Taking Your Own Asbestos Samples

Anyone can take asbestos samples to a laboratory for analysis. However, your asbestos report will only be accepted by a contractor or permitting office if the inspection was performed by a state certified asbestos inspector. Hiring a state certified asbestos inspector will ensure that samples and documentation will be done according to all applicable state and federal regulations.

If you do not require a state certified report and are seeking a laboratory to have samples tested yourself, there are several excellent laboratories around town such as Reservoirs Environmental, EMSL Analytical or Aerobiology Laboratories.
