They let me know the home remediation company was doing it wrong and the house smells bad, yet they rigged the test. Not hippo but the company that the owner hired.

William patiently answered my many questions. He is knowledgeable and accommodating. He turned the report around the next day as he said he would. William was acessible via phone, was on time and professional. I recommend him and his company for a painless and quick asbestos testing process.

Nick and Alvino were professional and seemed well experienced. They undertook the task of replacing my sump pump promptly and cleanly. They tested it and double checked all piping. I'd have no qualms about calling them back on any future plumbing jobs.

I appreciate their time spent explaining how to perform the test (2 ways) myself and what would follow if my pool was leaking. This way, I don't spend $300 to come out to detect where the leak is if I don't have one. Thanks Leakfinders! <br />

They were really professional. They came in and out. They did a good job. They were slow in getting us the results back but I don't know if that was because of their testing procedures or whatever but that was the only problem I had with them. They were hard to get information from disclaimer...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

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

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.

If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you’ll want to call in an asbestos removal expert to evaluate the situation.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.
