An asbestos inspection is a professional check of a building to find out if any materials contain asbestos.
A certified inspector visits the property, collects small samples from areas like insulation, floor tiles, or ceilings, and sends them to a lab for testing.
The goal is to find out:
- Where asbestos is present
- What condition is it in
- What action needs to be taken — whether to monitor, seal, or remove it
It’s especially important in older buildings (built before the 1980s), before any renovation or demolition work, since disturbed asbestos fibers can cause serious lung diseases.
In short, it’s a safety check to protect the people living or working in a building.
