They did a nice job. I am only concerned about the pressure test, performed at very low pressure 0.5 PSI but recommended was 5 PSI. I may end ask someone to re-do the pressure test before I hookup the gas tank.

Percolation Tests FAQs, answered by experts

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.
