Things went great actually and they were really good. There was no charge because they just came out and looked at it. They were just timely and very friendly. They moved quickly throughout and just very professional. I chose them to have a look at the mold testing because of their ratings.

This is a relatively simple operation, and I've had it done a few times in the past. This is almost always a one man operation, and here's what it involves: 1.) Remove a drain cleanout plug. 2.) Insert the auger line and run the line out about 75 ft, and bring it back in. 3.) Replace the plug....

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Asbestos is absolutely cancerous. In fact, around 4% of all lung cancer cases are the result of asbestos exposure. This is why we recommend a full, professional removal and cleaning of any asbestos found in your home. If you are unsure whether there is any present, you should call a pro who will inspect your property.

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.

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.

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.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.
