I’ll start out by saying the unit itself seems to be working appropriately so far about a month post install. I decided to purchase a system from Leaf home water solutions after a salesman named Jake from the leaf filter division mentioned They would be able to help with the large amount of iron...

Good company for getting test results but not the firm you want for mold remediation as they did not appear to be setup or real willing to perform that type of work. (I.e I asked for a bid and never received one.) Their lack of mold remediation testimonials on-line confirm this. They will...

Visual inspection (no charge) did not warrant additional testing. I GREATLY appreciate Jason's expertise, and his willingness to discuss mold/moisture related topics with me! I will definitely contact Green Home in the future if I have concerns!

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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.

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.

While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.

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
