​

Office hours are 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM. If we are out of office, the 24-hour sample drop off box is located outside of our main door.

​

Flooring samples: We recommend submitting multiple layers if and when possible (glue, adhesive, other flooring types if present).

​

Plaster samples: Plaster was typically mixed on-site, often resulting in non-homogeneous asbestos distribution. As such, samples taken in close proximity may yield differing asbestos content. We recommend submitting larger samples of plaster OR multiple samples from the same wall/ceiling.

​

Drywall samples: Asbestos is typically found in the joint compound layer rather than the drywall board itself. We recommend taking samples from corner beads OR where the wall and ceiling meet.

​

Vermiculite samples: Collect the material from the bottom layer of the insulation (closest to the ceiling below), as contamination tends to settle there. Minimum sample size is 1 cup.
