I would like to find someone that can identify things that a) don't have asbestos and thus don't need to be tested (e.g. kitchen cabinets)b) things that  90%+ likely to have asbestos and thus should be treated as having asbestos (i.e. handle with extreme caution.3) Is there some certification that I can get that states that a home is asbestos free?
