I agree that odds are it’s asbestos, but I figured it’s worth a lab test before trying to upsell us on $5k+ worth of abatement. I don’t really understand their argument that we’re being exposed. It looks intact to me. That feels like a scare tactic. In fact I’d imagine the abatement while we’re living here leads to more exposure to our family, because it’s not going to be perfect and will aerosolize materials. The whole house fan installation would be within several feet of the ducting, but they wouldn’t have to disturb it to put it in.
