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!

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

Professional asbestos testers or environmental consultants are the best people to call to test for asbestos. An asbestos testing company specializes in collecting and analyzing samples and will be the most qualified to do the job for you. An environmental consultant may not specialize in handling asbestos, but should still have the knowledge and know-how to safely collect a sample and send it off for analysis.

If your home was built before 1989 and still has original vinyl, there’s a high probability of asbestos mixed into the old flooring, which can harm you and your family if it’s disturbed from removal. If you suspect that you have asbestos, you’ll want to call in an asbestos removal expert to evaluate the situation.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), you should contact the following officials to report a case of asbestos exposure:

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

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.
