The name ‘asbestos’ refers to a group of materials that were used in building construction in Australia from approximately 1940 – 1990. Australia was one of the highest users of asbestos materials per capita in the world. A national ban on asbestos and asbestos products came into effect in 2003 due to the health risks associated with exposure. Among these risks include mesothelioma and lung cancer.
If you are concerned that your property may be contaminated by asbestos materials, it is very important that you do not move or disturb the material as doing so could result in you or others breathing in the microscopic fibres. You should then contact Inspect Wollongong immediately to assess your property for the presence of asbestos and make sure that your property is safe.
An asbestos inspection will identify exactly where asbestos has been used in your property. Our inspection services include:
The Asbestos Inspection option is provided for those who want the certainty of testing analysis done by an Environmental Laboratory. Due to the danger of handling asbestos, we will only take samples from high-risk areas that require further investigation for peace of mind when this option is chosen. If you’re not sure if you need this option, then you’re welcome to contact us.
Permission is required from the current owner of the house. If you are not the owner, then you will need to obtain written approval from the owner allowing us to inspect for asbestos and take samples. Samples will be taken from non-obvious areas such as behind light switches.
Based on the type of house, the builder, the year of construction and the location, our inspector will investigate, identify, and collect samples of material that possesses a high risk of containing asbestos.
The most common locations of asbestos within your home are generally:
Using appropriate safety precautions, our professional inspector carefully collects samples of suspect material, then individually seals and labels each sample.
The samples are then sent to an Environmental Laboratory for testing and the results are received within 3-5 days.
You will receive a thorough report detailing the sample location/s, sample descriptions, dimensions, and the analysis result. If a full Residential Asbestos Audit is required then we can arrange this for you with a qualified Environmental Specialist.
The health risks associated with using and working with asbestos are well-known these days. So, if you suspect the use of asbestos within your home, DO NOT DISTURB (or even touch) it. Contact Inspect Wollongong.
