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...

They kept me informed by text of when they would be arriving and who would be doing the work. They arrived at the indicated time and performed the necessary tests. They seemed to be very honest people and were very friendly.

Tony was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. We had results back the day after the test. Results indicated that we did not have an excessive amount of mold. No remediation was needed. The cost seemed comparable to others in the area.

,Where do I start? First we had Brian Kremmel come to the house and give us an estimate for the heat pump/air conditioner. He measured the entire house so that he would know what size unit we needed. Wow! What a nice young man...and clean too! He then gave us a quote and wasn't satisfied...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

Acoustic ceiling tiles
Furnace insulation
Home appliances
Fire-retardant clothing
Cement pipe
Pipe insulation
Wall and ceiling insulation
Vehicle brake pads
Vinyl flooring
Sprayed acoustic ceilings
Stove insulation
Patching compounds
Textured paints
Roofing shingles
Siding

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.

It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.

If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you’ll want to call in an asbestos removal expert to evaluate the situation.

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.
