They came by the next day after I called and came back the same day to complete the job. I took a chance on this one because they are listed on Angi but there are so many companies with similar names on the Web. Frank was professional and informative. The real test will be when it rains.

This business owner is very intelligent and knows his business. His wife is a fantastic person. He would educate me along the way about the airflow process and what could create mold. We're not so sure it's mold rather the water that's bad but I still look forward to getting his test...

Terrible. Did not even do all the work they put in contract. Please save yourself some headache and do not hire these guys. When I asked them about the mold testing they said I had to hire someone else to do it. Even tho they included it in their contract.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

The microscopic asbestos fibers do not cause eye irritation, throat irritation, or lung irritation. If you are inhaling fibers, you will not know it. This lack of immediate symptoms is one of the reasons why asbestos is so dangerous. You cannot know for certain if you are inhaling fibers, which is why you must wear safety gear if you could have any chance of an exposure while working.

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

Testing is crucial to identify harmful asbestos fibers common in building materials from older properties, ensuring safe environments and health.

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)

If you hire a dedicated asbestos inspector near you in addition to your local home inspector, it will cost between $200 and $800. If, however, your general home inspector happens to be certified as an asbestos inspector, they can charge you a smaller fee and tack on the cost to the home inspection. In general, home inspectors do not do physical testing, but will provide a visual assessment so you know what you are working with.
