They came, the did a compression test and other testing. They told me what was NOT cause of the leak. Then they told me where leak was and how to address it. I was able to confirm the repairs right then. All was completed within a week. Nice job!

Testing was completed and Drew and companion provided me the much needed details for me to make decisions. In short, the plumbers came out to verify if I had a leak following structural work of 21 piers. Unfortunately, the leak was validated and step 2 is for them to research the source of leak....

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....

I would highly recommend Mold Inspection Sciences. Cary was friendly, professional, and thorough. He explained what was going on, as well as my options. Not a fun issue to deal with, but they certainly made the testing portion easy to deal with.

Paul the technician came and asked a lot of great questions. We discussed issues I had been having with the pool cleaner and he concluded it would be a good idea to do the bucket test again rather than just go ahead and do the leak testing and charge for what he thought would be inconclusive...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos itself does not typically leak from a roof. However, if an asbestos-containing roof is damaged or deteriorated, it can release asbestos fibers into the air. This can occur when the roof is disturbed, such as during maintenance or repairs, or due to weathering over time. Exposure to airborne asbestos fibers can be harmful to health, so it is important to address any damaged asbestos roofs promptly and safely.

DIY kits are available, but professional testing ensures accurate results and compliance with regulations.

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

Many homeowners may never have to test their homes for asbestos. Asbestos particles are only dangerous if they become airborne. If you plan to do construction or notice damage to piping, siding, or drywall, you should hire a specialist to test for asbestos.

If you plan to remodel your home or have any concerns, you should have your home tested for asbestos just to be safe.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.
