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...

It continues to trip occasionally, but is better. He also discouraged us from installing pendant lights in the kitchen, which would have required tearing a lot of the ceiling out (textured, we'd never have matched it), but suggested some options. He also explained that, while there were no GFCIs...

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.

Damaged tiles can release asbestos fibers into the air. Anyone in the surrounding area who may inhale the fibers will have them settled in the lining of internal organs. Over time, it may lead to serious health conditions such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.

The only safe way to prevent these conditions is to avoid exposure to asbestos at all costs, even for a short period of time.

If you have an older electrical system with fraying wires and other signs of damage, removal may be the best course of action. When asbestos begins to break down, it's more likely to become airborne, increasing the risk of health issues when it's inhaled.

However, if the system is in good condition and doesn't have visible signs of wear or damage, leaving it alone may be the safest course of action. An asbestos abatement and removal professional can help you determine the best way to proceed.

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

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.
