At Alga Environmental, our professionals are highly trained and certified to perform testing in both residential and commercial buildings. We use advanced equipment and proven methods to identify asbestos in your property, employing three different techniques for accurate detection:
Material Samples: We analyze fibers using polarized light to identify mineral-specific properties. This allows us to detect asbestos particles and determine the percentage of asbestos present in various building materials.
Dust Samples: We utilize common sampling methods, such as scrape samples, tape-lift, wipe, or micro-vacuuming, to determine the presence of asbestos on surfaces. These results aid our team in assessing whether asbestos is present in a building.

Our OSHA certified sampling technicians do their best to remove as little material as possible from the most discrete area possible while still following the requirements. There may be visible damage when removing a sample that is simply unavoidable.

Asbestos testing is essential for identifying and managing potential asbestos hazards in your property. Knowing the process helps ensure accurate results and proper preparation. Here’s what to expect during asbestos testing with Alga Environmental:
The process begins with a consultation, where our experts will address your concerns, assess the property, and gather relevant information, including the property’s construction history, to better understand potential asbestos risks.
A comprehensive site inspection will be carried out to detect any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Our trained professionals will examine key areas such as walls, ceilings, flooring, insulation, pipes, and HVAC systems to locate any potential ACMs.
If ACMs are suspected, samples will be collected using strict protocols to prevent the release of asbestos fibers. Each sample is carefully sealed, labeled, and sent for laboratory analysis to ensure accuracy.
Our partner laboratories follow stringent procedures to test for asbestos using advanced techniques like Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) or Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). These methods ensure precise identification and quantification of asbestos fibers in the samples.
