Samples and Surveys

Know what you are dealing with—quickly, accurately and before anyone disturbs it.

Why it matters

Suspected asbestos should never be guessed at. A1 coordinates careful sampling and independent specialist laboratory analysis, then explains the result and the safest next step. We pride ourselves on returning results to clients as quickly as possible, with laboratory results provided within 24 hours.

Representative samples are collected carefully, documented and prepared for laboratory analysis.

We help identify suspected asbestos-containing materials, their condition, location and potential for disturbance.

You receive the result quickly, in plain language, with practical recommendations for what should happen next.

Testing before renovation, demolition or maintenance can prevent exposure, delays, emergency responses and avoidable cost.
