Could not be more grateful for the Green Home team. We recently had an issue with a pipe in our house that caused some pretty bad water damage a few months ago. After getting that cleaned up, we thought all was fine until we started noticing an odd smell. Their team came out quickly and found...

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

Unfortunately, asbestos is not easily identified and can often be hidden in plain sight in your home. While it can look like fluffy fibers, tiny pieces can also appear in materials like plastic or cement, making it impossible to identify on your own properly.

Plus, since asbestos is so dangerous when disturbed, you should never root around to try and find it. This job is best for a professional who can test for the material properly.

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.

While a professional can always help, there are some common plumbing culprits you can check yourself to see if you can find the sewer gas smell. For example, you should check your water traps, sometimes called P-traps and S-traps, which are located under sink, shower, and laundry drains. The wax ring beneath the base of your toilet, which creates a watertight seal with the plumbing, could also have gone bad.

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

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