Asbestos testing and inspection in Geelong
Testing tells you whether a material actually contains asbestos, so you don't pay for removal you don't need — or disturb something you shouldn't.
Options
- Sample testing: a small sample is taken safely and sent to a NATA-accredited laboratory.
- Asbestos inspection/report: a walk-through of the property listing likely asbestos materials, their condition and recommendations — useful before renovating, buying or selling.
- Pre-demolition survey: a more thorough inspection, often needed before a demolition permit.
Avoid taking samples yourself by breaking or cutting material — that can release fibres. Use a trained person.
