Three common test types
Start here, then open a guide for process, costs, and why accreditation matters.
Bulk material sampling
Bulk sampling tests building materials — insulation, floor tile, ceiling texture, siding, and more — in a lab to see if they contain asbestos before you renovate or demolish.
Read guide →Asbestos air testing
Air testing measures fibers in the air during or after disturbance or abatement. Method choice (PCM or TEM) depends on the project and applicable rules.
Read guide →Clearance testing
Clearance testing checks whether an abatement area is ready for re-occupancy. It is a professional process — not a home test kit.

Disturbing suspect materials without knowing what’s in them can put households and job sites at risk. Use a licensed or accredited professional and an accredited lab.
Who needs asbestos testing?
Rules differ by building type and state — but the goal is the same: know what’s there before you disturb it.
Homeowners
Older homes may contain asbestos in insulation, flooring, ceilings, siding, and more. Testing before renovation or demolition helps you plan safely and follow state notification rules where they apply.
Companies & institutions
Property managers, contractors, schools, and businesses often need licensed inspectors, project monitors, notifications, and clearance testing. Check your state agency links before work starts.
