Excellent from start to finish. Made sure that even if we didnâ t hire them that we hired a company that tested at an accredited lab. They followed up and helped us with the right solution once results were in.

I needed my sprinkling system tested for a leak. However, a part had broken due to the cold winter, they couldn’t test the system until it was fixed. I had the part and they installed it for me. Great price! They went above and beyond.

The tech guy was professional and did the mold test in less than 45 min. He arrived on time and when he left there was no clean up on my part. Now I'm just waiting for the test results to come back so I can decided what to do next.

This is a small company. We are not looking at s customer service department here. Lets just work together and get it done. There was a weather delay, a problem with the supplier for a day and then it happened really fast. It looks good. The real test of course is five years and more from now.

They come in and immediately start a water test spiel then gave me ridiculous quotes that are 3 times higher than anyone in the area. This is one of those companies that make money by padding and adding. I would be wary of them.

Testing and analysis take 10 days to 2 weeks. Expedited services are available for urgent situations typically requiring higher fees.

Asbestos is absolutely cancerous. In fact, around 4% of all lung cancer cases are the result of asbestos exposure. This is why we recommend a full, professional removal and cleaning of any asbestos found in your home. If you are unsure whether there is any present, you should call a pro who will inspect your property.

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

Asbestos is commonly found in certain older homes, depending on the time period in which they were built. Asbestos use in home construction began in the 1920s and peaked after World War II before being limited by legislation in the ’70s, so a house constructed in 1880 is unlikely to contain asbestos, while one built in 1950 is much more likely to.
