Pile of possible asbestos in the attic
Hi, I had an inspection on a home I'm interested in buying and the inspector spotted a pile of Vermiculite insulation, which could obtain asbestos (it looks like a big pile of kitty litter in one corner of the attic). There's no way to tell for sure if it contains asbestos or not, unless I have it tested.
The broker says to just keep it there, not touch it. I'm concerned I'll have this same problem when I go to sell the house some day, and the buyer may want it removed. Anyone have any experience with this and any thoughts? The seller wants to close asap and getting this tested would delay the process, and I'm not sure they'll agree to having it tested. House was built in 1952.
