This is a hard working family owned business. Dave and his son worked for nearly two days and left everything in great shape. Instead of charging me for a follow up test kit (one company wanted $200 to do a test), Dave left me a free testing kit! Really great experience!

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

Costs depend on the number of samples, property size, and lab processing fees.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Although the use of asbestos has declined since the 1980s, it remains in several different types of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Typically, asbestos can be found in materials such as ceiling and floor tiles, heat-resistant fabrics and coatings, and roof shingles. You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.
