We attended a residential property at 36 Lake Street, Avondale Heights to carry out asbestos sampling prior to planned renovation works.
The client wanted clarity before starting, particularly around the bathroom and flooring areas which are commonly associated with asbestos containing materials in older homes.
All samples were carefully collected and handled in accordance with safe sampling procedures and submitted to a NATA accredited laboratory for analysis.
Scope of Sampling
- Vinyl floor material
- Bathroom under tile substrate
- Bath tub material
Each sample was taken in a controlled manner to avoid fibre release and cross contamination.
Laboratory Results
All materials tested returned no asbestos detected.
- Vinyl flooring identified as synthetic mineral fibre
- Bathroom substrate identified as natural organic fibre
- Bath tub material identified as natural organic fibre
These results confirm that the tested materials do not contain asbestos and do not require licensed removal
Outcome
The client was able to proceed with renovation works immediately without delays or additional asbestos removal costs.
Why This Matters
We see this all the time. Clients assume materials contain asbestos and either delay projects or budget for removal unnecessarily. Proper sampling gives you a clear answer so you can move forward with confidence.
