Vermiculite attic insulation — primarily sold as Zonolite — was installed in millions of homes through the 1990s. An estimated 70% came from an asbestos-contaminated mine in Libby, Montana. If your Grand Rapids home has vermiculite in the attic, it should be treated as containing asbestos until proven otherwise. US Asbestos Contracting provides licensed vermiculite removal throughout Grand Rapids and Kent County.
