Asbestos Testing

Hindsight Home Inspection LLC offers Asbestos Testing for those unique properties. You’ll receive Certified Lab Results and testing starts at just $108. While 1978 was the threshold for asbestos usage, it did carry over for several years. If you have questions on Asbestos testing for your property, please get in touch and we consult on your particular situation.

As indicated by the EPA, asbestos may be found in the following places:

• Attic and wall insulation with vermiculite, a mineral composed of shiny flakes
• Hot water and steam pipes coated with asbestos or insulated with an asbestos blanket
• Vinyl flooring tiles, the backing on vinyl sheet flooring, and adhesives used to install floor tile
• Roofing and siding shingles made of asbestos cement
• Walls and floors around wood-burning stoves protected by asbestos paper or cement sheets
• Door gaskets on oil and coal furnaces
• Textured ceilings and wall paints

Asbestos testing isn’t always necessary, and there are certain scenarios where it is best to leave undisturbed. We will professional advise on evaluating suspected asbestos content, especially in a damaged or deteriorating feature, or areas where you may be planning to renovate or replace. Your goal should be to identify conditions where asbestos could pose a serious health risk.

We will provide professional testing, proper post-test procedure, and Certified Lab results.
