Brady did an excellent job with this pour. The grade of slope was as asked, sheds water where desired and with no low spots. It looks great as well. Probably the most impressive thing was that he estimated when they could do the job which was about 3 weeks out and that was bang on. He also...

The estimate was fast. The work was done quickly. The installation crew was friendly and did their job well. It is hard to give a true rating on insulation quality and value until we have tested it in the winter. But so far I have notice improvement on how hot it gets on the upper level of my...

I was happy with the service provided by EPI. They were expensive but they gave me up front pricing and were cheaper than the other companies that I spoke to-furthermore I needed to get the testing done in order to sell the house. The company rep was polite and respectful, also he was careful...

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 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.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

Vermiculite insulation that comes from a particular mine before 1990 is likely to contain asbestos. This is particularly true in the U.S. However, not all types of vermiculite insulation contain asbestos. Since you can't detect the presence of asbestos without special equipment, it's best to assume that the insulation contains the dangerous mineral and to either leave it alone or hire a professional to handle it.
