Why Asbestos Testing Matters in Chicago & Suburbs

Many homes and commercial buildings in Chicago and surrounding suburbs — especially those built before 1990 — still contain asbestos in materials like drywall, floor tiles, mastic, insulation, siding, and roofing.

If these materials are disturbed during remodeling, demolition, or repairs, asbestos fibers can be released into the air. Inhaling these fibers can cause serious health problems such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

In Illinois, asbestos testing is often required before you can get renovation or demolition permits. Skipping it can lead to delays, fines, or costly work stoppages.

At Asbestos Testing & Inspection, we are licensed, certified, and 100% independent — we never perform asbestos removal, so our results are always unbiased. Get fast lab turnaround, accurate results, and the confidence to move forward safely.

What We Inspect & Test

We test materials that may contain asbestos — especially those being disturbed during renovations, repairs, or demolition. Each inspection includes a visual review and bulk sampling of suspect materials.

  • Floor tile, mastic (glue), and sheet vinyl

  • Popcorn ceilings and textured coatings

  • Joint compound, drywall, and plaster

  • Pipe insulation, boiler wrap, duct tape

  • Roofing shingles and cement siding panels

We'll walk you through what should be tested and how many samples are recommended based on your project.
