Why Asbestos Testing Matters
Asbestos-containing materials can release hazardous fibers when disturbed during remodeling, demolition, repairs, or even aggressive cleaning. If you’re working on an older property, asbestos testing gives you documentation and clarity before work begins.
- Helps prevent unexpected project delays and stop-work issues
- Reduces exposure risk to occupants and contractors
- Provides documentation for real estate and renovation decisions
Common Materials We Test
Asbestos may be present in many older building products. Common suspect materials include:
- Popcorn / acoustic ceilings
- Vinyl floor tile and mastic
- Drywall joint compound and texture
- Plaster and certain patching compounds
- HVAC duct insulation or tape
- Certain siding and roofing materials
If you’re unsure, we can evaluate the material and advise the appropriate sampling approach.
Inspection & Testing Only
Clean Air Detective provides asbestos inspection and bulk sampling with laboratory analysis only. We do not perform asbestos removal or abatement. That keeps the process straightforward and focused on accurate documentation and lab results.
Pricing
- Asbestos Inspection: $250
- Asbestos Bulk Sample (lab analysis): $55 per sample
When to Schedule Asbestos Testing
- Before cutting, drilling, sanding, scraping, or demolition
- During real estate transactions where documentation is needed
- For many properties built before 1980
- When suspect materials are damaged or planned to be disturbed
Even small projects like removing popcorn ceilings or replacing old flooring can disturb suspect materials. Testing gives you a clear answer first.
