Asbestos Testing Carol Stream IL – Home & Remodel Sampling
Carol Stream saw steady home construction from the 1960s through the 1990s — decades when asbestos was commonly used in vinyl flooring, mastic adhesive, drywall joint compound, popcorn ceilings, attic insulation, and pipe insulation. Many homes appear modern, but older asbestos layers often remain hidden beneath flooring, behind walls, or above ceilings.
We provide licensed asbestos testing in Carol Stream, IL with bulk sample collection, accredited PLM lab analysis, and written PDF reports for renovation planning, demolition, basement finishing, and real estate transactions.
No remediation.
No conflict of interest.
Just verified results.

Why Carol Stream Homes Should Be Tested Before Renovation
Construction periods in Carol Stream align directly with peak asbestos use — especially around North Ave, Schmale Rd, Gretna Station, Autumn Ridge, and Armstrong Park.
We commonly find asbestos in:
9x9 / 12x12 floor tile + black mastic
Popcorn ceilings in bedrooms & hallways
Sheet vinyl + felt backing in kitchens & bathrooms
Drywall joint compound beneath newer paint or skim coats
Basement ceiling tiles from earlier rec-room buildouts
Pipe wrap & boiler insulation in mechanical rooms
Vermiculite attic insulation
Siding & roofing underlayments on older homes
Even remodeled homes can still contain original asbestos beneath updated finishes.
Testing first prevents expensive mid-project surprises.
