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.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

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.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.
