Beware. Grandview will bill you for a backflow test, and say they performed it- but he (the owner scott rickman) rarely actually tests them. He will if he thinks the customer is home or watching...other than that he bills you for it, submits the paperwork to the water companies, but writes...

Very well. However, we are awaiting the results of the test results they left and we sent in. Number is still a little high so they may have to come back out and install another pipe but we won't know until we get the results back. Only complaint would be that they haven't followed up with us....

Not so good. Please see pictures attached. A standard pressure test would have revealed the missed connection but this was not performed prior to walling up the new plumbing connections. Fast forward to April 24th 2016 a slow water leak was discovered on a supply line of the newer plumbing. (< 3...

He came out and tested for mold and went ahead and treated my mold problem free of charge since there wasn't very much to treat. I would highly recommend him. He was very honest, informative and professional.

I was disappointed because I had asked them to do a routine maintenace but all they did was test the system and tell me what I already knew. <br /> I wanted them to lubricate and clean, etc....that's my idea of annual maintenance, since that is what other vendors do. <br /> <br /> <br />

Showed up on time...did the job as described...chatted a bit, then left. <br /> <br /> Quite happy with the entire process. If you have questions about the 'tightness' of your home, this testing will point out the weak spots that need addressing.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

You can tell if old flooring has asbestos if thick black flooring adhesive is underneath the tiles. However, homeowners should not cut into linoleum floors to look for this adhesive. Instead, hiring a specialist to test the floors is the only safe way to determine if old flooring has asbestos.

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

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.

Testing and analysis take 10 days to 2 weeks. Expedited services are available for urgent situations typically requiring higher fees.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.
