Asbestos Test Kit 1 PK (1 Bus. Day) Schneider Labs

I couldn't have asked for a better experience! This testing kit was top notch and a fraction of the price of local testing companies... and more reliable, quicker, and only slightly more expensive than the testing kits sold on homedepot's website.When we bought a house, my husband insisted on having the popcorn ceilings tested and scraped. He saw the kit on Home Depot's website and thought he'd go that route. But also he asked I contact a local company to get prices and turn around time. When I did so, the local company wanted to charge $280, and would be there in a couple days and return results within 24hr. My husband did not like this. So he decided to go with the Home Depot test. Well, problem is the Home Depot test isn't actually sold in stores. You have to pay for it to be shipped to you, or wait for it to be shipped to a local store. Then you have to pay for return shipping. And then you wait a week... or two... or three or four... or never get results at all (according to reviews on there). Thinking there had to be a better way, I came to Amazon to look for a kit.Amazon didn't disappoint. They had this asbestos testing kit in 1day results or 5day results. We opted to pay the extra for the 1day. I got the kit in two days via Amazon prime shipping. I signed up the kit on the company's website per the instructions provided in the kit. I got the provided mask and gloves on, I found a pair of safety glasses, a spray bottle, and a sharp blade and scraping tool. I sprayed a section of the ceiling with water, and let it sit for a 30minutes. And then I scraped/cut out a 1"X1" sample of the popcorn ceiling I wanted tested. I put the sample in the provided bag, box, and prepaid priority envelope. I sent the sample on Friday afternoon.By Monday afternoon I saw the results of the asbestos testing on their website...no asbestos. That's great news! But more importantly, I was happy and impressed with their easy to use kit and their quick turnaround. Thank you, Schneider labs!

I wanted to remove my popcorn ceilings, but I needed to know if I could tackle this project safely myself. I was hoping I didn't have to hire a specialized company to do the job, since this would be a very expensive undertaking. I decided tolook for a do-it-yourself test kit, and after looking at various kits, I ultimately decided on this one, mainly because it included a postage-paid return label. I wanted something I could just put out in the mailbox and not have to go to the post office.The kit was simple to use with easy to follow instructions. I received the results on the promised day and was happy to learn my ceilings are asbestos free and I can safely do the removal myself.

This is a neat little kit for testing materials in your home for Asbestos.Instructions are simple, but clear and all the necessary items you'll need (excluding tools to take samples) are included within the box.- Sample Bag- Gloves- Shipping label- Instructions (read these carefully)Make sure to take clear notes from your online account set-up so that you can include that within package when you post it. Also, follow their recommendations for taking a sample - they list what size you should try to provide and what sample types they CANNOT test.I received confirmation once the package was received (via email) and then again (4 days later) when the testing results were available.All in all, this kit is a fair deal for DIY testing. It delivers as advertised. Still, if you are doing a larger project with multiple material samples, I would still recommend contracting a professionally certified environmental consultant to take your samples and facilitate the testing.

The kit instructions were easy to follow. Using the website with the kit was easy and I had to pay a little extra for a second sample that I sent, but honestly, super easy to add a sample and sent it in the same box.I got the results really quickly, and good news, no asbestos in my 100 year old house!!!

The process was simple and affordable. I am satisfied with my positive results and now I know how to proceed. Worth the piece of mind in my opinion.

Schneider / SLGi was true to their word. No extra fees (including shipping). Easy-to-use portal. Email updates along the way. Got the results in 4 business days from their receipt of sample (9 days after mailing). Emailed me that the results were in, and able to check in the portal.This was for loose fill insulation in our attic, which can apparently contain asbestos. I went up there for the first time recently and noticed our bathroom fan/heater vents out onto the floor of the attic. I was concerned that we could have been breathing in asbestos for ~10 years.I actually bought 3 different tests -- 1 each from different companies. Fortunately all 3 tests came back negative for asbestos. The consensus seems to be fiberglass. Not great, but not terrible. So I can vouch for this product as it was comparable to the other two companies in terms of results. I like that they all broke down the type of material and percentage of each. Very precise! And includes the name of the analyst.The hardest part of the whole process was gearing up to gather samples. I probably went to extremes, going to the hardware store and buying a respirator mask, goggles, coveralls and a dropcloth, adding a haircap, gloves and my rain boots LOL. It took me an hour+ just to get ready to collect!

Easy to use and results were clear. Results were delayed maybe a day later than expected. Used to detect asbestos in popcorn ceiling.

You register and open an account. Then take a sample and mail it to the company. They send you the results, or once the results are available you can see the outcome online. It took about 7-10 days to receive the answer which is a little longer than stated. But there was a federal holiday when our package was mailed.
