When to Schedule Asbestos Testing

Generally speaking, asbestos testing is only necessary if you notice damaged or crumbling areas that can further expose you to airborne fibers. Moving asbestos building materials can send fibers into the air, making them easier to inhale. If you’ve recently purchased an older home and are planning a renovation that will disturb your insulation, schedule testing right away as your construction plans may put you at an increased risk of exposure.

When Testing Is Unnecessary

Asbestos is typically found in older homes or homes that have vermiculite insulation. If your home was insulated with spray foam, or if you’re moving new construction, you most likely do not need to test for asbestos. If you do have vermiculite insulation in your home, you may not need asbestos testing if it’s confined in a specific area where it won’t be disturbed or easily inhaled.
