They were the only company to recommend water testing. It proved beneficial as the first leak was infact related to the roofing material. The second spot was actually mortar related and not roof related. I appreciated their honesty and how they would evaluate and solve the problem. They fixed...

The owner, Jon Eicher, was prompt given a very short timeline and when he discovered that the builder used an independent inspector advised me to save money by using their test results and not duplicate them. He showed that he had my best interests at heart.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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

Knob and tube wiring is an older type of electrical wiring that's no longer used and generally not considered safe. However, some homes still have it, or may have a knob and tube wiring system that was incorrectly modified or rigged to work with a modern electrical system. Knob and tube wiring may contain asbestos insulation, but the only way to know is to have the material professionally tested.

Bathroom tiles can contain asbestos, just the same as patio tiles or kitchen tiles. Remember that asbestos was used primarily for its insulative and fire-resistant properties, both of which are desired in a house. Before we knew asbestos caused cancers and other diseases, it made a lot of sense to include it in many different building materials, including bathroom tiles.

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.
