Zompa installed a high-efficiency boiler and installed floor heating. When tried for the 1st time, it did not work although they claimed that they tested the system after installation. They came THREE times and could NOT fix the problem. I noticed that his piping had a design error that...

Matt, the technician who serviced my floors, did an amazing job. He was so gen-tile on the area rugs, gave special attention to the grout between kitchen tiles, and even did a soil test on my sectional. I will definitely be calling them again to clean the furniture!

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

I thought I was actually having the mold "tested". All he did was look at pictures we took and said "yes, that's mold", He checked humidity levels but didn't take samples. He said if he had taken samples his visit wouldn't be free. I thought that was misleading, since I googled...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos itself does not typically leak from a roof. However, if an asbestos-containing roof is damaged or deteriorated, it can release asbestos fibers into the air. This can occur when the roof is disturbed, such as during maintenance or repairs, or due to weathering over time. Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can be harmful to health, so it is important to address any damaged asbestos roofs promptly and safely.

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.

Services test for allergens, mold, VOCs, and carbon monoxide levels to ensure a healthy indoor environment.

If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you’ll want to call in an asbestos removal expert to evaluate the situation.

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.
