Overall I was pleased with Hearthstone Home Inspections. The inspector Richard arrived early and was thorough when walking us through his findings. Considering I opted for extra services aside from the basic home inspection, I thought the price was reasonable (except for testing of lead in the...

Don is very sharp. He explained the testing process in detail. Don was at my house exactly when he said he would be. While doing the mold test he looked around my basement and pointed out a few things with mechanicals that were a problem. He is a home inspector also. I highly recommend Don.

I had been trying to figure out what was going on with my well water for years! I knew I had calcium in my water which created all sorts of issues including scale, especially in my tankless hot water heater, but also in my dishwasher. I've lost track of how many times I have needed to replace my...

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.

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...

Doug came out on a Saturday to fix our stove - I called him in the afternoon and he was here within 90 minutes. He was professional, personable, and polite. It was a relatively quick fix, but he charged us a very fair price given that it was a Saturday and he had to drive all the way out here....

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are intact, in good condition, and not disturbed. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when its fibers are released into the air, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

Acoustic ceiling tiles
Furnace insulation
Home appliances
Fire-retardant clothing
Cement pipe
Pipe insulation
Wall and ceiling insulation
Vehicle brake pads
Vinyl flooring
Sprayed acoustic ceilings
Stove insulation
Patching compounds
Textured paints
Roofing shingles
Siding

Although the use of asbestos has declined since the 1980s, it remains in several different types of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Typically, asbestos can be found in materials such as ceiling and floor tiles, heat-resistant fabrics and coatings, and roof shingles. You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.
