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 a home.
Buying a home and concerned about Asbestos?
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 to understand if suspect materials are present, and is why we established our asbestos testing service for the Colorado Front Range area, including Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs.
The asbestos testing we offer is for home buyers to identify if asbestos is present by performing testing on items visually identified as possible asbestos-containing material during our home inspection, or on materials identified by the buyer as suspected asbestos-containing material. Our testing is intended to identify the presence of asbestos, allowing a home buyer to develop a full action plan with an abatement contractor.
