Frequently Asked Questions

Well, you can’t always tell it’s asbestos just by looking. It can be mixed into other materials and look totally harmless. That’s why testing is so important. It’s the only way to know for sure.
Yes, professional asbestos testing is perfectly safe. Our team follows strict procedures to collect samples without disturbing the material or exposing occupants to asbestos fibers.
You can, but it’s risky. DIY kits still require you to disturb the material to take a sample, which can release fibers and make them airborne. It’s safer to have a pro handle it with the right gear.
Not always. If asbestos containing materials are in good condition and undisturbed, they may be safely left in place with monitoring.
Very. Even a small disturbance can release dangerous fibers into the air. Without the right training, gear, and containment procedures, it’s not worth the risk. That’s what we’re here for, to do it safely and properly.
Yes, homes built before 1980 are at higher risk of containing asbestos materials. Best to have your home or business tested if you are unsure.
Common materials include old insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, pipe wrap, roofing materials, and even certain textured paints or popcorn ceilings. It’s always a good idea to have it checked out if you think you might have an issue.
No, asbestos doesn’t smell or look like anything obvious. That’s part of what makes it so tricky. You could be living around it and not even know.
