"My experience was great with this company until today. They came out at the end of September, messages I have is September 25th, but not 100% sure on the actual date they came out and completed demo. Long story short, we had a bad experience with our insurance adjuster at our insurance company. Keep in mind, that I had kept Grant informed every step of the way of this process. The lady that was helping us was either fired or quit, which delayed our claim being approved. We waited a couple of weeks, trying to get in touch with our adjuster to see what was going on. We were finally assigned a new adjuster. I had to send her everything as she didn't have any of the documents/pictures/information on the claim. I let Grant know that we were assigned a new claims adjuster and that they stated it was approved. The insurance company just had to wait for them to sign off. This was Thursday, November 7th. Yesterday, November 12th, I was able to finally sign the docs with the insurance company. They stated we would have the check 5-7 business days. Again, I let Grant know via text of all this communication. Today, he called me and was extremely aggressive on the phone. Stating that I am past due 30 days and that I need to pay him immediately. Stated there is interest on my invoice that I need to pay. I wasn't aware that I would be charged interest, or I would have paid Rapid Dry a long time ago. The way he spoke to me on the phone would bring the negative side out of anyone that he talked to this way. He stated that he was extremely busy and that he had taken over 2K phone calls and didn't know if he had talked to me or not. My issue is that I have been communicating with him this entire time that we were having issues with our insurance company, and he didn't say anything about the invoice accumulating interest. I have text messages showing that I have been keeping him updated on the status of the claim. I will never use his company again nor will I EVER refer them to anyone. Not because of the work that they did, because this was good, but merely due to how he spoke to me and how aggressive he was on the phone when he just called me. Grant literally was screaming at me. After 10 minutes of a phone call with someone yelling at you and being aggressive, I think about anyone would react to this. I am extremely taken back at the way he handled himself and represented the company in the way he called me and how aggressive he was."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

if you install new siding on top of old asbestos siding, you may keep the fibers trapped, but it would not necessarily be considered encapsulation. To do so properly requires a professional, who uses a certain type of sealant that needs to be spread over the asbestos in a number of layers in order to trap all the fibers. Although you may be able to buy this sealant yourself, it is highly advised that, once you find asbestos, you call a pro immediately. 

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.

Ensures comprehensive removal and adherence to safety regulations, protecting health.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof.
