"We received a somewhat high-pressure sales pitch after seeing them highly recommended. We do not ever have standing water in our basement but get a little moisture here and there, so I was not in a huge hurry to get this done, but I did also wanted to seal up the walls to help prevent mice from getting in. What the salesperson promised me, as far as expectations of the work they would do, was enough to get me to sign on as a fill-in job at a lower rate. I signed the contract in August and was told they would brush out any loose mortar and fill in any big gaps between stones in my stone and mortar foundation. They told me that, as a fill-in, I would most likely have the work done before October, November at the latest. They insisted on installing the EZ Breathe vent right away, even though there were clearly big gaps under my porch, which would just draw in the outside air, so we never run it. October came and went. So did November December, without a whisper from them. Then I got a call in January, a day or two before the end of the window on my contract for when the work is expected to be complete. They want to do a test break of the concrete on the floor of my basement. No other info is given, like when they might be starting. I tell them I want to delay things until Spring, because I do not want them in and out and my pipes exposed, due to the cold. They send me a new contract to sign, so I begrudgingly sign it. It was my first opportunity to get out and I regret not doing so. We reschedule for March. Then COVID hits, and I finally get a call saying that they have to reschedule me for July, AND I have to sign a new contract AGAIN... Again, an opportunity I should have taken to walk away. Shortly before work is supposed to start, I get a call that they are behind schedule and have to push it to August. So now, a week shy of 1 year, they call and say that instead of sending a foreman out the Friday before, so that they can go over my concerns and how they will do the install, they tell me that the foreman will show up with the crew on Tuesday. *Sigh* Fine... Let just get this over with. Tuesday comes and the crew shows up with no foreman. I am told the guy that walked me through things has a good experience, and that the owner trusts him, but that is not the best person to tell me that they think they need to out 2 sump pumps in, but they need to check with the foreman and that they want to get started right away without him. Said he would be there the next day. So, they want to start work without a plan... Another red flag. Should have told them, no, but this is my first major hire of a contractor, so I let them start breaking up the floor inside. Foreman shows up at noon the same day. Says he agrees that 2 pumps are necessary, I express my concern, he says he will check with a production manager and let me know the next day. The next day he verifies 2 pumps, no cost to me. I discuss other issues, he says they do not fill cracks unless they can see someone on the other side of the wall. I call the office and complain. The owner makes a trip out, we discuss the issues. He tells him to fix them, tells foreman to take pictures. I feel better. I have to remind the foreman of things, pictures of problem areas were not taken before they hung encapsulation. Sounds like they did not address some of my major concerns. At that point, I was fed up and just wanted them to finish and leave. Gave me a free warranty extension for my troubles. The crew worked hard but was messy. Had to point out cigarette butts and garbage they left on my lawn. Still ended up finding a sweatshirt and red bull can in my basement... Not as bad as some stories I have heard, but it is not that hard to clean up after yourself. Would have left a pickaxe here if I did not remind them to take it. My credit was checked 4 times before the job was done."

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Depending on the size of your home, the inspection process could take a few hours or a few days. While inspecting your home, the asbestos specialist will take small sections of the potentially contaminated material. They will then send the sample to an accredited laboratory or the local health department for testing. 

The cost of asbestos testing depends on your location, the home's size, and the testing area's complexity. Plan to spend between $230 and $800 for testing. During testing and while handling potential asbestos, the specialist may wear protective gear, including gloves, overalls, appropriate footwear, and respiratory equipment.

Do not panic if you are exposed to asbestos. The illnesses associated with asbestos exposure are rare. If you are concerned about exposure, talk to your doctor, especially if you are having any respiratory symptoms, such as coughing or difficulty breathing. They may recommend imaging to get a view of the insides of your organs and determine if scarring or growths are present.

In the 1980s, the use of asbestos in house siding materials underwent a significant decline, ultimately being phased out by the mid-1980s to early 1990s. This change was largely due to a growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with asbestos exposure, particularly its link to lung diseases and cancers. With increased public concern and regulatory agency involvement, building codes and regulations were updated to restrict the use of asbestos in construction materials. 

Unlike some home problems, such as water damage or pest infestations, asbestos can be very difficult to spot. Asbestos is a mineral in the form of microscopic fibers and was previously used in building materials for its bonding and fireproofing abilities. Insulation, roof shingles, ceiling tiles, floor tiles, pipe wrappings, soundproofing materials, and textured paint features like popcorn ceilings are common sources of asbestos, particularly in homes built before 1980.

Age is perhaps the biggest indicator of asbestos, as legislation passed in the 1970s labeled asbestos as dangerous and regulated its use in building materials. Signs of age in the form of wear and tear or material degradation are also indicators that asbestos fibers may be leaking into the air, but ultimately, it’s difficult to detect with the naked eye. If you have reason to suspect asbestos in your home, it’s best to hire a certified asbestos inspector.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.
