Certified Asbestos Testing in Athens, Georgia

🏠 Why Asbestos Testing Matters in Athens, GA

If your home or building in Athens was built before the 1980s, there’s a good chance it contains asbestos materials—especially in popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, insulation, and pipe wrap.

Asbestos doesn’t pose a threat until it’s disturbed, but when it is, the microscopic fibers can lead to serious health risks, including mesothelioma and lung disease.

Whether you’re planning renovations, buying or selling a home, or just want peace of mind, asbestos testing is a must.

🔎 Where Asbestos Hides in Athens Homes

We commonly find asbestos in:

• Popcorn ceilings (especially in homes near Five Points and Normaltown)
• Attic insulation
• Old HVAC duct wrap
• Vinyl floor tiles
• Sheetrock joint compound in mid-century homes

Athens is full of charming older homes and fixer-uppers—but that character often comes with hidden risks. If your property was built before 1985, testing is highly recommended.
