We were very appreciative of the fact that they came immediately to do the testing and had a very quick turn around time. They were very professional and recommended a wonderful contractor to come and do the abatement. The whole project from testing to abatement was done in 5 days!

Simply put they informed the State on a pressure test failure. The leak was later determined to be on the top and there was no oil spillage. Unfortunately their faulty information lead to numerous encounters with the state etc. They were trying to get the soil remediation job too. DO NOT USE.

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.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

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

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

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity.
