It would be a disservice to this company and William if I did not write a review on the work he did. I had a laundry room, a half bath and whole bath that I wanted tiled and the old linoleum taken out. William did an excellent job and I was more than happy. Not only do my floors look wonderful,...

I use a well for our water, they tested my water and gave me several options to have safe drinking water. He offered me EXACTLY what I needed and did not go overkill on the system by upselling products that weren't necessary. Perfect, fair price.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

If asbestos is found, it is crucial to consult with a professional. They will provide recommendations for appropriate abatement actions, which may include safe removal, containment, sealing, or enclosure. All actions must be planned and executed in accordance with local regulations for handling asbestos.

Mold, VOCs, radon, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter are typically measured.

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

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions.
