What does asbestos do to humans?

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...

The service turned out fine. When they sent out the test results, the score was low, they don't give you the feedback as to what the rating was. They gave me a number of 79, and I don't know what that means. They didn't explain very well. I am assuming that if there was something horrible, I...

They did a good job getting the chemicals correct in our hot tub. They took in a sample of our water and tested it. Then they told us which chemical we need to neutralize the water.

When they come out they will hook everything up again, add the water and chemicals and then off they go. I got the pool from them and everything else is one stop shopping. They have everything there and all the things you need to maintain the pool. If you're having trouble with chemicals you...

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

When learning how to test for asbestos in a popcorn ceiling, you have an option for a DIY job or to hire a professional tester. You can purchase a kit at a hardware store and use personal protective equipment while doing the test. If you don’t want to risk any potential exposure to asbestos, hire a professional asbestos testing company instead.

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

The cost for asbestos testing typically ranges from $400 to $800. The final price depends on several factors, including the number of samples needed, the size and age of the property, and the professional's expertise required for comprehensive testing. Larger or older properties may have higher costs.

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.
