Done Right Testing performs asbestos testing in homes and commercial locations. We would collect asbestos air sampling or bulk material sampling or both depending on the situation. We can come to you same day for asbestos testing in homes and businesses in Hawthorne, which is a small town on the eastern border of Passaic County.
There are a multitude of reasons one may need to have asbestos testing performed: obtaining a permit to demolish or renovate, real estate transactions, or simply health concerns and wanting to know what kinds of materials are in your home or business.
Asbestos is found in a lot of places, including many that you would not think of including makeup, clutches and brakes in vehicles, HVAC insulation, talcum powder and more!
There are multiple benefits to hiring a local company. We are local and able to respond on short notice. It is easier for us to schedule appointments for you in Hawthorne because we are across town at furthest.
We are motivated to give back to our local community. We purchase all our materials from local businesses when we can. Our laboratory that analyzes our asbestos samples is also based in New Jersey.
We perform two primary types of testing: Bulk (Material) Testing and Air Sampling. Bulk material collection is a bit a misnomer as it is really only a tiny amount of material – a tiny sandwich bag will be large enough to hold an asbestos bulk sample. We decide how many samples to collect based on requirements dictated by the Department of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency.
All samples taken by us are sent to a laboratory here in New Jersey for analysis. They will confirm whether asbestos is present and the concentration.
Bulk sampling methods vary based on the types of material we are taking and the amount of it in the structure. There are multiple different rules and regulations about how many samples to take based on what the structure is used for.
It is impossible for us to give an estimate on the website here, so please give us a call for more information.
We also can take asbestos air samples. Air sampling should be done either during or after an asbestos abatement (removal) has taken place in your home to make sure that the abatement company removed all the asbestos containing material and that they did not leave behind any fibers. Cross-contamination occurs when asbestos fibers escape the work area and are found in areas where there was no asbestos containing material prior to the job. This is the “worst case” scenario post-abatement.
Air is collected via a Zefon vaccum pump and stored in a cassette similar to the one pictured. These cassettes are be analyzed at a certified laboratory via one of two methods: PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) or TEM (Transmission Electron Microscopy). Government regulation dictates which methodology we utilize. Once the results are received from the lab, we write up a report. You are then given a copy of the report which contains the results and other findings.
Do you have any questions about this process? Please contact us right away and we would be happy to answer your questions!
The only way to be sure whether a material contains asbestos is to have it tested by a qualified laboratory. EPA only recommends testing suspect materials if they are damaged (fraying, crumbling) or if you are planning a renovation that would disturb the suspect material. Samples should be taken by a properly trained and accredited asbestos professional (inspector).
You can perform an internet search for “asbestos contractor” and the location of your home. Contact your state to determine what state training and accreditation requirements may exist for both the contractor and their workers. EPA recommends that you use an asbestos contractor that is properly trained to handle asbestos. New Jersey’s Department of Labor has a webpage for this which you can access by clicking here.
If you have vermiculite insulation in your home, you should assume this material may be contaminated with asbestos and be aware of steps you can take to protect yourself and your family from exposure to asbestos. The EPA recommends that vermiculite insulation be left undisturbed. Airborne asbestos fibers present a health risk through inhalation, so the first step is to not disturb the material, which could release fibers into the air. The degree of health risk depends on how much and how often this occurred. If you choose to remove the vermiculite insulation, this work should be done by a trained and accredited asbestos abatement contractor that is separate and independent from the company that performed the assessment of the vermiculite insulation to avoid any conflict of interest.
Removal of the vermiculite insulation may not be necessary if it will be left undisturbed. If you choose to have the vermiculite insulation removed, the EPA recommends that you use a trained and accredited asbestos contractor that is separate and independent from the company that performed the assessment of the vermiculite insulation to avoid any conflict of interest.
We, Done Right Testing, can perform this service for you. Give us a call. Alternatively, you can perform an internet search for “asbestos inspection” or “asbestos material testing” or “asbestos testing” and the location of your home. Also, make sure that the inspector is properly trained and accredited by your state.
