As a homeowner or property manager in Caerphilly, ensuring the quality and safety of your private water supply is crucial. One potential contaminant that can pose a significant risk to human health is asbestos. In this article, we will discuss how to test your private water supply for asbestos and what services are available to help you do so.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that can be found in soil, rocks, and water. While it was once widely used in construction and other industries, asbestos is now known to be a carcinogen, and exposure to it can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. If your private water supply is contaminated with asbestos, it can pose a significant risk to the health of you and your family.

Our team of experts has over 10 years of experience in asbestos testing and removal, and we are fully insured for all types of asbestos testing and removal jobs.

To test your private water supply for asbestos, we will typically collect a water sample from your tap or well. The sample will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis, where it will be tested for the presence of asbestos fibers. We use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results.

Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) and mica are two common materials that can contain asbestos. RAAC is a type of concrete that was widely used in construction in the 1960s and 1970s, and it can contain up to 10% asbestos. Mica is a type of mineral that can also contain asbestos. If you have RAAC or mica in your property, it's essential to have it tested for asbestos.

In addition to asbestos testing, we also offer geotechnical and Legionella testing services. Geotechnical testing involves analyzing the physical properties of soil and rock to determine its stability and potential for contamination. Legionella testing involves analyzing water samples for the presence of Legionella bacteria, which can cause Legionnaires' disease.
