asbestos Testing

Asbestos fibers are soft and flexible yet resistant to heat, electricity and corrosion. Asbestos was used in buildings before 1990 because it was fire resistant and inexpensive. The average Canadian didn’t know that it could be harmful when airborne, because the fibers are so small they are not visible and can lead to asbestosis or mesothelioma, and other diseases.
 
If you are renovating a home or commercial building, it is vital to test for asbestos before you disturb any material. Getting an Work Safe BC Level S Surveyor Safety Inspector will ensure safety in your home or on your jobsite.
Asbestos is found in drywall, compound, texture, insulation, vermiculite, electrical components, flooring, glues, siding, ducting tape, pipes, it could be added to many materials,  even under the kitchen sink.
 
Darick tests asbestos on site and will provide recommendations of which materials may be containing, sampling and testing of any suspicious material, and provision of results which will give you peace of mind as you continue with your renovation.​
