We hired Sarah to test our home for asbestos. She was professional, responsive, and was able to get us timely results. We especially appreciated that she explained the testing process clearly and took the time to answer all of our questions. We highly recommend her.

My technician Tanner was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. After looking at my home and surveying for mold, I decided to have the air tested which he did right then and there. I am still waiting for the results but it was nice to know we had no mold issues.

They were great. They came right away despite it being a very busy time of year. They set up the asbestos testing (they do not do this themselves but refer out) and connected me with the company so I could easily schedule a time for them to come out and test.

Neal Cass of Nealco Inspectional Services gave great service in both contacting me and getting my floor sample lab tested, and the report back in a very timely fashion. I was so relieved to know that it was safe to proceed in the next stage of remodeling our kitchen.

The pre-sales test is rather convincing, but the service and professionalism once you sign is awful. First, the Kinetico system is way too expensive. If you get it, know that the parts are expensive and can only be received through few vendors. We had over 10+ technicians back to our house to...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is absolutely cancerous. In fact, around 4% of all lung cancer cases are the result of asbestos exposure. This is why we recommend a full, professional removal and cleaning of any asbestos found in your home. If you are unsure whether there is any present, you should call a pro who will inspect your property.

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

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.

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.
