Well, it ended up fine, but there was a rough start. Radon testing has become a way for Real Estate Agents to get a better price on a home, so they try to get involved and influence the tester. Initially, the test was ran in the home in the 'living space', which is what the EPA directs....

Jesse techs arrived on time and immediately got to work in our small cramped attic. They performed all the sealing and caulking and routed the bathroom exhaust fans through the roof. Then they blew in the new insulation. Rather than routing their equipment through the house to reach the attic...

Kevin first came in and did the energy audit with the blower door test. I knew I had some issues with insulation in certain areas, but I was pretty shocked to see all the exposed areas in my newer (2007) house. Kevin did a great job of explaining how some builders cut corners and what is worth...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

Epoxying over asbestos tiles is generally considered a safe option when done correctly. Epoxy acts as a sealant, encapsulating the asbestos tiles and preventing the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The key is ensuring that the asbestos tiles are in good condition, firmly adhered to the substrate, and not damaged or deteriorating. This method is only appropriate for tiles that are undamaged and securely in place. If the asbestos tiles are already loose, damaged, or deteriorating, encapsulating them with epoxy may not be a sufficient solution, as it might not address the potential for ongoing asbestos exposure.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

Acoustic ceiling tiles
Furnace insulation
Home appliances
Fire-retardant clothing
Cement pipe
Pipe insulation
Wall and ceiling insulation
Vehicle brake pads
Vinyl flooring
Sprayed acoustic ceilings
Stove insulation
Patching compounds
Textured paints
Roofing shingles
Siding

Knob and tube wiring is an older type of electrical wiring that's no longer used and generally not considered safe. However, some homes still have it, or may have a knob and tube wiring system that was incorrectly modified or rigged to work with a modern electrical system. Knob and tube wiring may contain asbestos insulation, but the only way to know is to have the material professionally tested.

Professional testing is advisable to ensure safety regulations are met, and accurate results are obtained using certified methods.
