You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

The microscopic asbestos fibers do not cause eye irritation, throat irritation, or lung irritation. If you are inhaling fibers, you will not know it. This lack of immediate symptoms is one of the reasons why asbestos is so dangerous. You cannot know for certain if you are inhaling fibers, which is why you must wear safety gear if you could have any chance of an exposure while working.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

Depending on the size of your home, the inspection process could take a few hours or a few days.
