Why Is Asbestos Testing Important?
Asbestos has been widely used in building materials for decades. Unfortunately, this naturally occurring material has been known to cause health issues like mesothelioma and lung cancer. There is no safe level of asbestos exposure, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This makes asbestos testing an important first step toward protecting the people who live, work, or spend time on your property.
When Do You Need an Asbestos Test?
You can benefit from asbestos testing in several situations, such as:
- Before renovations or demolition, particularly for buildings built before 1980
- If you suspect your building has asbestos-containing materials
- Prior to purchasing or renting a property built before 1980
- After a flood or fire in a building built before 1980
- Routine testing in buildings like schools and hospitals
You may see a theme in the above. Structures built before 1980 often have asbestos-containing materials. This is because, up until that decade, these dangerous materials were still commonplace in construction. Are you unsure whether you need an asbestos test? Feel free to contact us.

Common Asbestos-Containing Materials
Manufacturers used to include asbestos in building materials because of its strength and heat resistance. As a result, asbestos can be in various places throughout a building.
Some of the most common locations include:
- Insulation, especially in attics and walls and around pipes/ductwork
- Roofing materials
- Vinyl and linoleum flooring
- Popcorn ceiling tiles
- Cement and plaster products like wallboard and stucco
It is important to note that the US banned many asbestos-containing products in 1989. If your property has newer insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and other materials, you likely do not have to worry about these things containing asbestos.
