It was really good. We never use them before but a friend of ours recommended them and they did really well. Today, nobody shows up on time. We called three different companies. He came right out and gave us a quote. When we called the next day, made an appointment and he was on time. When he...

Dependable is an apt name for Joe's Plumbing services. He came on time and within a couple of days of my first call. He put in a top-notch (40 gallon) water heater that requires no flushing and removed the old one. I live in an old house with a narrow stairway to the basement and I was worried...

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

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.

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

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.

Do not panic if you are exposed to asbestos. The illnesses associated with asbestos exposure are rare. If you are concerned about exposure, talk to your doctor, especially if you are having any respiratory symptoms, such as coughing or difficulty breathing. They may recommend imaging to get a view of the insides of your organs and determine if scarring or growths are present.

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.
