Comprehensive and Speedy Asbestos Testing in CT
KEEPING YOUR HOME SAFE AND YOUR PROPERTIES COMPLIANT
Are you unsure if your Connecticut property contains asbestos? Many homes and buildings in Connecticut were built during a time where asbestos was widely used and its dangers were unknown. There are over 3,000 known products that may contain asbestos, the vast majority of them being building materials. Whether you're planning renovations, concerned about potential hazards, or involved in a property transaction, our asbestos testing services provide you with the knowledge and confidence needed to make informed decisions.
When asbestos containing materials are disturbed, they release microscopic asbestos fibers into the air. When the microscopic fibers are inhaled (enters through lungs) or ingested (by way of digestive system), they become embedded in the tissues of the lungs and stomach lining. Exposure to asbestos can cause various disabling or fatal diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer and gastrointestinal cancer just to name a few.

Where is Asbestos Found in Homes?
Asbestos can be found in various locations within homes, especially in structures built before the 1980s when the use of asbestos-containing materials was more common. Some common areas where asbestos may be found include:
Asbestos is most hazardous when the materials are damaged, deteriorating, or disturbed, releasing asbestos fibers into the air, where they can be inhaled or ingested. If you suspect asbestos may be present in your home, especially if you plan renovations or encounter damaged materials, it's crucial to have it professionally tested and, if necessary, safely removed by certified asbestos abatement experts to minimize health risks.
How Do I Know if A Material in My Property Contains Asbestos?
According to the
Connecticut Department of Public Health, you can’t tell if a product is an asbestos containing material just by looking at it! Asbestos can only be verified by laboratory analysis.
What to Do if You Suspect Asbestos in Your Property
1. Do Not Disturb or Damage Suspected Materials:
Avoid any activities that could disturb or damage materials you suspect might contain asbestos. Remember, asbestos is most dangerous when its disturbed causing its microscopic fibers to float through the air. Refrain from drilling, cutting, sanding, or demolishing these materials.
2. Isolate the Area
If possible, isolate the area where you suspect asbestos-containing materials are present. Restrict access to this area to prevent unintentional exposure.
3. Do Not Attempt DIY Testing
While there are DIY asbestos testing kits available, it's recommended to leave asbestos testing to trained professionals. Improper handling of asbestos-containing materials during testing can lead to fiber release.
4. Contact a Professional
It's highly advisable to contact a licensed asbestos professional for a proper assessment. Certified asbestos inspectors can conduct tests to determine if asbestos is present and assess its condition.
Remember that asbestos is most hazardous when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled or ingested. Taking appropriate precautions and involving professionals in the assessment and, if needed, the removal process is essential for minimizing health risks associated with asbestos exposure.
