Asbestos Testing

Get a Pro to help.

According to the US EPA you can't tell if a material contains asbestos by looking at it unless it is properly labelled. When in doubt, it is best to have the material analyzed by a professional. Taking samples by yourself is not recommended. It can be more hazardous to take a sample by yourself than it is to leave the material in place.

A professional service will know what to look for and how to properly take a sample. Talk to the businesses below if you suspect that you have asbestos in your household.
