Do it yourself and save with our complete asbestos testing kit for vermiculite insulation!

HOW CAN YOU MINIMIZE THE RISKS?

All homeowners whose homes are insulated with a vermiculite insulation should have a lab analysis of a sample of that insulation for asbestos. If you fear having or have a problem of vermiculite containing asbestos, there are some precautions you can take: :

Don’t let children play in the attic
Inform anyone who needs to access the attic to work
Don’t store anything in the attic if there is any risk related to asbestos
If you have to go in the attic, wear a suitable mask
NEVER remove insulation containing asbestos yourself
Seal any openings between the attic and the living areas
With asbestos fibers in vermiculite insulation, do not take any chances!
