The opinion of Rich Wingle on septic hydraulic load test was partially accurate, however his inability to explain the reason for denial has greatly affected a local business, as well as neighboring properties who truly want to see renovated buildings. I would not recommend.

Percolation Tests FAQs, 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.

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

Although the use of asbestos has declined since the 1980s, it remains in several different types of building construction materials for insulation and as a fire retardant. Typically, asbestos can be found in materials such as ceiling and floor tiles, heat-resistant fabrics and coatings, and roof shingles. You may also find asbestos in textured paint and patching compounds.

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.
