The technicians was professional, thorough, and informative. He did a careful look, photographed potential mold, and collected samples. He advised us on how to prevent mold—which was helpful since we were having our roof replaced. The tests came back in time for any roof work.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Homes built before the 1990s may contain asbestos, but the only way to be sure is to have your home tested. Hire an asbestos testing and removal service to determine whether you have the hazardous material in your home and the best process for removing or sealing it.

No, an N95 mask will not protect against asbestos and many other hazardous materials, such as carbon monoxide, gas, chemical vapors, and other gases. You will need a respirator specifically designed to protect against asbestos. However, if you suspect asbestos is present in your home, hire an asbestos abatement professional immediately and avoid the area until they arrive for the inspection.

Common areas include insulation, flooring, ceilings, and siding in older buildings. Professionals identify potential risks.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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.
