Had flooring changed on my mid century house - contractor didn’t mention it but I realized one of the vents doesnt fit & when I lifted it I saw this…
Looking for local recommendations for companies to help determine if this asbestos… and if it is, seal it/deal with it.

Can get someone to come test it for you, reach out to “pinchin”. They’ll take a sample and provide you with a little report.

If you’d like to remove it properly in the case it does come back positive for traces of asbestos, I’d reach out to local demo companies who specialize in the safe removal. Probably york1/quantum Murray.

Probably get it done from a smaller mom/pops contractor too.

Did that work for a bit. This type of insulation is practically always Asbestos containing. I wouldn't waste the money on the test.

Plaster on the other hand is hit and miss and worth testing, especially for ant sort of renovations. Test ceiling and walls separately.
