Asbestos Testing

Trusted
and
Certified


Rock Environmental provides lead, mold and asbestos to homeowners and businesses. We provide commercial property owners, property managers, facilities and maintenance managers, government agencies, abatement contractors, and homeowners with the region’s most comprehensive asbestos testing.

Our asbestos testing will confirm whether or not this dangerous substance is present within a home or building’s structure. Asbestos is generally hidden behind drywall - and a visual inspection is not effective.

During asbestos testing, a team of specially trained experts will extract samples from suspected materials for testing. To ensure accurate results, our asbestos testing team collects numerous types of samples. There are various methods used to detect the presence of asbestos depending on the type of material.

Our asbestos testing service guarantees accurate, quick results and follows strict protocols for sample collection and analysis. Even the smallest trace amounts of asbestos could be dangerous.

At Rock Environmental, we offer the best service possible to all our customers. Whether you need mold, asbestos or lead testing for your home or business, you can trust the professionals at Rock Environmental.

Asbestos removal and disposal require special training, equipment, and disposal methods. This process is called abatement and only reputable companies with the proper equipment, licenses, and technical expertise are permitted to remove asbestos in the state of New York.

In accordance with State and Federal Law asbestos is listed as a carcinogen and must be handled as a hazardous material aligning with New York asbestos regulations. Sometimes this is determined necessary based on the age of a structure and the materials which would have been used at the time. Also, materials containing asbestos are often readily identified, especially by seasoned contractors who are used to seeing such materials in the field.

The process to test asbestos is as follows:

Testing

  • A reputable and licenses company such as Rock Environmental must be hired to perform testing
  • Air samples and surface samples are obtained and tested in a laboratory to test for the presence of asbestos
  • Surfaces can vary, from floor and ceiling tiles to wallboard, concrete and composite pipes
  • If asbestos is found, abatement must take place

Abatement

  • Only registered and licensed asbestos abatement companies are permitted to perform abatement
  • Workers must wear protective gear and have respirators
  • An area to change clothing/equipment must be established to prevent containment to the outside area
  • Areas must be cordoned off with signs posted as to the danger of asbestos
  • Abatement areas must be properly ventilated with maintained negative pressure on protective plastic tenting containing the area
  • Waste materials must be double-bagged and tied in marked color-coded plastic bags
  • Waste materials must be taken to an approved waste materials site for disposal
  • Contaminated clothing must be treated as hazardous materials and disposed of properly
  • Non-friable materials must be properly contained and indicated if removal is not necessary or possible

Retesting

  • After abatement a process of testing is also required.
  • Inspection passes if area is determined to be successfully abated and free of friable particulates.

By New York law, contractors are prohibited from providing asbestos testing or abatement. Also, anyone with a proprietary interest in the site is also prohibited. This is why you need a reputable, licensed company to perform these services. These New York asbestos laws have been put into place to protect you and ensure the environment is kept safe from toxic contaminants.
