Jonathan from PRS helped me out with actually a silica test, which is less common than mold. PRS's test was cheaper (in some cases by more than $1,000!), with a faster turnaround time for lab submission, and the team was available more immediately than all the other quotes I received. Thank...

They came when they said they would, took out the old faucet, but after putting the new one in, discovered the hot water wasn't flowing. They did some testing to rule out the causes and determined it was the new faucet. He gave me some options of what to do next--one of which was for me to go...

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...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

If you own a stereo microscope, you should be able to see the fibers. The stereo microscope often can perform magnification up to 50x. But unless you have experience viewing asbestos fibers, you may not know exactly what you are seeing. Some fibers are curly, while others are long and straight. Blue, brown, white, and gray colored fibers are all possible.

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.
