Asbestos & Lead Detection
Asbestos and Lead Detection from Pillar To Post™
Although asbestos and lead have been banned in all construction in North America for nearly three decades, older homes can still contain these harmful substances. Pillar To Post™ performs inspections for asbestos and lead.
How do I Know if My Home Contains Asbestos or Lead?
Lead and asbestos have been banned in construction and materials used in construction since the early 1980s, however, some homes still have traces of these toxic compounds. Older homes and properties that have not been renovated or updated, as well as buildings in larger metropolitan areas, stand the largest chance to contain lead and asbestos. If you are looking to purchase an older home or condominium, or an apartment in an older building, consider having it tested for lead and asbestos. Pillar To Post Home Inspectors™ provides a comprehensive home inspection with the option to include additional services like lead testing and testing for asbestos.
