  1. Are you safe from asbestos?

  2. In order to determine if asbestos is present in a given location, the suspected materials have to be tested. They are collected and then sent to a laboratory for the testing to be completed. If the tests are positive then measures are taken to secure the area until the removal process can be implemented and completed. For many people, knowing where to look for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) is very important too. In older homes you may not even realize it is a factor to be concerned about.

  3. Some other places where fibrous material may be lurking include: • the fireplace • around wiring housing • asbestos roofing structures • fencing products • cement sheeting • the furnace • and around your plumbing pipes.

  4. Why asbestos testing is necessary? • It is compulsory in those items, which you have no reason to deny, that they contain ACMs. • It is necessary in materials with cracks, tears and also those with water damage since they have higher chances of releasing fibers to the air. • All the repairs should be preceded by professionals to remove all materials that are believed to contain ACMs. Sourch: http://asbestoswatchballarat.com.au/asbestos-testing-ballarat/
