  1. 10 Questions to Ask When Choosing an Asbestos Testing Services NYC The decision to have asbestos testing done can be scary for New York City residents, but it’s an important one that shouldn’t be overlooked. Asbestos can lead to serious health problems and even cause death if left untreated, so choosing the right Asbestos testing services NYC is essential. Here are 10 questions you should ask any potential asbestos testing service before hiring them or using them. 1) What’s your experience in this industry? It’s important to choose a company with experience working with businesses similar to yours. For example, if you own a restaurant, you’ll want a firm that understands how your industry operates and what tests apply to your business. For example, should inspectors check ventilation systems? Do certain types of restaurants require specific tests? These sorts of questions should be answer before you hire a company. What type of equipment do you use?: Many environmental testing services rely on specialized equipment to complete their work. For example, asbestos abatement is completed using thermal imaging cameras and monitors to make sure workers aren’t exposed to unsafe levels of asbestos fibers. This is just one piece of equipment; companies in different industries use many others—and you must ask about each one so you know exactly what will be used in your space during testing or remediation projects.

  2. 2) What are your testing methods? Does your company use only one testing method for asbestos, or do you use more than one? It’s common for companies to use multiple testing methods—specifically, small samples are tested with a TEM (transmission electron microscope) and bulk samples are tested using polarized light microscopy. However, some companies will only test using TEMs; these methods can be expensive but give more accurate results. If you want to save money on asbestos testing services NYC, it might be worth considering a company that uses only one method. 3) How long have you been serving this area? You’re probably familiar with asbestos removal services if you live in New York City. (Asbestos abatement NYC is a huge business.) Ensure that your prospective consultant has been serving your area for several years, ideally working alongside local businesses and homeowners; some inspection services are still new to their industry, but they have no experience with NY weather or humidity. Don’t let anyone rush you into deciding: if there aren’t any asbestos consultants in your city who can answer all of these questions, look elsewhere. Even if it means traveling across state lines or waiting until summertime to hire someone. 4) Do you offer professional recommendations based on test results? If not, why should I use your services over another company? Do you have any certifications or accreditations?: If so, what are they? How long have you been performing asbestos testing and removal?: Do you perform both commercial and residential projects?: Will my results be kept private and confidential even if I don’t choose your company for further action? Is there anything else I should know about asbestos testing that might influence my decision of who to choose for my project? 5) What do I do if there is asbestos present? You must hire a certified asbestos abatement firm if you’re dealing with asbestos. These companies are licensed by New York State and follow strict guidelines for asbestos removal. The most important questions to ask when hiring one are how long they have been doing asbestos testing, how many tests they have completed, and what accreditations they have earned. Request references from past customers as well. 6) Are you able to recommend legal representatives? One of the first questions you should ask before choosing a company is whether or not they can recommend legal representatives. No matter how good they are, they won’t be able to help you if they don’t know how different areas of law work in practice. Suppose you have any disputes that arise because of asbestos abatement. In that case, it’s best to have lawyers on your side who have experience with asbestos abatement NYC companies and

  3. can present a solid case for you. Are you registered?: Every asbestos testing service will tell you that they are licensed and registered. But many factors come into play when deciding which one to go with. You should make sure their registration covers asbestos abatement and all other related services like inspections and removals. The more specialized their license is, the more confident you can be about their qualifications. 7) Will you guarantee the accuracy of your results? Accuracy is important. There are many variables involved in asbestos removal. And if you’re dealing with a contractor who isn’t honest about his capabilities, it can cost you. Get your contractor on record that he guarantees his results. If he says well, yes we can do that but there might be some extra fees… run away as fast as you can! Insist that he guarantees 100% accuracy. 8) Do you offer free quotes over the phone or online? If a company does not offer free quotes over the phone or online, you should avoid them. Their business model is not very customer friendly. Instead, you should ask for a free quote via email. If they try to charge you before giving you a quote, just hang up and call another one of their competitors. There are plenty of asbestos testing companies out there that will be more than happy to give you their services at no cost! Just make sure it’s a legitimate service first!9) Is it possible to pay for your services by credit card (if applicable)? Yes, it is possible to pay for our services by credit card. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Do you have experience with asbestos abatement?: Our company has been involved in asbestos abatement projects since 1999. 10) Do you offer competitive pricing and what payment options do you accept? The first thing you want to ask is if they offer competitive pricing. Secondly, you need to determine what payment options are available and how much experience they have. By asking these questions upfront you can save yourself from dealing with a company that doesn’t know what they are doing or cannot be trusted with your money. Finally, you should also ask which of their services might help your business since different companies will have different areas of expertise, such as asbestos testing services in NYC.
