Tell us about the project

Send the address, rooms, suspect materials and timeline. We confirm the sampling scope and quote before booking.

We collect the samples

Leave suspect material in place for the technician. We collect the agreed samples for laboratory analysis.

Review your results

Written results are available 5 to 7 business days after testing. We explain the findings for the materials sampled.

Results apply to the materials sampled. Let us know about any contractor or building-management requirements before the visit.

Material testing throughout the District

We arrange testing for DC homes, condos and separately entered basement units. Tell us which floors, ceilings or insulation are part of the work so we can plan the visit.

For a Capitol Hill rowhouse or a Petworth basement renovation, identify the floor and rooms where work will happen. If the project includes a condo or shared mechanical space, tell us who can authorize access and which materials need testing.

Asbestos testing questions in Washington

Does one sample cover the whole property?
No. Results apply to the materials sampled. Different finishes, layers or additions may need separate samples. We discuss the scope before booking; a negative result does not clear every untested material in the building.
How much does asbestos testing cost?
Request a quote for your property and project. Testing includes up to three samples, with additional samples at $95 each. We confirm the total based on the agreed scope before the visit.
Can I add testing to a home inspection?
Yes. Include your inspection date or order details when requesting a quote. Asbestos testing is a separate service, so our team will confirm the arrangements with you.
What if the result is positive?
A positive result means asbestos was found in the sampled material. We explain the findings and next steps. A qualified asbestos professional can advise on management or removal. NextDay Inspect provides material testing, not abatement.
Will you test the air or provide clearance testing?
No. This service tests building materials for asbestos. We do not offer asbestos air testing. Tell us about any contractor or project requirements before booking so we can confirm whether our service fits.
