A practical plan for your property

Materials that may contain asbestos

Older homes and buildings can contain asbestos in drywall compound, plaster, vinyl floor tile, pipe insulation, boiler wrap, ceiling texture, cement board, and other products. Appearance alone cannot confirm asbestos.

Testing before renovation or demolition

Sampling before cutting, sanding, drilling, or removal helps protect occupants and workers. We create a practical sampling plan based on the building age, renovation scope, and distinct material types.

Clear, actionable results

Your report identifies the sampled material, location, analytical result, and recommended next step. Positive results do not always mean immediate removal; condition and planned disturbance matter.

How quickly are asbestos results available?+

Turnaround depends on the laboratory and urgency. Standard and expedited options are typically available.

Can I collect my own asbestos sample?+

Disturbing suspect material can release fibres. Professional sampling reduces disturbance and provides better documentation of where each sample came from.
