Ryan of Preferred Plumbing worked fast and efficiently. In addition to installing our pot filler in our kitchen, which required him to coordinate with our tile guy, he repaired a few leaks on the hot water recirculation line for us as well. Highly recommend!

He takes the time to explain what he is looking at and is very thorough. His report came quickly and described in detail everything anyone would want to know! I didn't request any radon testing, and it wasn't part of the inspection. I feel comfortable now knowing the condition of everything...

Pricing was very reasonable and very good to work with. He repaired a small section on the roof with shingles and was very fast and on time. The test will come when it rains, but I would recommend him thus far. I will be calling him for more work

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

There are products that still contain asbestos, but they were typically installed decades ago. Common places where you may still find asbestos-containing materials are in siding, wrapped around ductwork, in older appliances (i.e., stove and gravity furnaces), and in floors. Asbestos was primarily used as an insulator, so anywhere in an older home where you lose heat is where you will most likely find asbestos.

Because of the danger of inhaling asbestos fibers, figuring out through testing whether your popcorn ceiling contains asbestos is definitely worth it. If the popcorn ceiling texture has asbestos, remove it as soon as possible to keep your family safe. Any home built in or before the 1980s that has popcorn ceilings could have asbestos, necessitating testing. Asbestos carries several health risks for people who inhale it, including the increased chance of developing lung cancer in the future.

Through air sampling devices and surface swabs in key areas of concern.

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

If you have an older electrical system with fraying wires and other signs of damage, removal may be the best course of action. When asbestos begins to break down, it's more likely to become airborne, increasing the risk of health issues when it's inhaled.

However, if the system is in good condition and doesn't have visible signs of wear or damage, leaving it alone may be the safest course of action. An asbestos abatement and removal professional can help you determine the best way to proceed.
