The majority of my project was repair work. Most of the paver contractors I spoke to were more interested in new work. Kivo was happy to help with my repairs. Turned out great.

THE ONLY THING THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A SNAG WAS THE INITIAL PART WAS THAT THEY ASKED THE POTENTIAL CUSTOMER TO BOOK AN APPOINTMENT FIRST. THAT PART OF THE PROCESS WAS THE ONLY THAT GOT OFF TRACK.

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.

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.

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

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

Asbestos was commonly used in cloth wiring, but not all types of cloth wiring contain it. The age, condition, and appearance of the wiring can provide clues as to whether asbestos is present or not, but the only way to know for sure if the wiring has asbestos is to have it tested.
