Massachusetts Testing Reimbursement Program
Program Overview
First, a visual inspection should be done by a qualified person and findings should be memorialized in a report. If the inspection concludes that there is no evidence of pyrrhotite damage, nothing further is required. Continued cracking should be monitored since pyrrhotite damage may take years to become evident.
Next, if a visual inspection is inconclusive or the inspection reports evidence of pyrrhotite damage, a core sample should be taken and tested for more definite results
