 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very disappointed with how 5 micron left my walls and building agree inspection
Usually a company would take carpet up in the corner of the room they did it right in the middle 47 cuts and slashes
Gave them a chance to make repairs - they refused
Be careful when using them and always have someone who knows what they are doing onsite
Refused to fix any of it
Costing me thousands- they said the building was going to be completely renovated - reason for sloppy job but I never told them that

General inspector and real estate agent very impressed as well.  Can't go wrong with these guys.  Bit expensive but you get what you pay for here.

I had some concerns for mold in my office after gone through some water damage a year back, and I contacted 5 microns, and they came in the following day and ran all the necessary tests. A couple days later they emailed my results with the breakdown of everything I needed to know and how to take care of my concerns! Pascal was also very professional! Highly recommend!

Asbestos testing helps homeowners, contractors, property managers, real estate professionals, and commercial property owners determine whether suspected building materials contain asbestos.

Many older homes and buildings throughout Seattle contain materials that may require laboratory analysis before renovation, demolition, repair, or disposal.

5 Microns provides professional asbestos testing services for clients throughout Seattle and King County, including convenient mail-in and local sample drop-off options.

What Is Asbestos Testing?

Asbestos testing involves collecting a representative sample of a suspected building material and submitting it to a qualified laboratory for analysis.

The laboratory examines the material to determine whether asbestos is present and, when applicable, reports the type and percentage identified.

Materials should not be assumed to contain—or not contain—asbestos based only on appearance.

Common Materials Tested for Asbestos

Asbestos may be present in many older construction materials, including:

Popcorn ceiling texture
Vinyl floor tile
Sheet flooring and backing
Flooring adhesive or mastic
Drywall joint compound
Plaster
Ceiling tile
Pipe insulation
Duct insulation
Roofing materials
Siding
Cement board
Textured coatings
Boiler and furnace insulation

Laboratory testing is the reliable way to determine whether a submitted material contains asbestos.

When Should Building Materials Be Tested?

Asbestos testing is commonly requested before:

Remodeling
Demolition
Flooring removal
Ceiling-texture removal
Drywall disturbance
Plumbing or HVAC work
Roofing projects
Property purchases
Insurance repairs
