James and Rhonda are hard workers. James noticed the floor wasn’t level and did the extra work to get the floor down. There were a few issues with the planks coming up but James had a fix for that. Hopefully they stay correct. Overall a good experience, would recommend.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If you suspect exposure to asbestos, prioritize seeking medical advice by informing your healthcare provider about the potential exposure with clear details about the circumstances that led to the exposure. Regular health check-ups and screenings if you work in high-risk industries or live in a home with asbestos are essential for early detection of any asbestos-related conditions. You should also consider consulting occupational health experts or legal professionals for guidance on potential next steps and preventive measures.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.

Asbestos testing is conducted by collecting samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos and analyzing them in laboratories for confirmed presence.
