Calling ELCO was a smart choice. They were patient when I asked questions and listened to my concerns. They showed up on time, and all testing results were sent to me as soon as they were available. I would call on them again in a heartbeat.

The four person crew arrived early. They were done in an hour and a half. The gutters look great and they hauled away the old gutters. It's hasn't rained yet, therefore they have not been tested. I'll be back should there be a leak. Happy for now.

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.
