Asbestos Testing Homewood IL – Renovation & Demo
Homewood housing spans from the post-war 1950s through the late 1970s — decades when asbestos was standard in flooring tile, popcorn ceilings, drywall compound, pipe insulation, and attic mixes. Renovating these homes without testing can lead to shutdowns, exposure, contested real estate deals, or mandatory abatement.
We provide licensed asbestos testing in Homewood, IL with bulk sampling, accredited PLM analysis, and written PDF reports accepted by contractors, village inspectors, insurance adjusters, and real estate professionals.
No remediation.
No selling fear.
Just certified lab-backed results.

Why Homewood Needs Testing Before Renovating
Homewood’s building wave sits dead-center inside the asbestos era.
Most common ACM we find:
9x9 & 12x12 basement floor tile + mastic adhesive
Popcorn ceilings in original bedrooms & living areas
Drywall compound behind newer paint layers
Sheet vinyl flooring + felt backer in kitchens/baths
Pipe wrap & boiler insulation in basements
Acoustic ceiling tiles in lower-levels / rec rooms
Vermiculite attic insulation in older homes
Even remodeled homes often have hidden layers beneath upgrades.
Testing first protects the project — and your wallet
