Tyler with Nick's Inspection Services did a wonderful job explaining the process. He was fast yet efficient. He was careful to wait on the test results before discussing so as not to create panic. I felt He was honest and I am thankful I used Nick's Inspection.

I called a few places, and they had the best price in the area. They came out pretty quick, and they were done pretty quickly. It was convenient arranging times to pick up the test kit and all of that. The tests at the end all came back great!

Tests were performed identifying the mold issue and type of mold. They treated the area which corrected the mold problem. This was verified by additional testing the mold level. Their process works great as advertised. Their team were good to work with and I would recommend them to others.

I asked Nick's to do an air quality test on the property he checked for mold and other organism and found no elevation in the spore count. What I was hoping for was a test for chemical vapors or fumes in the air to try to determine what I'm dealing with.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.

No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.
