Asbestos testing takes place in two stages—collection and lab testing. Collection can take less than 20 minutes if a professional manages to get a direct sample. If air samples are required, then the pro will set up a testing device and return to collect it.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
