The gentlemen that came out to test our home for mold was professional, courteous, and informative. He explained the testing process thoroughly. We received the results from the testing in the mail and no one followed up to explain the report. Overall the report showed positive results, but...

If it were possible, Chowning would be given negative stars. We hired them to do an inspection for fuel lines (gas/hvac) for a home we were going to buy. We had a house inspector in at the same time, so I wasn't watching the Chowning worker do his inspection, but then again, I shouldn't need to...

The experience was fantastic. It was a young guy and he was very professional. He always recommends that you do a test first. He was upfront if it isn't a really big deal and he gave me a name for an inspection. Dan is the owner and he is a good guy. I've never found anybody that did a good job...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Hiring a professional for mold and toxic material testing ensures precise identification of harmful substances within a home. Professionals utilize specialized equipment and techniques, providing accurate results that inform proper removal strategies, safeguarding occupant health.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

Amount of exposure
Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers
Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos
Genetic factors
Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

Asbestos testing is conducted by collecting samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos and analyzing them in laboratories for confirmed presence.
