Asbestos Inspection and Testing in Bergen County NJ
If you are buying a home, need a permit for renovation, demolition, or construction, or are simply concerned about old building materials in your Bergen County building, we offer qualified asbestos inspections and testing.
Our Asbestos Testing Methods:
Bulk material sampling
We mostly use polarized light microscopy to analyze mineral-specific properties to identify asbestos materials. Transmission electron microscopy is used when needed.
Asbestos air sampling
To confirm there is no residual asbestos in the air, our sampling process includes air samples which are sent for lab analysis.
Dust sampling
Tape-lift, micro-vacuuming, wiping, or scraping are all common methods we use to sample surfaces for asbestos dust.
Asbestos fibers are undetectable to the naked eye. The only way to confirm whether asbestos is in a material or in the air is with professional testing.
Asbestos Removal and Abatement in Bergen County NJ
When asbestos products are in good condition, they’re not necessarily a problem if you don’t disturb them. However, if you’re planning any kind of building project, you need to have the asbestos safely removed by licensed asbestos abatement professionals before you can legally hire anyone to work on your home project.
Our Asbestos Removal Process:
- Establish a secure working area to avoid cross-contamination.
- Abate the asbestos, using wet methods to limit dust.
- Clean-up of the affected area.
- A report of work and findings.

FAQ
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals, popularized due to their malleability and resistance to heat, water, and electricity.
Scientific findings about health problems from asbestos exposure lead to a steep decline in asbestos use by the late 1970s. Airborne asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, pulmonary diseases like asbestosis, pleural plaques, and other health risks.
Types of asbestos include:
- Chrysotile (white asbestos)
- Amotile (brown asbestos)
- Crocidolite (blue asbestos)
- Anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite.
How much does asbestos removal in Bergen County cost?
The cost of asbestos inspection services or asbestos removal (asbestos abatement project) depends on a variety of factors, such as the square footage of your residential or business buildings, and the tools our workers will need. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to generalize about the exact price.
