Mr. Gonzales replaced my 2 rainbird sprinklers in my garden. He tested them to my satisfaction so the spray range was very accurate. Mr. Gonzales did a great job.

He arrived on time; with all his equipment in good working order. His testing for mold was through and the lab responded quickly. I would have appreciated a bit more explanation of the report I received but the money was well spent.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

Asbestos testing takes place in two stages—collection and lab testing. Collection can take less than 20 minutes if a professional manages to get a direct sample. If air samples are required, then the pro will set up a testing device and return to collect it. In both cases, the sample is sent to a lab and results are confirmed or denied usually within one to two days.

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.
