"Great service and very knowledgeable. Provided us with input and talked about options we could consider based on different outcomes. I particularly liked that less-invasive options were considered when gathering test samples so that we didn't have holes in our walls while planning for next steps. I would definitely contact Enviocore if we ever have another water issue arise."

"I recently had my basement remodeled and we discovered asbestos in the drywall that needed to be removed. I called Clean Sweep and a few other contractors for quotes. Matt at Clean Sweep was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions I had regarding the process. He walked me through step by step and gave me and my wife confidence that the job would be done professionally and safely. Matt's team took care of the job ahead of schedule and we were able to complete our remodel in a timely manner. He was also able to recommend some contractors to help with some of the electrical work I needed done. 10/10 experience. I would highly recommend."

"I was especially impressed with the team at Altura. Manny did an excellent job at defining scope and setting expectations upfront. They were very professional and went the extra mile to ensure the project went well logistically. The project was managed with excellence and communication. Even when there a small amount of accidental damage, Altura, made sure to make it right. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a contractor and would highly recommend them to anyone."

"Excellent, Fast, Fair, Friendly company, cannot recommend highly enough. It was a very stressful time for us dealing with massive water damage. Edge returned my call within 5 minutes, was out to our place the same day, and gave a very fair quote for the job way better than companies that were trying to take advantage of our stressful situation. We scheduled the work right away, and they did a fantastic job on time, cleaned up after, highly professional. Do not hire anyone else you would only regret it!"

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

You are not really supposed to seal asbestos with paint, but in theory it could work—the caveat being that this is extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. The only real way to seal asbestos is with the professional application of an encapsulating material like epoxy. Due to the negative effect asbestos can have on your home, however, it is usually the best course of action to accept a costly fix and remove the material entirely.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

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.

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.
