Great experience! Mr. Brown went above and beyond! We recently bought a new home with an inground pool so we have a lot to learn! Mr. Brown took the time to walk us through testing the water, chemical use, vacuuming and more. When he left the pool was sparkling!! Thank you!

Got an appointment within 2 days of calling, and the technician did a thorough testing of the house, identifying the areas that are a problem. She also recommended a contractor to do the work. I was very pleased with the experience.

They came out for a mold inspection and said no further testing was needed. They were very helpful. 3.5 stars was due to not calling when they said they would. Had to wait a week and I had to follow up. Didn't like that. But the service, once they came out, was great.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

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.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.
