Excellent work performed by South Shore Gunite as my pool has never looked or performed better. For pricing if you look around you will find companies that are better priced for the same work but this company can be trusted to do the work right the first time and not have any problems later on....

They were really good. They were very reasonably price. I used them last week. The price was very reasonable. Most other companies charge a lot more. They ask questions about what exactly you want them to do. Do you want to do the testing or will they? I had a really good experience with them.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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.

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

Because of the danger of inhaling asbestos fibers, figuring out through testing whether your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos is definitely worth it. If the popcorn ceiling texture has asbestos, remove it as soon as possible to keep your family safe. Any home built in or before the 1980s that has popcorn ceilings could have asbestos, necessitating testing. Asbestos carries several health risks for people who inhale it, including the increased chance of developing lung cancer in the future.

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.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax
