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.

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

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

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.

A professional indoor air quality inspection takes anywhere from one to three hours, depending on the size of your home and the number of necessary samples. After the test, the specialist will discuss the findings, but you won’t get a full written report for 2 to 10 days, though you can ask your pro to expedite the process, if needed.

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.

Asbestos was most commonly produced and integrated into building products from the 1920s to the late 1980s. In reality, asbestos use should have ceased much sooner because asbestos was linked to cancer in studies produced as early as the 1950s. You can even extend that number past the 1980s due to stockpiled materials and because some countries treat asbestos use differently. It may also be found more in commercial applications than residential.
