What happens during an asbestos test?

They will then send the sample to an accredited laboratory or the local health department for testing. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-asbestos-test-cost.htm">cost of asbestos testing</a> depends on your location, the home's size, and the testing area's complexity.

However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.</div>
