause asbestosis, which is a scarring of the lungs.
• Asbestos was used in thousands of products until the 1980s.
• Americans today are typically exposed to asbestos through demolition or renovation work on an older property containing asbestos products.

Whether you have recently had an inspection citing possible asbestos or you live in a home built before the 1980s and are concerned about possible asbestos exposure for a renovation or demolition, it’s time to enlist the help of a trained asbestos professional to determine any asbestos sources.

Here at Certified Mold Removal Inc., we understand that it can be disturbing when you think you may have been exposed to asbestos in your home or workplace, which is why we provide same day emergency testing services.

Once you reach out to us, we will quickly come out to your home or business to do a thorough asbestos assessment for you. Here is what you can expect from our process:

1.   Information Gathering

Once you contact us, we will talk with you and ask a number of questions relating to your property. This will give us a good sense of where asbestos might be a concern.

2.  On-Site Investigation

Next, we will schedule a time that is convenient for you to come out and perform an asbestos inspection. When our asbestos inspector arrives, he will introduce himself and will request to be taken to the “problem” areas indicated by a building inspector or areas that you are concerned about. Not sure where to start? No problem. Our professionals know where to look for possible asbestos in a home.

3.  Samples Taken

Once in the home or other property, we will collect material and air samples to determine if there is asbestos present. This allows us to recommend the proper protocol for asbestos remediation. The process typically takes about an hour, but it could be longer depending on the size and scope of the area we are inspecting.

4.  Analysis Completed

We send your samples to a third-party laboratory to ensure unbiased, accurate results. Results can be expected in just a few days, or we can have it expedited for results within 24 hours!

Once we receive the results, we will evaluate them, along with pictures and notes taken during your asbestos inspection, and create a report and remediation recommendation (if necessary).

5.  Follow Up

Once we have obtained the results and prepared the report, our team will reach out to you to discuss the findings so you know if your family is at risk or if professional asbestos remediation is needed.

If you have already had asbestos remediation done and want to test to be sure that there is no more asbestos present, we can provide clearance testing to ensure that your living space is a safe environment.

We make the process of asbestos testing quick and easy! Call Certified Mold Removal Inc. to request professional asbestos inspection service today!
