"I need an asbestos test." is a common phrase we hear. As Colorado State Certified Asbestos Building Inspectors, we perform an asbestos inspection and take samples of suspect materials. We then submit the samples to an indepdendent laboratory where they are analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy for asbestos.  State and Federal regulations require that a Certified Asbestos Inspector physically take the samples of the suspect material and deliver the samples to a 3rd party accredited laboratory.  

Suspect asbestos containing materials are any building materials NOT wood, glass or metal.  There are state requirements for the number of samples required to test for each material type. 

Suspect Materials:

The photos above are examples of some building materials that were sampled and submitted to the laboratory for asbestos testing. 

Our 3rd party accredited laboratories offer same day, 24 hour, 2-day and 5-day turnaround on sample analysis.

Sampling Requirements:

The State of Colorado has strict guidelines for the collection of suspect asbestos containing building materials by a Colorado State Certified Building Inspector.  Depending on the catagory of material; Surfacing Materials, Thermal Systems Insulation or Miscellaneous Materials, we are required to take between 2 and 9 samples. 

We will do our best to estimate the quantity of samples required to complete your inspection and only bill you for the actual number of samples collected and submitted for asbestos testing.
