We had to get our kitchen flooring tested asbestos since we are getting it redone. The testing was quick and easy. We are glad it came back negative. Thanks to Clean Environments for helping us. I really appreciate it.

I submitted an appointment request and payment on Monday. By Tuesday afternoon the test was done. Price was less than half what my irrigation company charged last time and I had to wait weeks for them. I will definitely be using Somerville Backflow for my future tests.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

Professionals use specialized equipment and techniques to detect asbestos, radon, and VOCs.

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

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)
