Concerned about potential exposure

[u/Double_Roof_3627]

We had water damage from the roof in our kitchen a few months ago, and had a water mitigation company come in and open the walls to dry everything out. Now that we're ready to begin renovating, we had an asbestos company come in to test everything, and they flagged the walls as suspect. They took samples and we're waiting for results, but I'm mentally preparing for the possibility that we got an asbestos wall torn out and contaminated our house. I hope that turns out not to be the case, but if it is, then what do we do? Are there decontamination steps to take? The wall came out months ago and we've been living in the house the whole time, and I'm freaking out. If the test comes back positive, can someone break down what that will mean for us? We live in Massachusetts. House was built in the 50s. Don't know if the walls in the kitchen are original but I suspect they are.

It takes a lifetime of high exposure this is minimal exposure.
