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.

It went great. I didn't really pick them exactly myself, it was more the agent. I paid for them, but our real estate agent actually set us up with them. I met them on the site briefly when they were doing the testing and then I got a report. They were on time and very professional.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

Testing is crucial to identify harmful asbestos fibers common in building materials from older properties, ensuring safe environments and health.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed.
