I have an older A/C unit and they never tried to tell me I needed a new one. Instead, they quickly diagnosed the problem, fixed it, and tested it to ensure it was working properly. They then cleaned everything up perfectly and were done. Their fees and service hours are great too! Excellent...

They assessed the battery and alternator. After they charged and tested the battery, it was determined that only a starter was needed. They replaced the started and assured my daughter that they guaranteed their work. We both were very pleased. <br />

I am very pleased with the work that was done. It appears the problem areas have been addressed, though we haven't had any hard rain to give it a good test. I had asked him to provide pricing for additional work, but have not heard back. He seemed rather quiet/reserved. Maybe he was waiting...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

No, not all popcorn ceilings have asbestos, but a vast majority do. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned its use in 1973, although it still may have been used up through the early ‘90s. But, in general, homes built or remodeled before the early ‘80s likely utilized materials with asbestos. That being said, a professional test is the only way to determine for sure.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

Clear the area for access and inform the testing team about the building’s history and renovations.

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.

Costs depend on test type, home size, number of testing locations, and whether follow-up testing is required.
