It was fine. They need to be a little more thorough. I apparently had a leak in the condenser. He just put more Freon in and wanted to see how it went. I found out later that there were other tests he could've done. I would've liked to have known then that the condenser was...

Liked having water tested for volatile Organics as this well is near gas fields and pipeline. Disappointed that Fluoride was not a standard item as it is easy to test for and can be high in ground water. Will have to get that tested elsewhere.

Percolation Tests FAQs, answered by experts

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.

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 was commonly used in cloth wiring, but not all types of cloth wiring contain it. The age, condition, and appearance of the wiring can provide clues as to whether asbestos is present or not, but the only way to know for sure if the wiring has asbestos is to have it tested.

Sampling typically takes 1-3 hours, and depending on the provider, lab results are available within 2-7 days.

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.
