Vermiculite tests are typically conducted by analyzing three samples taken from different areas. Although these samples significantly reduce the risk of asbestos presence, it is important to note that additional samples (for example, a 4th, 5th, or 6th sample) could come back positive.
During a real estate transaction, for insurance companies and financial institutions, three samples are often considered sufficient to assess the probability of asbestos contamination. However, caution is advised, as it is impossible to determine if the vermiculite was installed all at once, if it came from the same batch, or if it is from the same brand.
