No scare tactics.

Just honest answers.

Take the Sample(s)

• Shut down any heating or cooling systems to minimize the spread of any released fibers.
• Do not disturb the material any more than is needed to take a small sample.
• Wet the material using a fine mist of water containing a few drops of detergent before taking the sample. The water/detergent mist will reduce the possibility of releasing asbestos fibers.
• Carefully cut/scrape a piece from the entire depth of the material using, for example, a small knife, chisel, or other sharp object.
• Cut/scrape only a small piece of the material.
  All materials can be grouped into two categories: friable, i.e. the material can be crushed into powder by hand (e.g., Acoustic ceiling spray), and nonfriable (e.g., Floor tile, Siding). These amounts are adequate for testing:

• Place the small piece into the bags provided.
• Use a damp paper towel to clean up any material on the outside of the container or around the area sampled.
• Label the container with an ID number (for example, Sample #A)
  Label A, B, C etc... and complete the form showing the same letter with a description - for example: Kitchen flooring
  (Tightly seal the container after the sample is in it.
• Fill Out Form: Name - Address - Sample label and description.
• Place samples and the Chain of Custody form into the mailing envelope provided and ship it. 🙂 You may want to get tracking so you know when it arrives.

Special Notes

• For acoustic ceiling (popcorn ceiling) material, three samples from different locations are strongly recommended if it covers more than 1,000 sq. ft (IF they look to be the same pattern, then this isn't necessary)
• For vermiculite insulation, (a rocky, stony material) collect at least one cup size sample. Take a sample from the attic floor or the bottom part of the wall cavity. Testing at least two samples from different spots in the attic is recommended.
• Do not send Dust or Soil/Dirt samples.  These cannot be accurately analyzed by Polarized Light Microscope (PLM).  Dust samples require analysis by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), which we currently do not provide.(IF you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me. Trey @ MisterAsbestos.com)
• We will notify you of the results by email within 48 hours of the time the lab receives it.

Please Give Us a Review

We are the new kid on the block, and we need those reviews. They will help a lot. The main reason I started these kits is that I saw reviews from others saying they weren't delivering, or that their turnaround time for getting results back was WAY too slow, and I knew we could do better.

** IF there is a problem, please email me, and I will make it right. Trey @ MisterAsbestos.com - or text me (706) 540 5334
Thanks in advance, Trey
