We hired Nationwide to remove the asbestos from our boiler and pipes in order for us to remove the boiler and replace with split system. In the middle of the work they informed us that there was asbestos inside of the boiler, which according to them, was not part of the arrangement. We disagreed...

Charged us a lot of money, then turned out because the pipe was galvanized, they put a hole in it. But they didn't test it before they left. Leaked into our kitchen. Major water damage. They refused to take any responsibility. Supervisor in Mamaroneck told me it was the contractor's fault,...

They were very professional, prompt and knowledgeable. They tested everything before leaving. Also, I was very happy to find them around when I call up for a emergency call instead of having to leave a message for a plumber that suppose to be 24/7.

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.

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.

While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.

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

If you have an older electrical system with fraying wires and other signs of damage, removal may be the best course of action. When asbestos begins to break down, it's more likely to become airborne, increasing the risk of health issues when it's inhaled.

However, if the system is in good condition and doesn't have visible signs of wear or damage, leaving it alone may be the safest course of action. An asbestos abatement and removal professional can help you determine the best way to proceed.
