I used ANGI for the first time and AS Plumbing and Heating contacted me promptly. They were able to provide services the same day. The service was exceptional and price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend this company and will use them in the future.

What I got out of the contact was a referral to Harry Wells Plumbing. They did a great job, but they did not mention upfront that there was a minimum of a 1-hour charge for the work. When I received the bill as he left he still did not mention it. The bill was very high for less than 30 minutes...

Fantastic. Price was fair, Brad Decatur was prompt, polite, and knowledgeable. He completed the boiler install in 1 day as promised, including winterization and system testing. I highly recommend Decatur Heating Services, and WILL be using them again.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

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.

If you suspect exposure to asbestos, prioritize seeking medical advice by informing your healthcare provider about the potential exposure with clear details about the circumstances that led to the exposure. Regular health check-ups and screenings if you work in high-risk industries or live in a home with asbestos are essential for early detection of any asbestos-related conditions. You should also consider consulting occupational health experts or legal professionals for guidance on potential next steps and preventive measures.
