Forensic Analytical

I am a General Contractor in Santa Barbara CA. I often send them samples and have had a very easy time working with them. Service is prompt and affordable.

I’ve been thinking about getting rid of my popcorn ceilings, and apparently there’s a good chance that popcorn ceilings contain asbestos. So in order to know for sure, I just had to take a sample (a few scrapings in a ziploc bag) and drop it in the mail to Forensic Analytical Labs with the custody form. (and thankfully I didn’t have any trouble with G-​men busting down my door for sending a white, powdery substance in the mail!!)
Anyway, the day after I sent it in the mail, they called me to get some credit card info, and the day after that, I had a pdf report emailed to me telling me that the sample contained 5% asbestos, of the chrysotile variety.
5-​stars because the cost was only $ 50 (equal or less than most competition), the report turn-​around time was faster than all the other quotes I was given (and they delivered on their promise), and the few people I talked to on the phone were all very helpful!

Took some mold and allergen samples to this lab to get tested. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They took the time to explain the results and to answer all of my questions.
Just bought a home in San Francisco that was built in 1900. If I need any more mold or asbestos/​lead paint testing (fingers crossed not), I plan to use this lab. Two thumbs up.

Used these guys once, never again will I make the same mistake. Incompetent technicians showed up late and without the proper paperwork. To top it off they are rude! Went with a competitor and never looked back.
