"Professional, explained everything he was doing, how this process worked, testing for asbestos. When he got report, before sending it, he called me to tell me the result. Told me what I needed to know to finish this project in my house with appropriate workers."

"Zach from EZ environmental LLC was nothing but phenomenal. I got jammed up with the department of health with a stop work order. I needed someone to respond immediately and reaching out to Zach was the right move. I had an asbestos sample that came back positive, Zach was right on it. He connected immediately with the health department inspector and negotiated the scope of work required. He saved me huge money on the abatement, communicated efficiently and walked me through each steps of the process. His work was neat, and his price was very reasonable. He got me the clearance as he said he will. Zach made a process that could’ve been very stressful so easy. Ez environment was just great for the job and will be using them for my future project."

"Competitive pricing; high quality work; timely service, friendly service, and outstanding warranty all describe this work done by Professional Inspection Service. They came back multiple times until all aspects of the radon mitigation were done to my satisfaction. Recent radon readings average below 1.0, well below the recommended 2 pCi/L. I could not be happier with the work they did."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Auburn, NY

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
