Q: Do all gravity furnaces have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, but it&rsquo;s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren&rsquo;t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn&rsquo;t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.</p></div>

Q: How long does testing take?

• <div><p>Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to see test results?

• <div><p>A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won&rsquo;t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed. </p></div>
