Trust EnvioCore with your Asbestos Testing Inspections

It’s best to test for asbestos BEFORE you begin your project! During any construction or renovation project, it’s likely that you’ll be disturbing building materials, which can cause microscopic asbestos fibers to be released into the air.

Breathing in these fibers is extremely dangerous. This is why asbestos is a federally regulated hazardous material, and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) requires testing before you begin any disturbance.

Asbestos Testing FAQs

What does asbestos look like?

Asbestos itself is a fibrous mineral, which can vary in color from white to blue to brown. In raw form, it has a fluffy, cotton-like consistency. However, asbestos was commonly mixed into building materials, making it difficult to identify without microscopic analysis.

What does asbestos insulation look like?

Asbestos insulation can look different depending on the type. One common form is loose-fill asbestos insulation, which resembles small, fluffy white or gray pellets or loose fibers. Another form is asbestos blanket insulation which looks like a cotton candy-like material, often found in older homes.

How to test for asbestos?

The safest way to test for asbestos is to hire a professional service like EnvioCore. Our trained experts take a sample of the material in question and analyze it in a lab to determine if asbestos is present and in what quantity.

How to stop worrying about asbestos?

Education and professional assessment are key to alleviating concerns about asbestos. If you suspect materials in your home or workplace contain asbestos, contact a professional like EnvioCore for testing and consultation on proper management or removal.

What does asbestos tile look like?

Asbestos tiles are typically 9-inch, 12-inch, or 18-inch squares and can be found in a variety of colors and patterns. They were popular for their durability, so older tiles that remain in good condition after decades might contain asbestos.

How to identify asbestos?

Identifying asbestos usually requires professional testing as it can’t be confirmed by sight alone. However, knowing the age of the building materials (if they predate the 1980s) and looking for signs of fibrous, crumbly, or fluffy textures can be indicators.

What does asbestos siding look like?

Asbestos siding was commonly used as shingles for homes and can look like cement or plaster. They are typically flat, rectangular, and may have a wavy texture or wood grain pattern.

How to remove asbestos?

Asbestos removal should always be performed by certified professionals like those at EnvioCore. We follow strict regulations and procedures to ensure that asbestos is removed safely, minimizing any risk of exposure to airborne fibers.

How long does asbestos stay in the air?

If asbestos fibers are disturbed and become airborne, they can stay suspended for hours or even days. It’s important to avoid any disturbance of suspected asbestos-containing materials and to have the air quality tested by professionals like EnvioCore if you suspect contamination.

What does asbestos smell like?

Asbestos is odorless. The presence of asbestos cannot be detected by smell, which is why professional testing is necessary to identify it.
