Q: Can you cover asbestos tile with carpet?

• <div><p>While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks.

Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.</p></div>

Q: How much does asbestos testing cost?

• <div><p>The cost for asbestos testing typically ranges from $400 to $800. The final price depends on several factors, including the number of samples needed, the size and age of the property, and the professional's expertise required for comprehensive testing. Larger or older properties may have higher costs.</p></div>

Q: What should you do if you touch asbestos?

• <div><p>If you think you&rsquo;ve touched asbestos, do not put on a mask. This is important because you may take the asbestos fibers on your hands on trap them in the mask. Make your way to a sink and wash your hands thoroughly. Remove any clothes and seal them in a bag, then take a shower. Call your doctor and let them know you&rsquo;ve been exposed to asbestos, and make sure you see them as soon as possible. The reason you keep the clothes is in case anyone wants to confirm the presence of asbestos.</p></div>

Q: Do installations include testing?

Curtis spent a lot of time with me going over my options, the different materials, and cost comparisons. DHT also completed removal of old gutters and installation of new gutters for me as well. All of the work looks great and the warranty is great for peace of mind.
