I hired them to test for asbestos. They contacted me five minutes after I submitted the initial request and were at my house the same day (on a Sunday which is more impressive). All the work was explained in laymen’s terms and I’m keeping them in my roledex for future home projects. They are...

Very nice people to work with. Showed up when they said they would and explained what they were going to do. I feel that I got the most done for the dollars spent. The final test will be to see if they return to see if the grade is settling the way it should, that is even with the natural...

Pure Mold will spray to kill the mold, but will not physically wipe the Mold down. The home failed a secondary *re-inspection*, a few days after the initial air fogging, because there was still visible mold. I contacted Daniel a few times asking if he had the results of the air quality test...

A different worker came out than was expected (not the owner), and he was brusque in manner. We were treated like we were less than for using the Angie's List special. He did not do a thorough look at the basement, and did a different test than what we were expecting. We ended up on the phone...

I would never go anywhere else for mold testing. I called and the lady in the office was so nice and informative and got me scheduled around my crazy schedule, not theirs so that meant a lot. The guy that came out and tested my home was really nice and professional. I was so glad to know we...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If you think you’ve touched asbestos, do not put on a mask. This is important because you may take the asbestos fibers on your hands on trap them in the mask. Make your way to a sink and wash your hands thoroughly. Remove any clothes and seal them in a bag, then take a shower. Call your doctor and let them know you’ve been exposed to asbestos, and make sure you see them as soon as possible. The reason you keep the clothes is in case anyone wants to confirm the presence of asbestos.

There are products that still contain asbestos, but they were typically installed decades ago. Common places where you may still find asbestos-containing materials are in siding, wrapped around ductwork, in older appliances (i.e., stove and gravity furnaces), and in floors. Asbestos was primarily used as an insulator, so anywhere in an older home where you lose heat is where you will most likely find asbestos.

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

Professional testing is advisable to ensure safety regulations are met, and accurate results are obtained using certified methods.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
