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...

We had PerfectWater install a purification system in our home costing us just under $8K. This system never functioned properly. Called for service multiple times. Our last service request in December 2024 resulted in a new water test according to PerfectWater. They pulled the sample. We never...

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 fibers can stay airborne for 48 to 72 hours, depending on the home's ventilation. Fibers can linger longer in enclosed spaces with poor airflow. Because the fibers are microscopic, they can easily remain suspended, making them difficult to detect without professional equipment.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

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.
