Good work but kinda pricey in my opinion. They charge was $37.50 trip fee (which was not communicated prior to). And then $100 per outlet repair. Although I do understand $100 per outlet, I wasn?t expecting to be charged for an outlet that he don?t actually work on. Work was done in the kitchen...

I contacted a different service to get a quote on air testing. Rich was able to get me a quote, perform the testing, and report the results before the other company even replied - and their price was 3 times as high. I would hire Pure Solutions again in a heartbeat.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

Professional testing is advisable to ensure safety regulations are met, and accurate results are obtained using certified methods.

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.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.
