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.

Percolation Tests FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.

Vermiculite insulation that comes from a particular mine before 1990 is likely to contain asbestos. This is particularly true in the U.S. However, not all types of vermiculite insulation contain asbestos. Since you can't detect the presence of asbestos without special equipment, it's best to assume that the insulation contains the dangerous mineral and to either leave it alone or hire a professional to handle it.
