Great experience! John was so quick to get a tile sample, get it tested for asbestos, and, when the test came back positive, get the asbestos removed asap without any mess! We didn't have to alter our kitchen remodel timeline at all despite the setback thanks to their great work.

Mike and his team did a great job with testing mastic and then removing asbestos containing tiles from my basement. Price was great, the work was done well, and Mike communicated well throughout the process.

Percolation Tests FAQs, answered by experts

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

Asbestos testing takes place in two stages—collection and lab testing. Collection can take less than 20 minutes if a professional manages to get a direct sample. If air samples are required, then the pro will set up a testing device and return to collect it. In both cases, the sample is sent to a lab and results are confirmed or denied usually within one to two days.

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

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.

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.
