After Leak Squad thoroughly tested my pool, no one wants to hear that they have a leak three feet under concrete and dirt in their PVC skimmer line. Oh, and by the way, the PVC line may be encased in concrete thus adding to the cost. (Naturally for me, it was.) But, since that was the reality, I...

The true test is if the metal roof doesn't leak again. I haven't had a good rain to test their work but if it doesn't leak, I will certainly call them in the future. Great to work with. Looks like a great job. Now let it Rain !...(assuming no roof leak)

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to. Research a home’s history to determine the time period when it was built and any renovations made since.

Damaged tiles can release asbestos fibers into the air. Anyone in the surrounding area who may inhale the fibers will have them settled in the lining of internal organs. Over time, it may lead to serious health conditions such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The only safe way to prevent these conditions is to avoid exposure to asbestos at all costs, even for a short period of time.

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.
