"They came out and tested for asbestos. I paid what they asked, did not ask for estimate because just wanted someone to do sample testing. They came out within a week, and got back to me in about 24 hours. Report emailed to me day after that."

"I am an out of state seller of a property in Colorado Springs that during a routine radon testing tested slightly high. I was referred to Axium by my realtor who highly recommended them. I contacted them and made all the arangements by phone / on-line. It was very easy. They provided a very competitive bid, were able to do the work in very short order, no surprises. Converted a passive radon system to an active radon mitigation system."

"John did a very good job. We called on a Friday evening and he came over and tested what we thought was a potentially asbestos containing adhesive in our house on Saturday first thing in the morning. We were relived when we got the results back the same day that it did not contain asbestos. Appreciate his knowledgeable answers to our questions and concerns."

"I connected with Jason via HomeAdvisor, and he gave me a rough quote based on our conversation. He explained his methodology, rationale behind what he would do and the associated cost, and was very professional. Jason followed up with me a few days later, which is when I scheduled an appointment with him and hired him. He sent a reminder email the day prior, and showed up right on time. He spent time discussing our options, what he would be doing, and gave us an estimate of when the results would be back. I definitely recommend them for asbestos testing."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Buffalo-creek, CO

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.
