They were very professional from the get-go. They did not need to come to my house to test the water. When you think of it, they should already know the water quality here (Vancouver WA). They had 4 quotes premade value, good, better, best. Prices seemed reasonable (in 2024) compared to one...

It turned out excellent. It was a very comprehensive testing. He tested for leakage to show what type of leakage the house had. He also tested for heating sensing throughout the house. It was well priced for the big deal. The gentleman was very professional and I really appreciated that.

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

Often found in old insulation, tiles, and roofing materials in pre-1980s buildings.

Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.
