They were deceiving about their pricing. Stated that it would be $100 for a test, when it was $1500 and every time they found a leak, it cost me more money. They just giving me a running total. Very deceiving.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

Unfortunately, home inspections do not check for asbestos because of the liability factor involved. That’s why you should hire a trained professional with specialized equipment to test for it.

They will inspect all areas of the home and take samples of various materials to test. Opting for an asbestos inspection can prevent the risk of exposure to this hazardous material and save on costly repairs that may be required.

DIY kits are available, but professional testing ensures accurate results and compliance with regulations.

If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn how to clean asbestos safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.
