Asbestos Testing Services Chicago

To determine the percentage of asbestos fibers in a particular building material, a sample of the material must be properly collected by an Illinois-licensed Asbestos Inspector. Each sample must be documented on a chain-of-custody form, delivered to an accredited laboratory, and analyzed by the laboratory. The results are submitted to the inspector who interprets the results and sends the report to the customer.

Bluestone charges $100 for the first sample and $20 for each additional sample. Keep in mind that, while the estimator is at the site collecting the samples he can also take measurements and obtain other information necessary to provide a written cost estimate for those materials found to contain asbestos. In the event the client awards the removal project to Bluestone, the customer will not be charged for any of the asbestos testing costs.

If more extensive testing is necessary, Bluestone can recommend an asbestos testing company. The testing company can be retained to conduct a comprehensive asbestos materials inspection in all areas of the home or facility. Afterward, the customer should expect an asbestos materials inspection report which would include a list of materials found to contain asbestos, the estimated quantities of asbestos, the condition of each material, photographs, analytical data sheets, etc.
