Asbestos Testing Mackay with a Satisfaction Guarantee
Do you need professional asbestos testing in Mackay with a satisfaction guarantee? If your property is of a certain age, then the answer is probably yes.
Asbestos is a cancer-causing substance that was not officially banned in Australia until 31 December 2003!
The sad part is asbestos was widely used in the Australian construction sector and was in full swing until the mid-1980s.
The outcome –
Most homes, commercial, and industrial properties that were constructed here in Australia before 1990 have asbestos in them in some form or another. This is where we come in.
Our approach
Before removing the asbestos from your property, we will test the asbestos-containing material to confirm the exact type of asbestos present on-site.
This is essential as friable and bonded asbestos-containing materials need to be removed using different removal procedures. If we fail to figure out the exact type of asbestos you have in your property, we may end up damaging the internal environment of your property as well as the surrounding environment.
Our team members use a testing method that we have developed and perfected in-house over the years. This consists of taking a small sample of the suspicious material and conducting laboratory tests.
This allows us to determine whether it contains asbestos and, if so, which type.

- Go to a school,
- Head over to a job in an office,
- Unknowingly handle asbestos-contaminated products, or

We will gather a team of professionals who will be sent to your property in to remove the asbestos-containing material from the –
- Floors,
- Walls,
- Ceilings, and
- Other areas that may or may not have been identified by our team members as potential asbestos-containing areas.
After this, our team members will decontaminate all the identified areas using only up-to-date equipment and approved procedures. Following this, an asbestos report will be issued with the findings to ensure that your property is asbestos-free.
Why is asbestos sampling important?
Well, as mentioned earlier, asbestos is a carcinogenic substance and the sad part is most Australian properties that were built before the 1990s have asbestos-containing materials in them.
Hence, you should call us and avail of our asbestos sampling services if your property was built before the 1990s and your have plans to –
- Renovate or
- Demolish the property in the near future.
You should keep in mind that is it illegal to remove over 10 square meters of asbestos yourself. On top of this, it can create a huge health risk for your family, your neighbours, your employees, and yourself.
Hence, leave this messy and dangerous work to experts like us.
Asbestos Demolition Mackay
We have put together a special set of procedures that help us contain the spread of asbestos particles when we are demolishing sections of your property that contain this dangerous substance.
We use these specialised procedures in a bid to protect you, your family members, and your employees (in case your commercial property has an asbestos problem) as well as the Australian environment from the harmful effects of asbestos.
Our unique approach
When our asbestos demolition process is taking place, we will not allow anyone to enter the section(s) of the property in question.
We will be sealing off those sections of the property to prevent contamination of both the internal environment of the property as well as the external environment surrounding the property.
We will use –
- Polyethylene film,
- Duct tape, and
- (Only for class A asbestos) Negative air pressure machines fitted with HEPA filters in tandem to seal off the affected areas from the rest of the property and the environment in general. Water management systems to filter water, three-stage showers, and positive flow masks are also used for class A asbestos removal.
After this, our team members will be using a special vacuum cleaner that is specifically designed for asbestos containment.
