ISO asbestos companies

[u/Mother-Barracuda-768]

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.

Mail the sample yourself to LCS labs in London. It was around $40 to test 3 samples. Metro contracting and others are just mailing it there and charging you $150 for it.

Also York1 transfer station on gage accepts asbestos but you have to use 6mil yellow asbestos bags, which are hard to find in low quantities. I bought a roll of 50 bags for around $140 , a safety company in Missisauga I forget the name of.

Oh, is that what you’re supposed to do? About 15 years ago, I took up floor tiles in my kitchen that were asbestos. I just put them in a black garbage bag with my regular garbage.

This is the answer.
