Spoke with Samantha to set up appointment. Although not the technician, seemed very knowledgeable and helpful. That right there made my decision to use them a lot easier. Edson was the technician and genuinely cared to make sure his readings and tests identified the issue.

I hired Mold Spotters to test for mold in my attic and storage space. Both areas tested positive for mold. I hired a separate company to remediate, then called back Mold Spotters to retest. Dave is very punctual, reliable and professional. Very pleasant to work with.

Very poor at first. Sales agent measured PH wrong and the wrong tanks were installed. Took me two weeks to convince them there was a problem. When they came back out they realized that PH had been measured wrong. Another week for new tanks. Never came back to test again plumber was awesome.

The test for mold was conducted with a filtered air sample and examined at a lab. Careful analysis took some time, but it was worth the results. There was no significant mold that required remediation. The professional was honest in not recommending unnecessary work. I am highly satisfied.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Knob and tube wiring is an older type of electrical wiring that's no longer used and generally not considered safe. However, some homes still have it, or may have a knob and tube wiring system that was incorrectly modified or rigged to work with a modern electrical system. Knob and tube wiring may contain asbestos insulation, but the only way to know is to have the material professionally tested.

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

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.
