We are very happy with the service from Micro-Green! While we've not yet received the report, the owner was extremely professional and took time to hear the details of what happened and to talk us through his decision-making about where to test and why in our large basement with many rooms....

Avoid this contractor for epoxy garage flooring. Work was not done in a workmanlike manner and resulted in a garage floor that has 11 areas of bubbling; is unsafe in winter and looks like a failed "do it yourself" project. This review is a retraction of a previous review when the work was...

We use the air test. It was simple to use and quick. We discovered relatively high concentrations of mold in the air of our living room. As a result, we investigated and discovered a leak in the roof and some black mold developing behind the walls. I recommend the service and MoldLab as the...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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
