Asbestos testing vs. asbestos removal: what is the difference?

Testing answers a question

Asbestos testing tells you whether a material contains asbestos. Samples are collected carefully and analyzed by an independent laboratory. The result informs whether abatement is needed at all, and if so, how much material is involved.

Testing is worth considering before renovating, remodeling or demolishing in an older property, before buying or selling, or when suspect material is damaged.

Removal solves the problem

Asbestos removal, part of abatement, is the regulated process of containing the work area, removing the material with controlled methods and disposing of it properly. It is planned around the test results.

Why we keep them separate

SaniClean Pros uses an independent third-party laboratory for testing, so the analysis is objective and separate from the company doing the removal. We handle Washington abatement and oversee North Carolina fieldwork performed by local licensed subcontractors as primary contractor. Applicable credentials should be reviewed before work starts.
