Asbestos Survey

A specialised inspection for asbestos-containing materials — relevant to homes built before 1990.

An asbestos survey identifies asbestos-containing materials in a property — most commonly in eaves, cement sheeting, vinyl floor tiles, roofing and insulation in homes built before 1990. A standard building inspection may flag potential asbestos but does not test or sample it. Removal must be done by a licensed asbestos removalist under state OHS regulations; DIY removal of bonded asbestos under 10 m² is permitted in most states but discouraged.
