Sampling points in a detached house in Nurmijärvi

The stock of detached houses in Nurmijärvi dates mainly from the 1960s to the 1990s. In houses completed before 1994 asbestos is most often found in the adhesive under the floor tile, in the substrate of the vinyl flooring, in the wet room waterproofing membrane and in the asbestos cement sheets of the roof and facade. From a sheet material the sample is taken at the edge, which keeps dust to a minimum.

Safe sampling on your own

Dampen the surface lightly before detaching, wear a respirator and remove only a small piece. Seal the sample in two tightly closed bags and mark the structure. Post the letter to our laboratory in Espoo; from Nurmijärvi the letter typically arrives the next business day. The sample requires no special handling when the packaging is tight.
