Asbestos was a popular building material used in the construction industry until the 1980s when it was discovered that exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health problems. Today, before any renovation or demolition work can take place, asbestos inspection and sampling must be done to ensure the safety of workers and residents. In this blog post, we will discuss what to expect during an asbestos inspection and sampling process. An asbestos inspection starts with a visual survey of the property by a certified inspector who will look for any materials that may contain asbestos. The inspector will then take samples of these materials for laboratory testing. The samples are collected by taking small pieces of the material and placing them in air-tight containers to prevent any fibres from becoming airborne during transportation. According to the Asbestos and the Law in the United States, a baseline survey is performed by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) licenced asbestos ...

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral widely used in the construction industry due to its heat-resistant qualities. However, it is now known to be highly harmful to human health if the fibers become airborne and inhaled. Asbestos exposure can lead to several serious illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and other respiratory diseases. Therefore, testing for asbestos in buildings and materials is crucial to ensure that proper precautions are taken to prevent exposure and minimize the risks. Asbestos fibers are microscopic, so there is no way to know whether a material contains asbestos without proper testing. The only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified laboratory. The inspection should be carried out by a licensed professional or inspector with the proper training and experience to identify and handle asbestos without risking exposure. If you are renovating or demolishing a building constructed before the 198...
