Utah Home Inspections

Asbestos Testing

If you’re buying a home in Utah built before 1979, don’t risk exposure to asbestos. Our inspectors are trained to locate and identify potential asbestos-containing materials in the home. The term asbestos was nearly synonymous with insulation in the United States for much of the 20^th century. Asbestos is now known to be the cause of malignant diseases such as lung cancer, pleural mesothelioma and peritoneal mesothelioma. Microscopic asbestos fibers are tasteless and odorless, and asbestos-related diseases take 20-50 years to develop, making exposure impossible to gauge without the right information.
