Prompt, professional and precise! Came over twice because I called them back when my second bathroom had an issue. Both times, like systematic polite engineers! Got the work done within or under an hour, and done right!

Extremely great. I had a basic mold test done and the concern for customer satisfaction that was shown not only before but after everything was complete, is what made my experience "extremely great". I would highly recommend.

The guy was very professional and took swabs of the mold to get it tested. He found mold under the kitchen sink, which was our main concern. He also said we had some in our ducts, but when the duct cleaning company came to clean our system they said it was not mold. We're happy they identified...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on property size, test types, and additional services like mold sampling.

Asbestos can be found in many building materials, especially if the materials were installed more than 20 years ago. Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) can include:

Acoustic ceiling tiles
Furnace insulation
Home appliances
Fire-retardant clothing
Cement pipe
Pipe insulation
Wall and ceiling insulation
Vehicle brake pads
Vinyl flooring
Sprayed acoustic ceilings
Stove insulation
Patching compounds
Textured paints
Roofing shingles
Siding

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

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.

Do not panic if you are exposed to asbestos. The illnesses associated with asbestos exposure are rare. If you are concerned about exposure, talk to your doctor, especially if you are having any respiratory symptoms, such as coughing or difficulty breathing. They may recommend imaging to get a view of the insides of your organs and determine if scarring or growths are present.
