Asbestos testing is a critical step in protecting the health of those inside your home or business, and complying with safety regulations. Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can lead to serious long-term health conditions, including lung disease and cancer.
Many homes and buildings across New England, especially those built before the 1980s, still contain hidden asbestos materials. Whether you’re planning renovations, buying a property, or managing a commercial facility, early detection through professional testing helps you avoid costly contamination, legal liabilities, and serious health risks.
Our 3-step process ensures accurate asbestos testing and safe handling from start to finish, giving you peace of mind every step of the way.
Our certified technicians begin with a comprehensive on-site inspection, using advanced detection tools to identify potential asbestos-containing materials. We assess high-risk areas based on construction age, material type, and visual clues, all while minimizing disruption to your property.
If concerning materials are found, we safely collect samples for laboratory analysis following strict safety protocols. Our team wears protective gear and seals off sampling areas to prevent any contamination.
If asbestos is detected, we offer expert asbestos removal services. Our licensed professionals follow EPA and OSHA guidelines to safely remove or encapsulate asbestos materials, ensuring the area is fully cleared and safe for you and your family or customers.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once widely used in building materials for its heat resistance and durability. It’s highly toxic and can lead to serious health issues.
Asbestos is commonly found in insulation, popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, pipe wrappings, roofing materials, and wallboard in buildings constructed before the 1980s. It can also be present in older commercial structures.
Asbestos is often disturbed during repair and maintenance work, product use, remodeling, and other similar activities. Once this happens, its fibers and particles are released into the air, which can easily be inhaled by those inside, leading to asbestos exposure and serious health risks.
Asbestos is typically not visible and doesn’t have a smell. The best indicators are the age and type of materials in your home or building, such as old insulation, ceiling tiles, or floor tiles. Professional testing is the only way to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Prolonged exposure to asbestos can cause serious health problems, including asbestosis, lung disease, and mesothelioma. The risks increase with the duration and intensity of exposure.
If asbestos is found, it’s not recommended to remove it yourself. Call a certified asbestos professional like AirCare. We’ll assess the situation and recommend whether the material should be removed or safely encapsulated.
