The moment someone comes and tells you that there is an asbestos testing kit available in the market, you naturally feel excited. Actually, there’s nothing special about these kits. All the products available in the kit are separately available in the market and they will probably collectively cost less than the cost of these kits. But we still recommend that you get asbestos testing Sydney done through a professional. There are reasons enough for us to make this recommendation.

Asbestos testing is not a simple job. In fact, when you buy a testing kit, you don’t really do any testing. All you do is collect a sample and send it to a testing lab. So, if you feel excited looking at the contents of a kit, there is really no need to. You will typically find a P2 disposable duct mask, a hand tool for picking up the sample and a couple of click lock bags. You think you can do any testing with these items? You cannot. All these items are easily available in the market.

Asbestos can be found anywhere. It was very commonly used in constructions till about 1986. The ban on asbestos had come in much earlier, but the governments across the world allowed the construction companies to use up their stocks of asbestos. Bonded asbestos doesn’t cause any harm because its structure is intact. Thus, even when you have asbestos in the walls and roof of your home, you need not panic. But, if you feel that the structure of asbestos has been compromised, it is time to opt for asbestos testing Sydney.

To get the testing done, you need to collect a sample from your home and this is where you may require an asbestos testing kit. But as mentioned above, you may not want to buy a kit because you can buy the items easily. Before you start the collection process, ensure that you put on the mask and overalls. Also use gloves so that your hands don’t come in contact with the sample. Now use a hand tool to pick up the sample and put inside a click lock bag. Seal the bag and put it inside the other click lock bag. Now wash your hands properly and visit the website of an asbestos testing Sydney professional. You can download a form, fill it up and put it in an envelope along with the click lock bag. Send it to the given address for testing and the results should be coming your way soon. Ensure that you also send the payment that would be less than $100.

What if the asbestos testing lab informs you that there is friable asbestos present in your home? Again, there is no need to panic. Ask the asbestos testing Sydney lab to recommend a cleaning contractor. Connect with a few of them and ask for quotes. Choose the best of the lot and have the cleaning job done. See, it’s all done without you having to buy an asbestos testing kit.

Asbestos testing is a serious activity that should be taken very seriously. Hire a company for asbestos testing Sydney for accurate results.
