Though listed as such via the website service here on Angie's List the company in question does not do removal or remediation of asbestos. They only test. A bit misleading, but I do not blame the company.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity.

This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.
