Asbestos Testing in the Metro East
Asbestos testing collects small samples of suspect building materials and has an accredited laboratory determine whether asbestos fibres are present. It matters most before renovation or demolition of any building constructed before about 1980, when most asbestos-containing building materials were phased out of common use. The EPA sets no fixed cut-off year, so older buildings should be assumed to contain it until sampling says otherwise.
Sampling and lab identification before you renovate an older Metro East home.
What's included
