Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Järvenpää
Detached-house residents in Järvenpää can remove the suspect material themselves, seal the piece in a bag and send it to Onelab by letter. This suits the city's hands-on renovators well, as their terraced and detached houses often date from the 1970s and 1980s.

Sampling points in a Järvenpää property
The housing stock of Järvenpää consists mainly of 1960s-1980s apartment blocks and terraced houses along with detached houses. There asbestos most typically appears in the adhesive under floor tiles, in the substrate of vinyl flooring, in tile adhesives and in pipe insulation. Take the sample through the full thickness of the structure - the surface material alone says nothing about the adhesive layer beneath, which is often exactly the part containing asbestos.
Instructions come with the order
With the order you receive written sampling instructions and the labels you need. The sample can be taken straight away or later - the order does not expire. Many people order the analysis in advance before the renovation starts, so the sample can go out the same day the suspect structure is exposed.
