I hired Crossflow Plumbing to install a gas line to my kitchen for a new appliance. Christopher (the owner/operator) was very prompt getting me on his schedule and his estimate was significantly lower than other companies. He did a great job and even came back to hook up the gas when the company...

I was extremely pleased with this company. They were prompt, professional and friendly. They took the time to look through my crawlspace and came back with 2 concerns with pictures and very fair estimate. And didn't pressure or over exaggerate the concerns. Very pleased.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.

Asbestos was commonly used in cloth wiring, but not all types of cloth wiring contain it. The age, condition, and appearance of the wiring can provide clues as to whether asbestos is present or not, but the only way to know for sure if the wiring has asbestos is to have it tested.

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.
