Ed was very professional and informed me on his testing process along the way. He was very thorough and provided a detailed inspection. I would use Abby-Owen again in the future and would recommend others to use them as well.

I wanted to leave this review because even though whomever I talked to couldn't help me himself, he was just about as nice and helpful as he could be. I think the true test of a business is how they interact with you when there's nothing you can do for them in terms of providing business. I was...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.

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.
