Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

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

It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.
