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...

The work is great, friendly workers on site, sales person (Nestor) is awesome to work with. But the reason I am not giving perfect 5 is because the engineering report and plumbing leak test have been delayed for too long and if I will not follow-up - I will not hear any update from them....

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

It is not recommended to drill into asbestos siding because doing so can release hazardous asbestos fibers into the air. The safest way to handle asbestos-containing materials is to have a professional remove or encapsulate them.

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.

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

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.
