I recently had the pleasure of working with Anthony Fiore at Environmental Testing Agency, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. As soon as he learned about my severe mold problem, he came over that day, despite very short notice and it being the end of the work day. His kindness...

Very Well. Being somewhat electrical inclined, installing a timer was going to be left to the professionals. Steve and his assistant did a quick job in installing the timer, testing it and cleaning up afterwards. Wouldn't hesitate to hire S.F. Automation again.

The technician immediately identified the problem as a clogged roof vent. He climbed onto the roof and cleared the vent. He tested the dryer to ensure that the vent had cleared. He worked cleanly and efficiently. He didn't do anything extraneous.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

If you suspect exposure to asbestos, prioritize seeking medical advice by informing your healthcare provider about the potential exposure with clear details about the circumstances that led to the exposure. Regular health check-ups and screenings if you work in high-risk industries or live in a home with asbestos are essential for early detection of any asbestos-related conditions. You should also consider consulting occupational health experts or legal professionals for guidance on potential next steps and preventive measures.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.
