Asbestos used to be a commonly used construction material for all sorts of purposes, including insulating, fireproofing, sound proofing, and more. However, it was later discovered that asbestos can easily release harmful fibers that can become lodged in your lungs when inhaled. Contractors have since stopped using this material, but it can still be found in different building materials in older homes, posing potential health hazards for the occupants.
Although there are DIY asbestos testing kits you can get from stores, its always better to leave the testing to the professionals, like us at Double D Construction Services, Inc. Here are a few reasons why:
- Safety first. The most important reason why you should leave the asbestos testing to us is because of the health risks associated with disturbing the asbestos. We have the necessary safety gear and take the necessary precautions to keep you, your household, and ourselves safe from inhaling the harmful fibers.
- More accurate results. The take-home asbestos testing kits can be convenient, but they don’t always deliver the most accurate results. We have been properly trained to know how to properly approach the asbestos materials, obtain samples, and deliver accurate results. We can also offer any explanations you need to fully understand your situation.
- Asbestos removal included. If we find positive results of asbestos during our asbestos testing, we can offer our removal services as well. We can safely and effectively remove the asbestos to keep your household and home safe.
