You can look up a lab in your area and take them a sample.  If it was built before '86 it probably has it in there.


I would wet it with a pump sprayer and scrape it off.  Since there isn't anything in the house and you're getting new appliances and carpet I would definitely do it yourself.  Wear some old cloths and a mask and keep it plenty moist to reduce the dust.  Make sure you throw out the clothes and clean up when you're done.  I know it's bad stuff, but something about the whole deal doesn't smell kosher.  Someone is getting rich cleaning this stuff up and arguing in the court room.  So much money involved it just smells a little.  I can see people that have worked around it day in and day out for years getting sick from it, but if you take a few precautions to protect yourself, I don't think it is going to kill you because you looked at it funny.
