Asbestos Inspection FAQs
Do I need asbestos testing before renovation or demolition?
Yes. If asbestos-containing materials may be disturbed during renovation or demolition, testing is often necessary to determine whether asbestos is present before work begins.
What materials in a home may contain asbestos?
Common materials can include pipe insulation, floor tiles, mastics, ceiling materials, siding, wall plaster, duct insulation, and other older building products. Testing is the only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.
How much does asbestos testing cost?
Asbestos inspections start at $350 for renovation surveys and $500 for demolition surveys. Lab fees vary depending on the type and number of samples collected.
How long does it take to get asbestos test results?
Most asbestos lab results are returned within 24 to 48 hours after the lab receives the samples.
Can you tell if a material contains asbestos just by looking at it?
No. Some suspect materials may look similar to non-asbestos materials. Laboratory analysis is needed to confirm whether asbestos is present.
What happens if asbestos is found?
If asbestos is confirmed, the next step depends on the condition of the material and whether it will be disturbed. In many cases, the material may need to be professionally managed, repaired, enclosed, or removed by a qualified asbestos contractor.
Do you collect the samples yourself?
Yes. Suspect materials are sampled using proper procedures and then sent to a qualified laboratory for analysis.
