ASBESTOS INSPECTION
ASBESTOS INSPECTION
Many building components may contain asbestos, such as insulation, floor tiles, mastic roofing, and sidings. They will often look the same, whether they do or do not contain asbestos. The only way to be certain that they are free of harmful asbestos is to collect bulk samples of the material and have them analyzed by an accredited laboratory.
Our licensed asbestos inspectors carefully collect samples from a material in a carefully controlled fashion to minimize fiber release.

What is Asbestos Inspection ?
HISTORY OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos is a group of six natural mineral fibers that are flame retardant and is a great insulator. Since asbestos is a strong and cheap building material, it was widely used until the 70’s when the health risks associated with asbestos became public knowledge. Due to the large asbestos related litigations that followed, asbestos are no longer used in the construction industry in the United States.

Health Risks Involved
Most people who are exposed to asbestos aren’t affected right away. Asbestos has a 20-50 year latency period, which means a person exposed to asbestos won’t show symptoms until years later. In extreme cases where there’s higher level exposure (like a demolition or a building collapsing), symptoms may show much earlier. Asbestos is most commonly linked with mesothelioma and other types of lung disease.
