Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Mikkeli
Mikkeli, built on the shore of Lake Saimaa, grew strongly from the 1960s to the 1980s, and houses from those decades often hide asbestos in floor tiles and pipe insulation. Detach a small piece of the suspect material, seal it in a bag and post it to Onelab - we do not send a surveyor out; you handle the sampling yourself in a few minutes.

Asbestos locations in the Mikkeli building stock
The housing stock of Mikkeli consists of 1950s-1980s apartment blocks in the centre, buildings in the garrison area and an extensive stock of detached houses. Asbestos is most typically found in the adhesive under floor tiles, in the substrate of vinyl flooring, in wall fillers and in pipe insulation. Take the sample so that the bonding adhesive comes with it.
After sampling
Do not vacuum or sweep up loosened material - a vacuum cleaner spreads fine dust into the room air. Wipe the spot with a damp cloth and put the cloth in the bin. Cover the opened spot with tape or plastic until the result is known and the demolition method decided.
