If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of thinking you have asbestos in your home or business, you will need to have an asbestos test done. This test will determine for sure what your next step should be and will clarify if asbestos is indeed an issue.

 

There is no question that you need to have an asbestos test done if you are doing remodeling or demolition. Particular as an owner, it is your responsibilty to ensure the safety of others. Owners also have a legal obligation to remove any asbestos that poses a threat. 

 

What would suggest that asbestos is present?

 

If you live in or own a building that was built before 1999, there is a strong possibility that some part of your structure may contain asbestos. Asbestos was a primary building material before it was discovered to be extremley toxic to those who breathe in the fibres. The fibres are released when asbestos is disturbed.

 

What is the first thing I should do?

 

The first thing you should do is consult with a professional asbestos removal company. They will come to your site and take a sampling of any material that seems to contain asbestos. It would not be uncommon for the experts to find asbestos in the roofing materials, concrete, tile flooring and ceilings, among other things. The asbestos test material will then be secureley packaged inside durable polythene plastic.

 

What happens next?

 

The asbestos professionals will transport the asbestos in a registered vehicle to an labortory testing site. The experts at the asbestos testing facility will test all the materials using all appropriate safety precautions.

 

You will be notified and will be given an asbestos test survey results report. The report will provide you with any further recommendations.

 

What do they test for?

 

The asbestos types they most likely are checking for are white, brown and blue; or chrysotile, amosite and crocidolite, which is a form of amphibole. They check for forms of these materials and fibres that are likely to cause health and safety issues.

 

You can expect there to be a cost associated with each service performed. It is worth the cost for your structure to be billed as clean and safe for yourself and others. Be sure to call the professionals at FibrecleanUK.com when you need an asbestos test.
