Asbestos Sampling in Surrey
If you’re considering a major renovation, it’s important to determine whether the insulation in your attic or other areas contains asbestos. With older homes, there’s always a chance that these bygone materials could pose a health risk, especially when disturbed during any property-altering work.
The only way to determine the concentration of asbestos is through professional sampling and testing. Scott Asbestos And Hazardous Material Removal Ltd collects and analyzes samples to ensure you get accurate results.
Make informed decisions and keep your Surrey property free from hazardous materials—call (604) 472-7499 to schedule your asbestos sampling!
Schedule Asbestos SamplingHow Do You Interpret the Results of an Asbestos Survey?
To interpret the results of an asbestos survey, we analyze the concentration of asbestos fibers in the collected samples, assessing whether the levels detected are above or below the permissible limit. If the results are negative, that’s good news—you don’t need any materials removed.
If the asbestos levels are within unsafe levels, it indicates the need for removal. When we have the results of the study, we can discuss the type of asbestos and its location. Sometimes, materials may be contaminated in only some areas—in which case, having multiple samples can help.
How Many Asbestos Samples Do You Need?
The number of asbestos samples needed can partly depend on the homogeneity of the materials in your property. Homogeneous materials, such as identical ceiling tiles or insulation throughout your space, may require fewer samples because they’re consistent in composition.
We decide on the appropriate number of samples based on factors like the size of the area and the variety of materials present. For example, if your home has different types of flooring or wall insulation, we can collect multiple samples to ensure thorough testing and accurate results.

Do You Still Need Asbestos Removal if Tests Are Near-Negative?
Even if asbestos tests are near-negative, removal is likely still necessary, depending on the condition and location of the material and the exact value of the results. If the asbestos-containing material is damaged or in an area prone to disturbance, it can still pose a risk over time at low concentrations.
If you have certain areas on your property yielding negative results and others that are low but still at sufficiently high percentages, then we can proceed with the removal process as required. It’s not that uncommon for different parts of a property to have varying levels of asbestos.
