Tyler called first and told me what time he would arrive. He was punctual and fixed the clog in a matter of seconds. He test flushed the toilet a few more times to make sure all was working properly. The price was reasonable and the work professionally performed.

Outstanding job and experience. From arrival confirmation to assessment to the actual work. We'd received several estimates and appraisals, but the gentleman from Tarvin went the extra mile to test and figure out an issue with our water pressure. Instead of scope-creep, he looked to the origin...

I have used many remediation companies in the past but this one is the best by far. They were out at the project immediately and assessed the situation. They were able to get started right away, knocked the job out quickly, and got clean test results back just in time to save a sale.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Knob and tube wiring is an older type of electrical wiring that's no longer used and generally not considered safe. However, some homes still have it, or may have a knob and tube wiring system that was incorrectly modified or rigged to work with a modern electrical system. Knob and tube wiring may contain asbestos insulation, but the only way to know is to have the material professionally tested.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

If you can locate building records, you may be able simply to see what type of tiles (or bonding agent) was used. Any flooring made between 1950 and 1989 more than likely contains asbestos. Asbestos tiles can also be slightly thicker than other tiles and often measure 9” x 9”, 12” x 12”, and 18” x 18. Black mastic was a commonly used adhesive that contains asbestos.
