Q: How do companies ensure safety during the abatement process?

• <div><p>By using PPE, sealing work areas, and following containment procedures.</p></div>

Q: What counts as hazardous waste?

• <div><p>The EPA broadly defines hazardous waste as any waste that could pose a danger to humans or the environment. More specifically, it includes any material that could combust or explode under normal temperatures and pressure, as well as materials that are toxic or corrosive. Some common household hazardous waste products include aerosol cans, paint cans, old tires, medical supplies, unused medications, fire extinguishers, cleaning solutions, and lawn care products.</p></div>

Q: What happens if asbestos is found?

• <div><p>If asbestos is present, professionals provide recommendations for safe removal or containment. Follow local regulations for handling.</p></div>

Q: Are asbestos removal contractors required to have any certifications?

• <div><p>Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in New York, those handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. The mandates dictating the necessary training or certifications vary based on state and local laws.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on an asbestos roof?

• <div><p>Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof. </p></div>

"Wish I could give them an A+! I was very impressed with Todd's expertise and customer service. We will definately be going back to Legend for future testing needs. We wanted to test some building materials from our 1920's house for asbestos before doing demolition. I called and consulted Todd over the phone on costs and sample collection before bring the samples over. Their rates for bulk analysis of asbestos were very economical in my opinion ($35 for 1 sample or $25/sample if multiple samples w/ 3-5 day turn) with options to pay for expedited results if you don't have time to wait ($50 for next day/sample or $100 for same day). When I arrived, he came out to talk through the samples and was very knowledgeable about building materials and which were likely or unlikely to contain asbestos. We had some multi-layered plaster and Todd explained how it was constructed and which layers, if any, were the most likely to contain asbestos. We dropped our sample off at 8am and requested next day results since we planned to start demo. We had results later the same day."

"This company engages in deceptive practices. I initially contacted them for a standard main line snaking service, which they advertised for $123. Upon arrival, the technician immediately attempted to upsell additional services. After I declined, they performed the basic service but strongly suggested I pay extra for a camera inspection due to a significant amount of roots they encountered. When I refused again, they offered the camera inspection for free, which revealed a root ball at about 65 feet. They then proposed an upgrade to a larger blade, which I agreed to. However, when they returned the next day, they attempted to charge me the full price for the upgraded service instead of just the $100 difference. Although their system allegedly didn’t allow for the correct adjustment, they managed to apply discounts and coupons, bringing the total down to $102. Despite using the larger blade, they were unable to clear the root ball and recommended either a significantly more expensive chain service or a $11,000 liner service. I declined and instead hired Ron the Sewer Rat, who successfully completed the job using a regular blade with a camera inspection, without any issues. Save your money and avoid this company, as they seem more focused on upselling than providing genuine service."
