Tim is a knowledgeable guy! He tested two of my residences for mold, dust mites and VOCs. He was prompt and very hard working! Test results were received and recommendations followed. Great job!

trustworthy results. This service is not connected with a mold remediation service. Mold remediation companies who do "free" inspections only want to sell you their remediation services. I would not trust their test results. Reporting to you that they found mold benefits them. Your Health...

Easy instructions. I got the results by email quickly. I wanted to do another air test to see if the results were similar. I got another air testing kit from a local company. The result was very similar to the results I received. I would order another kit from them.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos was commonly used in cloth wiring, but not all types of cloth wiring contain it. The age, condition, and appearance of the wiring can provide clues as to whether asbestos is present or not, but the only way to know for sure if the wiring has asbestos is to have it tested.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

Amount of exposure
Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers
Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos
Genetic factors
Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

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.

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.
