Frankly, because it had been so long ago I expected this was going to be a difficult process to resolve. Now, I'm not going to say it was fast resolution as it did take time. First, they wanted me to pay for a leak test @ $600. I was pretty clear where the leak was coming from as it only leaked...

Had to call them back to clean up the mess they left behind. They rushed the cleanup and buried several sprinkler heads. I also had to insist the plumbing pressure test be done before final payment. The overall work was good and I would recommend them but you need to ensure all the work is done.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

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.

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 is absolutely cancerous. In fact, around 4% of all lung cancer cases are the result of asbestos exposure. This is why we recommend a full, professional removal and cleaning of any asbestos found in your home. If you are unsure whether there is any present, you should call a pro who will inspect your property.
