I hired Paige to do radon testing at my new house. She was super responsive (and nice!!) and took the time to explain the test as well as the results. Iâ m already planning to consult her about another test at my home, very happy that I found a specialist for indoor air quality!

Pool air leaks are often difficult to diagnose. Sean ruled out a couple of plumbing issues around pump and filter, then pressure tested both skimmer lines. It wasn't conclusive, but there was some loss of pressure in the skimmer lines. In the end, not losing pool water, the air bubbles i the...

Tub looks excellent. Of course the test of time is critical. Hopefully with some care, as we were told it will last a long time.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn how to clean asbestos safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.

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.

DIY kits are available, but professional testing ensures accurate results and compliance with regulations.
