Based on multiple factors and type of testing (explained in-depth on our free blog) you can find how much asbestos testing typically costs:

Cost of survey and asbestos inspection: $150 – $900
Cost of dust sample test: $150 – $200
Cos of physical sample test: $300 – $900
Cost of asbestos air test: $400 – $2000

The cost of each testing method is different.
This is because of equipment and technology.
In addition, these methods require trained technicians to do the lab test.

The PCM method is the cheapest.
The results can come quickly and at the site itself.
The other methods are costlier and you need to send samples to the lab.
The results also take time to come.
The government also uses the benefits of these methods to decide on which tests to use.

It has made using PCM and TEM methods compulsory in some cases.
You have to use these tests before moving into a school or other types of buildings.

Some of the other tests are not compulsory.

You can use them for your own satisfaction or for some other purpose.

Sample Cost for Asbestos Testing
If you are planning to sell an old 1500-2000 sq. ft. house, then the buyer may ask you for an asbestos-free house.In addition to the health damage to anyone in or near airborne asbestos, not getting the home or building tested before selling could open the seller to legal liability.

For a 1500-2000 square foot house, the cost of testing would be approximately:

Survey, inspection, and collection of samples $300-$1,200
Asbestos Air Test $300-$1,500
Final inspection if asbestos found $500-$1,000
Total cost of asbestos testing $1,100-$3,700

Why Is Asbestos Testing Important?
Testing for asbestos is very important for your safety and the safety of others.

It is also very important because there are laws regulating asbestos, especially in public places.

If you own the place where you find asbestos, then you may face legal action from the government and other people.

If you use a cheap method, you may not be able to detect asbestos fibers in the air or in materials.

This can cost you very much later if you face legal action.
