Jamie is a very nice guy, however, he did not prepare us for the test at all. Turns out, in order to get the most accurate results you need to keep all doors and windows closed for a couple days prior. The house is empty and the weather was great so when in the home the doors and windows were...

The two guys were not professional at all. They have no kind of personality. When they did the testing, I have a pipe that was broken and they didn’t give me a clear explanation of what is the cost was. It was about $800 and it was a lower cost than the rest but because of their personality, I...

I'd had the plumbers do a pressure test to determine if I actually had an under slab leak, and if so, if it was between the house and the meter, or in the house (under the slab) and if it was hot or cold. <br /> They then recommended contacting Accurate Leak Detection to pinpoint the actual...

The work turned out well and we were very satisfied with them. They were very thorough and tested for mold and other things. They even said that they picked up traces of a cat or a dog, and we haven’t had any pets for a year.

I was quite please with the professional work and the thoroughness of his inspection at my condo. I got a very detailed report, including pictures, and mold test. He used a infra-red imaging camera to find a leak that I thought was coming from the condo above, but it was actually coming from my...

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.

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.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.
