I wanted to test my water for the lead and copper content. Andy from Ecoinspector was very prompted at scheduling the test, was very punctual and professional during testing. I received a comprehensive report a couple of days later, that was easy to understand. I will use them again! Thank you!

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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.

Since DIY asbestos removal isn’t the best option to save money, there are other steps that you can take to help cut costs when dealing with this project. After speaking with your asbestos removal expert, discuss if encapsulation is an option. If it is, you can save between 15% to 25% on overall project costs over demolition and disposal. In addition, when speaking with your professional, discuss if there are any tax credits available for your removal project. Finally, check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if any removal costs might be covered. However, be aware that this is usually only applicable if the asbestos is due to a covered incident, like a tree falling into your roof.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

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