Vermiculite
Why do a vermiculite test?
Insulation material in your attic or other places can serve as insulation.
Vermiculite may or may not contain the presence of asbestos, through laboratory analysis we can detect it for as little as $350.00.
Vermiculite is an ore that varies in color from silver-gold to gray-brown. It is flat and shiny (flakes) in its natural state.
We find it in houses from the 1950s to around 1980. Vermiculite may have been spread in the attic, but also in wall cavities and false floors.
When there is presence of asbestos you must hire a professional company to remove it since at the time of removal it can create risks to the health of the occupants.
