"Hired Weber group to do asbestos inspection. Very friendly and took time to explain process of testing and remediation. Luckily we didnâ t have asbestos but I would recommend Weber Group to others that might need removal."

"Rogelio and the team were excellent and very professional. They were able to make it out in one day and complete the asbestos removal within a few hours. Every step of the process was explained to me first and I was given a chance to safely check on the progress along the way. Cost was very reasonable."

Went great.  Dominic was fantastic in explaining everything to me during the inspection.  And, all the workers who came to set up all the equipment and remove the drywall were very understanding of the situation with my son (who has special needs) and the fans/dehumidifiers that had to be set up - there had to be plenty of room to move around so they were careful to leave the plastic containment areas (with the machines in them) with enough space for my son to be able to maneuver, and for me to get to the back door to still be able to let the dog out into the back yard!  The workers accidentally picked up my son's jacket when they left (he threw it down on the floor as he went into a seizure from being overwhelmed with all the noise from the machines), but they made sure it was returned when they came back to turn off all the machines and remove the equipment.  Adam and the crew were great!

"We have worked with Van Der Bosch for three or four years now, and they have been beyond fantastic.
We lived in a garden (basement) unit condo that had some severe plumbing issues. Now, all garden units have water issues - that's just the nature of the beast of living underground. But our unit had some particularly bad problems: The common piping for the toilets was old and not installed to handle a below-grade unit, so several times during huge rainstorms, sewage from the other people in our condo backed up through our tub. We had VDB come out multiple times for this issue.
The reason why it took and quot;multiple timesand quot; had nothing to do with shoddy craftsmanship on the part of VDB. Since the problem was in the common pipes, it was an issue for the condo association. The association understandably chose to do some lower cost fixes the first couple times around, but eventually opted for the full pipe replacement when they realized that this was going to continue being an issue.
Throughout the process, VDB advocated for us to the condo board, and I think it was their advocacy that eventually led to the association eventually chosing the big-ticket long-term fix. Now that might make you think they push the more expensive stuff for their own benefit. But that's not the case at all - more than once, they urged us NOT to have some expensive work done that they didn't think would actually lead to a long-term benefit for us. (Not to mention they made several visits for free when dealing with minor things.) This honesty was one of the biggest things that we appreciated about them, and we really felt that we could trust them 100%.
That eventual big fix was that they had to rip up our floor to get to and replace a big pipe. This was a multi-day job that left us unable to use that particular room in our house. Not only did they get this done in what seemed to us like a pretty short amount of time, but they left the floor looking like nothing had ever happened to it. After they did this, we never had the sewage problem ever again.
Also, the plumbers that came to our unit were the nicest guys in the world. I don't know if it's company policy that the service workers be so polite, but I think every time someone came over, they called us and quot;ma'amand quot; and and quot;sir.and quot;
Anyways, these guys are great. I give them my absolutely highest recommendation, and am really sad that we can't take them with us to West Virginia when we move.
NOTE ON THE COST OF SERVICE: I don't remember any of the costs involved, since this happened over a period of three years. Angie's List converted my and quot;??and quot; into a 0.00.

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

If the lead paint is in a place that is not easily disturbed and is not flaking or deteriorating, you do not necessarily need to remove it. Lead is toxic when dust particles or flakes from peeling lead paint are ingested. If people are not in the area with the lead paint, it may be safe to leave it in place. You still may want to consider encapsulation with a paint formulated for covering lead-based paint, just for an added layer of protection.

According to the EPA, there is no safe level of lead in the blood, and so the maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) for lead in water is zero. Even at low levels, lead is harmful to human health. It can also remain in the body and build up over time with repeated exposure.

DIY lead testing kits are available, but they often lack the accuracy and reliability of professional services. Professional testing is recommended for more accurate results, as properly certified testers can provide a thorough analysis, clear recommendations, and the necessary legal documentation if remediation is required.

Lead exposure poses serious health risks, particularly for children, and can be present in paint, pipes, and soil.

Hazardous waste is waste that poses a threat to human or environmental health. This generally refers to waste that is flammable, corrosive, toxic, or reactive. To confirm if the waste you need to remove is considered hazardous waste, contact your local hazardous waste facility.
