I didn't have a good experience. I thought I was paying for them to come out and test for mold. The charge was to come to look at the problem. It cost almost double to perform the test and then half again as much to actually run the test and get the results. Be very careful of your costs before...

Excellent work. He even assisted me with trying to find another type of contractor I needed and took it upon himself to have a filter made for my pump. He will also come back when I am ready to test the water flow of the fountain. Very nice person to deal with and very helpful.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.

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.

Asbestos fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.
