Asbestos Testing

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber and may still be found in materials currently being manufactured. Because of its fiber strength and heat resistance, asbestos has been used in a variety of building and construction materials for insulation and a fire retardant purposes, most commonly into the 1970s. Because of this, asbestos can still be found in many buildings today.  Regardless of the building's age, any property may contain asbestos. During an asbestos inspection, asbestos is primarily found by asbestos testing in building and construction materials. If you need an asbestos assessment, reach out to us.  As an Arkansas asbestos consultant, we can help.

During an asbestos assessment, asbestos is primarily found in building and construction materials during an asbestos testing. During building remodeling, renovations, or demolitions, exposure to asbestos may occur when building 

components are disturbed, causing the asbestos fibers to become airborne. If you have questions about the potential presence of asbestos, we can help with an asbestos inspection! 

Once asbestos becomes friable or degraded, the fibers pose a serious health hazard when inhaled by individuals. During renovation, remodeling, or demolition, exposure to asbestos may occur when building components are disturbed, causing the asbestos fibers to become airborne. If an asbestos assessment or asbestos inspection is required, asbestos testing should be done by a certified asbestos inspector. Per the United States Enviromental Protection Agency (US EPA), asbestos exposure may cause the following health effects: 

• Mesothelioma
• Asbestosis
• Lung Cancer

As an Arkansas asbestos consultant, during our asbestos inspection we will perform a walk through, visually identify any suspect materials of concern, document the condition of the suspect material, and take samples for asbestos testing as part of the asbestos assessment. After receiving the test results, we will submit our findings and any recommendations in a formal report.

Regardless of building age, any property may contain asbestos in many forms. If you are planning a renovation or remodel, or have questions about the potential presence of asbestos in your home or business, as a Arkansas asbestos consultant, we can help with an asbestos assessment and asbestos testing. Schedule an asbestos inspection today.
