Certified asbestos testing and material identification for NYC properties. Protect your health before renovation or demolition work.

Critical Health Warning

Asbestos exposure is a serious health hazard. Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis—diseases that may take 10-40 years to develop. There is NO safe level of asbestos exposure.

NYC law requires asbestos testing before any renovation or demolition in buildings constructed before 1989. Don't risk your health or legal penalties—get tested first.

Expert Analysis

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was widely used in building materials from the 1940s to 1980s due to its fire-resistant and insulating properties. Common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) include:

  • Ceiling tiles and acoustical plaster
  • Floor tiles (vinyl asbestos tiles)
  • Pipe and boiler insulation
  • Roofing and siding shingles
  • Joint compound and plaster
  • HVAC duct insulation

Asbestos is only dangerous when disturbed. Intact materials pose minimal risk, but cutting, drilling, or demolishing releases deadly fibers into the air.
