Mould & Asbestos Testing

Concerned about mould or asbestos in your property?

The only definitive way to confirm the presence of mould or asbestos is laboratory testing. We take the samples, send them to the lab, and get you the answers you need — across Hamilton and the Golden Horseshoe.

Why lab testing is the only real answer

You can't confirm mould or asbestos by eye. Visible staining, an odour, or an old material that looks suspect are all reasons to test — but the only way to know for certain what you're dealing with, and how much of it, is laboratory analysis. We're prepared to take samples from your areas of concern and get you a definitive answer.

How we test for mould

Mould testing is performed with a rotary vane jarless air pump and mould cassettes. This samples the air in the space and confirms the amount and types of mould present. We also take surface samples where relevant. Once results are back, we're here to help you interpret them and offer guidance on next steps — not just hand you a lab report and leave you to figure it out.

How we test for asbestos

Asbestos testing is performed by safely removing a small sample of the material in question, which is then definitively confirmed or cleared by laboratory testing. Disturbing suspect material yourself isn't worth the risk — a proper sample, taken carefully, gives you a real answer.

When to test

Testing makes the most sense for older properties, homes with a history of water damage, and any property going through renovation — all situations where mould and asbestos are more likely to be present and less likely to be obvious. If you're not sure whether your situation calls for testing, get in touch and we'll talk it through.
