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.

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

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

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

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.
