- 1). Strike your garage floor with the tip of a screwdriver and listen to the resulting sound. Asbestos cement, usually installed in large sheets, tends to make a drum-like sound when struck. Unlike regular cement, it does not make a solid thudding noise.
- 2). Look at the edges of your garage floor (where your driveway meets, for example). Asbestos cement is more prone to chipping and fracture along the edges than regular cement.
- 3). Pick a discreet part of your garage floor and use a hammer and chisel to chip out a small piece of cement. Go to a well-lit area and look at the chip through a magnifying glass. If you see an abundance of fibrous material mixed with the concrete, your garage floor contains asbestos cement.
- 4). Test the sample. Take your cement sample to a registered asbestos testing facility if you are unsure. Local laboratories can be found in a telephone directory or an online search.
