You can’t identify items that may contain asbestos simply by looking at them. The only way to confirm the presence of asbestos is to take more than one sample of the material and have it tested by an accredited asbestos laboratory. If you suspect asbestos, the safest approach is to avoid complications and hire a qualified technician. Our professional staff can be dispatched to your building and are Certified AHERA Building Inspectors and can also conduct a comprehensive Hazardous Materials Assessment if required.
