This pro did what I needed - he hung my roller shades. I told him I didnt have chang, he took the money & put it in his pocket. Than when I contacted him later to let him know they wouldn't roll up, he got defensive, said he tested them & that he'd come back by. I haven't...

This review will end up being a 2 part review. First, East TN. Plumbing Solutions/Mike, came out on the same day I called, yippee! Once here Mike reviewed the problem n it turned out NOT to be a leak at the main water line but a faulty faucet next to the main water line that developed a small...

They were very professional and understood the water problems for East Tennessee. We had a 3rd party water test and had talked to a few other professionals before we selected Advanced Water. So we had some knowledge. AWS was good to work with and we have ready recommended them to others.

Sander's Plumbing did a great job. Now, a year later, I have called them again to replace my hot water heater, which is 28 years old. And because he knows I prefer things made in the USA, he recommended one actually built in Tenn. He said he would also perform a water test and let me know if I...

My experience with them was very good. They did the test and part of it was testing the temperature of the air coming out of the indoor vents. They did that and said that everything was operating as it should and I was good to go. They came out in the fall as part of a package that I'd purchased...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

Damaged tiles can release asbestos fibers into the air. Anyone in the surrounding area who may inhale the fibers will have them settled in the lining of internal organs. Over time, it may lead to serious health conditions such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The only safe way to prevent these conditions is to avoid exposure to asbestos at all costs, even for a short period of time.

If you know your popcorn ceiling has asbestos, you should not attempt to clean it. It simply is not possible to learn how to clean asbestos safely without potentially releasing microscopic fibers into the air that could lead to severe illness in the future. Avoid disturbing or cleaning the ceiling until the asbestos removal company can get rid of the popcorn ceiling.
