Jonathan from PRS helped me out with actually a silica test, which is less common than mold. PRS's test was cheaper (in some cases by more than $1,000!), with a faster turnaround time for lab submission, and the team was available more immediately than all the other quotes I received. Thank...

It went great. They did a clean and thorough job. The water tastes so good. The only problem is that now I'm spoiled and water anywhere else tastes like crap...even Zepherhills Spring Water. Not that I didn't trust their system did a good job, but we wanted to double check to make sure all...

Larry was super nice. In order to do the indoor air quality test, it takes about 2 hours, and to have someone other than Larry in your home for that long may have been very uncomfortable. I was pleased with the wide spectrum of tests that were performed on the home, I was just disappointed to...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

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.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

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

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