Great response time. Explained services available, tested for mold on initial visit, results back in two days. No pressure, did not try to sell something we did not need! Very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend this company if you need mold testing!

They are completely rude to customers. Do not use. They do not test customers well and they are very disrespectful!

Very thorough. I wanted an inspection to get an idea of what I might need to pay attention to in preparing my home for a possible sale. I was also able to get a radon test and termite inspection through them. They were well worth it.

Gary performed the inspection on rather short notice. He also did the radon testing. His report was very clear and Gary was very helpful in answering the questions that I had.

Very pleased with the service. Eric was extremely thorough and did a great job of explaining each test. The final report exceeded expectations and identified many areas I would never have thought would have been a major source of heat loss. I highly recommend Building Performance. <br />

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

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.

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.

Asbestos is absolutely cancerous. In fact, around 4% of all lung cancer cases are the result of asbestos exposure. This is why we recommend a full, professional removal and cleaning of any asbestos found in your home. If you are unsure whether there is any present, you should call a pro who will inspect your property.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.
