1. Plastic sheeting will be laid sheeting below the area where samples will be taken and secured with tape.
2. The area to be tested will be sprayed with water to keep loose fibers from getting in the air.
3. A tool is used to cut into the substance to be tested to get a sample of fibers.
4. A small sample of the material which might be or contain asbestos is placed in a sealable container.
5. The area where the sample was taken is patched to prevent suspected fibers from spreading.
6. The contained sample is then taken to a certified lab for testing. 
7. Results often take 5 business days to be determined upon which a certificate of analysis is issued.
8. We can email or deliver it to the jobsite.  At this point we consult on the options available.
