Brandon is very knowledgeable and is super helpful. He located the source of the mold quickly, and taught me a lot about the how's and why's of mold growth. He did tests and sent samples to the lab. Will have results of mold type within 24 hours, and I'll go from there with remediation.

The testing process was so simple. I'm relieved I was able to get answers so quickly on what was in my air. I will definitely use this again every so often to make sure our home is pollutant-free. If I hadn't found this product, I don't know what I would have done to test my home. Very happy.

Although the day was a holiday (Dr. Martin King), he came on time and took 1 sample of masking tape for asbestos test. He expedited the test and got it done by the next day. He sent us by email a detail report of the test results. He is very professional, friendly, efficient, and on time.

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.

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.

Asbestos itself does not typically leak from a roof. However, if an asbestos-containing roof is damaged or deteriorated, it can release asbestos fibers into the air. This can occur when the roof is disturbed, such as during maintenance or repairs, or due to weathering over time. Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can be harmful to health, so it is important to address any damaged asbestos roofs promptly and safely.

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.

The microscopic asbestos fibers do not cause eye irritation, throat irritation, or lung irritation. If you are inhaling fibers, you will not know it. This lack of immediate symptoms is one of the reasons why asbestos is so dangerous. You cannot know for certain if you are inhaling fibers, which is why you must wear safety gear if you could have any chance of an exposure while working.
