I never give out bad reviews. I'm compelled to this time. I called for a simple air quality test for mold. The owner shows up and begins pushing his services for mold removal. It's not your normal sales pitch, but much more aggressive. So, he ends up talking his way into my crawlspace. ...

I was impressed with this group and Mike Fowler who came out and assessed the situation. They seem very good , responsive, and the job was done quickly. I would recommend them . The true test, however, will be this winter when I see if my heating bill is substantially lowered.

Visual inspection was performed first. Though water was detected, no obvious signs of mold. Then indoor and outdoor mold samples were collected. Final report after testing was that there was no need for mold remediation.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If asbestos is found, it is crucial to consult with a professional. They will provide recommendations for appropriate abatement actions, which may include safe removal, containment, sealing, or enclosure. All actions must be planned and executed in accordance with local regulations for handling asbestos.

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

You can tell if old flooring has asbestos if thick black flooring adhesive is underneath the tiles. However, homeowners should not cut into linoleum floors to look for this adhesive. Instead, hiring a specialist to test the floors is the only safe way to determine if old flooring has asbestos.
