Don was very helpful! He took his time to explain the process of the air mold test and what the outcomes would be. He's very professional - I highly recommend! Thank you!

Well, until I receive the written report I will not really understand how all this lead inspection really works. One week to wait for reports seems rather long since it affects my tenants and my pay. As a lab director myself I have to wonder where they send the tests needed

Their price was lower than others. Until they added in the water test. Not sure if it was the lab charge, the business, or both. Though it's nice to know what's in your water.

The guy showed up and did the test. Although since it was October and only 72 degrees outside the test was not very accurate as the equipment did not have to run very hard to get to the temperture I set inside the house. If doing this test with Aire-Serve make sure it is done on a hot day in...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on the number of samples, property size, and lab processing fees.

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.

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

Asbestos testing takes place in two stages—collection and lab testing. Collection can take less than 20 minutes if a professional manages to get a direct sample. If air samples are required, then the pro will set up a testing device and return to collect it. In both cases, the sample is sent to a lab and results are confirmed or denied usually within one to two days.

If you have an older electrical system with fraying wires and other signs of damage, removal may be the best course of action. When asbestos begins to break down, it's more likely to become airborne, increasing the risk of health issues when it's inhaled.

However, if the system is in good condition and doesn't have visible signs of wear or damage, leaving it alone may be the safest course of action. An asbestos abatement and removal professional can help you determine the best way to proceed.
