So far so good. The real test will be during the next heavy rainfall, but I'm confident since the guys used a hose to simulate large amounts of water.

I think that Greenworx did a tremendous job and the company responded quickly, they came out the very next day. This was my first time needing service for mold testing, so I do believe that the price was fair. I got my report a few day later and was happy with the work the company completed.

Do not hire these guys. They know nothing about plumbing and will not test for things when coming to give you an estimate. They will then ask for a deposit based on their incompetence and will not refund you the money when they say they will.

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.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed.

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

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.

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.
