Nick reviewed our problem, recommended a solution, provided the estimate and did the final testing. Technicians Therah and Tyrone did all the prep-work and cleanup. All were professional. We had other estimates, one similar and one much higher. Glad we chose Dry Effect.

The tests came back positive for 2 different molds. I paid $3500.00 to have the mold remediated while they stayed here for a week. She is healthy now, so I think that the remediation was a success.

The reason for the low rating was that the plumber took one look at the first toilet and said it would be $150 to put in a new fill valve. I asked what that was going to do for the leaking flapper seal and he said "nothing." So I told him you can fill the tank and the water will drain out...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.

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

It can be safe to live in a house with asbestos as long as the asbestos-containing materials are intact, in good condition, and not disturbed. Asbestos becomes dangerous only when its fibers are released into the air, which happens if the material is damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation work. If you suspect asbestos is present, do not disturb it. Instead of removal, materials in good condition can sometimes be encapsulated. It is recommended to have regular professional inspections to monitor the condition of the asbestos and prevent health risks from potential exposure.

It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.
