Asbestos Testing
Asbestos is a toxic, yet very prevalent material. There were hundreds of products created during the 20th century that contained asbestos as it was deemed to be a high-quality insulator and fire mitigator. Now we know the adverse side effects of the material. Scott Home Inspection now offers comprehensive asbestos lab testing to determine if a building material contains asbestos before you buy or remodel a home.
Buying a home and planning a remodel?
Or flipping a house and planning on tearing out that old popcorn ceiling? Many houses built before the mid ’80s have one or more materials that contain asbestos. Leaving these materials in place is not detrimental to your health.
However, if you are planning on removing the substances, inhaling asbestos particles can result in long-term health side effects such as mesothelioma.
Because of this, it is very important, and is required, to test suspect materials before removal, and is why we established our asbestos testing service for the Colorado Front Range area, including Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs.
State of Colorado-Certified Asbestos Building Inspector
Our asbestos technicians are certified by the state of Colorado to handle and sample asbestos material. An extensive training process and certification test is required to gain this certification.
We also use a professional testing lab that is licensed by the U.S. Department of Commerce for Asbestos Fiber Analysis. Learn more about Inspector Lab here.
