Ray was great! He showed up to repair our chimney on Labor Day. The repair was not initially fixed, Ray worked on it and there was still a bit of a leak from the chimney. He came back out to water test it to see where the leak was coming from a few days later, and repaired it then. My review...

All of their works undergo a test and I didn't have any issues. It all passed. They were very responsible and very courteous. I've been using them for 3 years now and my brother uses them too.

Laid tile beautifully; however, did not test grout first. It is a LOT lighter than other grout. When asked to remove & correct, he was going to charge me more for his mistake. Did not give me a written estimate. When asked for a breakdown of charges he told me, "I'd have to charge you tax"....

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.

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

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)

Asbestos testing is conducted by collecting samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos and analyzing them in laboratories for confirmed presence.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.
