Asbestos Testing Los Angeles

Asbestos Testing in Los Angeles - Can United Air Care Help?

Many times, homeowners make the mistake of dismissing potentially dangerous material because it does not look damaged or exposed. You can never be too sure about asbestos just by looking at it with the naked eye. All suspect material should be treated as if it does contain asbestos and can be potentially hazardous to the health of your family and the home. Make sure to avoid the area and report the problem to United Air Care, which does asbestos testing in Los Angeles.

Are you sure your ceiling contains asbestos?

Many ceilings that contain the "popcorn" texture don't automatically contain asbestos, but you can never be too careful. Submit a sample to a company that does asbestos testing in Los Angeles, such as United Air Care, and they will be able to confirm. Cost is extremely low and can be done yourself (we don't recommend it). If you feel comfortable doing it yourself, please follow precise direction and be aware that you are working with potentially life threatening carcinogens.

Asbestos Testing in Los Angeles - How do we do it?

Our technicians sure to shut down any cooling or heating in order to minimize agitation / avoid release of fibers.
We make sure to contain the testing area and avoid disturbing any material more than is needed
Wetting the area is vital in removing samples. Our technicians make sure to use a few sprays of water which contains detergent
The asbestos will absorb the mixture and is less likely to reduce the harmful fibers into the air
We will then cut a small sample size of the material and group it accordingly (frayed material and non-frayed)
