Oklahoma Cleaning Service responded very quickly to my call. They communicated well throughout sharing mold tests and photos with me so I could see exactly what needed to be done. The work was thorough and what a huge difference.

It was a very smooth process. A&D were very knowledgeable and helpful along the way. We would definitely use this company again if we ever need another inspection or water test. :)

This started off as an awesome experience. The owner was wonderful in helping us figure out what we wanted to do, which involved a lot of time before they ever got paid for anything. She took us around to shops, suggested ideas, and was patient when we chucked out one kitchen scheme in favor...

I have used Thompson's for four years. While they are generally pretty slow to respond, I figured it's because it is a seasonal business and made allowances. They generally can replace a pump or sand. They are not good at helping to keep the pool clean, although they do have a free water testing...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

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.

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.

You can tell if old flooring has asbestos if thick black flooring adhesive is underneath the tiles. However, homeowners should not cut into linoleum floors to look for this adhesive. Instead, hiring a specialist to test the floors is the only safe way to determine if old flooring has asbestos.

Asbestos fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.
