Excellent service at very reasonable prices. Dropped off my sample and received the lab results via email the next day (negative). Highly recommend
Awesome place to get your samples tested for asbestos quick turn around as well highly recommended.
Sent 2 samples to WAL for asbestos testing and received results on the same day the sample arrived. Highly recommend for fast, professional service.
We recently decided to pull down the rest of our ceiling tiles and had already had them tested by this company. Unfortunately for us after 12 years, we couldn't find the test results document and were in a panic. I called the company, explained the situation, and they emailed me the document right away. 5 stars for excellent customer service and great prices.
Have used Western Analytical Laboratory for a few samples to test for asbestos. Always a quick result turn around, reasonable pricing for tests and courteous professional response to any questions.
I've used this place twice over the last couple years for asbestos testing. Both times have come up negative, but you can't put a price on peace of mind. With their walk-in friendly accessibility and their super affordable pricing, combined with their same-day results, there's no reason not to get your sample tested. Great service.
We always take out samples here before we start any new projects, I like using them because the turnaround is very fast and accurate
Extremely great lab, disturbed a ceiling tile when doing a smoke detector and was unsure if it had asbestos in it. Took a sample from a spare tile and sent it off to the lab, they recieved it this morning (7/7/22 and had the results to me by 5pm cst). I'd highly recommend them to anyone that needs to get anything tested for asbestos, the price is extremely reasonable and they give a good breakdown of results. Thanks to the team at the lab!
I've used this company twice to test samples of popcorn ceilings. Both times I got my results quickly. Next time I'm checking for asbestos I'm going to use them again. Thank you Mike!
