Very prompt service, helped us get the asbestos test done in a day and next day they were able to come and clean up the whole bedroom and hallway. They also arranged for post clean-up testing by an independent tester. Very happy with the service.

I called to see how quickly someone could come out and test my floor tiles for asbestos, so I can get rip carpet out and get new. "45 minutes" was the answer. Kevin was there in 45 minutes. I will get the test results tomorrow. Fingers crossed there will be no asbestos.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.
