A couple years ago, my husband and I noticed a leak in or roof at the joint between our four season porch and the main house. Last year I contacted Super Siders and we thought we'd identified and fixed the problem. Returning to Minnesota this month, it was obvious that we hadn't. I...

He had a big job to do to get the old epoxy off and pitch the water away from the edge of the garage. The real test will be to see if the pitch is enough after a hard rain. He made the floors look super nice with tons of specks of the color I ordered. I think I will have this floor for many...

It sucks big time. They told me they couldn't find a technician in my area to do the work and I had the option of hiring my own contractor, so I did. If I had used their contractor - the one they didn't have available - the cost of the leak test would have been covered. But since I had to get my...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

Amount of exposure
Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers
Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos
Genetic factors
Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.

Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
