Not well. After I explained the situation to the Technician, he began working on the in-ground valve. He tried several tools to loosen and remove the valve cap, but said that he wasn't able to, and would therefore have to "dig the whole thing up". When he saw my surprised reaction, he asked "why...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.
