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...

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...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

When learning how to test for asbestos in a popcorn ceiling, you have an option for a DIY job or to hire a professional tester. You can purchase a kit at a hardware store and use personal protective equipment while doing the test. If you don’t want to risk any potential exposure to asbestos, hire a professional asbestos testing company instead.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

If you think you’ve touched asbestos, do not put on a mask. This is important because you may take the asbestos fibers on your hands on trap them in the mask. Make your way to a sink and wash your hands thoroughly. Remove any clothes and seal them in a bag, then take a shower. Call your doctor and let them know you’ve been exposed to asbestos, and make sure you see them as soon as possible. The reason you keep the clothes is in case anyone wants to confirm the presence of asbestos.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

Amount of exposure
Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers
Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos
Genetic factors
Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.
