Think you found asbestos? Do this first.


If you suspect asbestos-containing material (especially if it’s damaged), these steps reduce the chance of fibers becoming airborne:

  1. Do not disturb it (don’t cut, sand, drill, scrape, or pull it apart).
  2. Restrict access to the area—keep kids/pets away.
  3. Avoid sweeping, dusting, or vacuuming near the suspected material.
  4. If the material was accidentally disturbed, stop work and avoid further contact.
  5. If you’re remodeling, pause work until testing confirms what you’re dealing with.
  6. Call a professional for an inspection and a safe testing plan.

Think you found asbestos? Do this first.


You can’t reliably confirm asbestos just by looking at a material. Testing matters most when you’re planning to disturb building materials (remodeling, demolition, repairs) or when materials are deteriorating. Our goal is simple: help you identify likely asbestos-containing materials, test safely, and provide a clear plan for what to do next—without guesswork.

What you can expect

  • A visual assessment focused on likely asbestos-containing materials
  • A safe testing plan based on your project (remodel/repair/concern)
  • Sample collection handled with care to minimize disturbance
  • Laboratory analysis (results depend on lab processing time)
  • A clear summary + next-step recommendations (including removal planning if needed)

When asbestos testing is most important


Testing is typically most important in these scenarios:

  • You’re planning a remodel that involves cutting, sanding, drilling, or demolition
  • You found damaged or crumbling material (especially around pipes, ceilings, flooring, or insulation)
  • You’re buying/selling a home and want clarity before renovations
  • Your home is older and you’re unsure what materials were used
  • A contractor flagged a material as “suspected asbestos” and you need confirmation

If materials are in good condition and won’t be disturbed, they’re often best left alone. The risk rises when materials are damaged or disturbed.

Common places asbestos may be found in older Denver-area properties


Asbestos was used in many building products for heat resistance and durability. Some common suspects include:

  • Popcorn/textured ceilings and some ceiling tiles
  • Vinyl floor tile and adhesives (mastic)
  • Drywall joint compound and patching materials
  • Pipe insulation, boiler wrap, duct insulation/wrap
  • Vermiculite attic insulation
  • Siding, roofing materials, and some cement board products
  • Older gaskets, sealants, and heat-resistant panels

Asbestos testing options (what’s typically tested)

What’s tested Common example Why it matters Next step
Material (bulk) sample texture/ceiling material, floor tile, drywall compound, insulation wrap Confirms whether the material contains asbestos If positive and you plan to disturb it, plan abatement/removal
Multiple material samples (remodel scope) kitchen/bath demo areas, flooring + walls + ceilings Prevents surprises mid-project Build a safe work plan and timeline before demolition starts
Post-removal/clearance testing (optional / third-party) after abatement work is completed Verifies the space meets the agreed safety standard before re-occupancy Proceed with rebuild/repairs after clearance (when requested)

Testing approach varies by property, material condition, and project scope.

How our asbestos testing process works


We keep the process clear so you know what’s happening and why.

Call + quick project assessment

We learn what you’re seeing, where it is, and whether remodeling/repairs are planned.

On-site visual assessment

We review suspect areas and identify which materials are most important to test based on risk and planned disturbance.

Safe sampling plan

We outline which samples to collect and how we’ll minimize disturbance.

Lab analysis

Samples are analyzed and results are provided once available (timelines depend on lab processing).

Results + next-step plan

We explain findings in plain language and outline options—leave in place, encapsulate, or plan removal/abatement (based on your goals and the condition of the material).

How to choose an asbestos testing company in Denver


If you’re comparing options, here’s what matters most:

  • A safety-first approach (minimize disturbance, clear guidance)
  • Clear scope: what will be sampled and why
  • Transparent communication about lab testing and results delivery
  • Practical next steps if results are positive (not fear-based selling)
  • Willingness to coordinate removal/abatement planning if needed
  • Proof of qualifications when requested

If you want a second opinion, we’re happy to provide a clear assessment and next-step plan.

Is asbestos testing covered by insurance?

Coverage varies by policy and why testing is needed. In many cases, asbestos testing is done for remodeling or pre-project safety planning rather than a covered loss. If asbestos is discovered as part of restoring damage from a covered event, your carrier may have specific requirements. We can provide documentation and help you understand the next steps for the project.

We don’t determine coverage—your insurance carrier does.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • Can you tell if something is asbestos just by looking at it?

    Not reliably. Many materials look similar. Testing is the only way to confirm whether a material contains asbestos.

  • When should I get asbestos testing?

    Testing is most important before remodeling or repairs that will disturb materials, or when materials are damaged or deteriorating.

  • What should I do if I suspect asbestos in my home?

    Don’t disturb the material. Restrict access to the area, avoid sweeping/vacuuming nearby, and schedule a professional inspection/testing plan.

  • Is asbestos dangerous if it’s not disturbed?

    Risk increases when asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed. If materials are in good condition and won’t be disturbed, they’re often best left alone.

  • What areas of a home commonly contain asbestos?

    Common suspects include textured ceilings, certain flooring/adhesives, drywall compounds, pipe/duct insulation, and some attic insulation and exterior materials—especially in older properties.

  • How does asbestos testing work?

    A professional identifies suspect materials, collects samples with a safety-first approach, and submits them for laboratory analysis. You receive results and recommended next steps.

  • What happens if my test is positive?

    If the material will be disturbed (remodeling/repairs), you’ll typically need a safe plan—often including professional abatement/removal. If it won’t be disturbed and is in good condition, leaving it in place may be an option.

  • Do you provide asbestos removal if needed?

    Yes. If testing confirms asbestos and removal is required for your project, we can outline removal/abatement options and next steps.

  • Do you offer free estimates?

    Yes. We provide free estimates based on your scope and the areas that need assessment/testing.

  • What areas do you serve?
