"Max and his team were kind, courteous, and got the job done quickly and cleanly. Pricing was very fair and we are so thankful that they serve the central Illinois area, as we don’t have many local companies for asbestos removal."

"I was refereed to this company through my home owners insurance.  I paid him on the 7th with a 2500.00 check as a deposit.  on the 13th after he had repeatedly been over he kept on "forgetting" to bring the contract. I drew one up on my legal pad and had him sign it so I do have an agreement.  In the contract was removal and haul away of debris and old shower stall, mold treatment, application of Dry Lock on walls, Instillation of new larger sump pump and tank, and instillation of new drain around the edge of the basement all to be completed on or before July 15, 2011.

The mold treatment and application of dry lock went well.  Now every time the new sump pump kicks on water shoots out of the bathroom sink upstairs.  When the workers started to install the new drain in the basement floor they could not saw through the concrete.  They even tried to use a jack hammer in one corner.  Now there is worse leakage where they were able to score the floor and the corner where they jack hammered has a constant puddle. 

He informed us that they could not install the drain in the basement and could not fix the issue with the sump pump.  The job was "completed" on the 19th. I asked for Mr. Fowler to pay to have a plumber install a working drain and fix the sump pump.  He told me he could not but he could refund me $300.00 of what I had already paid. 

The only reason that we were going to have the drain installed was because he told us the mold would just keep on comping back, and that he would be able to do the total job.  The job is not completed, there is debris in the front yard, and the cleanup in the basement was incomplete.

I feel that because we are elderly we have been taken advantage of and we do not want others to go through the same experience.  I feel frustrated with myself for not thoroughly researching this company before the work was started.

He did just recently come by my home and refunded $1000 of the $2500 that I paid him initially.  I appreciate the attempt on his part to make a settlement for the work."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

Asbestos-containing materials, like duct wrap, should be encapsulated using a sealant specifically formulated for asbestos. These sealants work to bind with asbestos fibers and help further neutralize them as a health risk. Whenever you’re working near asbestos-containing materials, be sure to keep safety as a top priority and wear a P-100-rated respirator as well as protective clothing.

You can cover asbestos siding with another type of siding, such as vinyl, however, this may not be the best option. Covering the asbestos siding may disturb it, releasing fibers into the air. The covered siding can also be disturbed at a later date, such as by a new homeowner who is unaware of its presence.

If you decide to cover the siding, be sure to work with a professional and follow any local building codes and requirements. It may be the case that removing the asbestos siding is the better option, rather than covering it over. 

If the tiles are undamaged and in good condition, painting can be a safe method of encapsulating them, but it is important first to evaluate the state of the tiles before proceeding. If the tiles are deteriorating, damaged, or already loose, simply painting over them fails to address the underlying issues that can cause asbestos exposure. It is recommended to consult asbestos abatement experts in such situations to identify the best way to safely manage or remove the asbestos-containing materials. During the painting process, it is crucial to adhere to safety regulations and guidelines to reduce the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure.

Yes. Gutting a house to the studs may actually be a good option if you believe a home contains toxic materials like asbestos, mold, or lead paint. However, this must be done under the supervision of licensed remediation experts.
