Asbestos Testing in Chicago Area
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is carcinogenic and can cause serious health problems for people who are exposed to it. Commonly recognized as a health hazard, asbestos can be found in such products as insulation for pipes, floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, drywall, grout, caulking, roof shingles, tar paper, air duct tape and many other types of building materials. The professionals at Eagle Environmental Consultants are experts at identifying and managing your asbestos.
Asbestos Inspections
Asbestos inspections are useful in identifying asbestos materials in buildings built in the 1980s and before. Surveys provide building owners/operators, purchasers, real estate companies, financial institutions and developers with useful information on the location, condition and quantity of asbestos materials. The inspection must be completed by a licensed state inspector, which Eagle can provide by our in-house inspectors. Eagle can complete the survey at any facility and can also provide the client with information on the removal options and management of the materials
