"These guys are fantastic, real lifesavers that care about the little people. They are good at speedy correspondence, treating their clients with respect, sending appropriate paperwork in a timely manner, and explaining the procedures. Mr. Burks knows about asbestos abatement and how to carry it out according to the protocol required by state law. In Arkansas, state law requires you to have a third party to measure and approve the air quality when removing asbestos. Sure enough, a third party EPA employee arrived in his own vehicle and watched the process from start (prepping the house to secure it from escaping hazardous dust) to finish (measuring the final air quality for approval). Airtecs Environmental then bags everything to be taken to a special hazardous waste site. So it is from cradle to grave. The whole process is documented in paper work and that is peace of mind. Mr. Burks’ team were good natured and hardworking. In addition to the ceiling the team removed the shag carpet and foam as I was looking to remove it. They saved me so much time and backbreaking work! And as for the house well, I cannot express how amazing the air quality is! If you are still unsure read the long of it below and save yourself the time. I wanted to remove an Asbestos ceiling that was showing signs of damage due to shifting foundation. Between the ceiling and the old shag carpet I was concerned about my father’s air quality. Initially I was going to remove the acoustic ceiling myself, but after researching about this hazardous material it became clear that removing Asbestos responsibly was the best way to guarantee a safe space in the future. Now, it is strangely difficult to find a good Abatement team, considering how many houses must have this issue. Calling Airtecs Environmental, I was impressed with how easy they were to contact and quick in respond to my requests. Based my research about asbestos abatement procedures and the Arkansas State laws, it was clear that Mr. Burks was really knowledgeable with hands on experience. Because my father is retired and has a small budget, I called other companies to get a few quotes based on our square footage. Here is what we encountered. There were cowboy removal services, with prices that seemed too good to be true. Well yeah, they were basically offering a regular popcorn removal, avoiding paperwork, with no guarantees for air quality, and making the client dispose of the hazardous materials themselves! If you go that route, you might as well do it yourself and pay nothing. On the opposite end of the spectrum…I found most companies were completely uninterested in small homes! To illustrate this they would take days to respond to emails, and explain that they mostly work on industrial sized projects and in turn their quotes reflected industrial sized robbery. There is simply nobody else in the state willing to take on residential homes following strict procedures at a reasonable rate. I am so glad Mr. Burks and his team, are out there for the average person like me who is trying to do things the right way! Good Peoples! Thank you, thank you!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Minor cleaning and maintenance are DIY-friendly, but professionals should handle structural or electrical repairs.

You can research your fireplace insert or retrofit by checking out the EPA wood stove database. The database includes information, such as a model's emission rate, efficiency, and carbon dioxide output.

In most cases, you should not put a TV on a fireplace mantel. The minimum width required to put a TV safely on a shelf or mantel is 10 inches, but pre-made mantels are usually too shallow, averaging at only seven inches deep. If you do choose to place a TV above a mantel, it should be mounted to the wall. However, do so cautiously as heat radiating from the fireplace could potentially cause damage to electronics.

Wood is classified as either hardwood or softwood. For firewood, hardwoods are generally the best choice as they tend to burn longer, hotter, and produce less smoke than softwoods. Recommended hardwoods include oak, hickory, maple, cherry, ash, beech, birch, elm, and walnut. Oak is a particularly good option as it's widely available, slow-burning, and doesn't produce much smoke or sparks. Some woods, like oak, hickory, and cherry, also emit a pleasant scent. It is best to avoid softwoods such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, as they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes them difficult to light and burn efficiently.

How you stop your fireplace from smoking depends on the cause. Sometimes it’s as simple as opening the damper. Other times, you need to battle air pressure. The best course of action is to ensure proper ventilation, whether that means opening a door or a window; avoid building a large fire, which produces more smoke; and use seasoned hardwoods, which produce less smoke than other types of wood. If the issue persists, call a pro ASAP.
