First off, the windows themselves are very good. The installation is where the issues are. I would have saved $5000 easily if I just took off work for a couple of days and did it myself. Both the salesman and the estimator made sure that I knew that the installation crew would test for lead...

Very good plumber. Enthusiastic, honest, good price. I was very happy. I think you'd be pleased to have him (Scott) do your needed work. He came out to review the problem and try to figure out what it would take. It was really a good analysis on his part to figure this out without charging...

The contractor that FIXT hired canceled the contract. FIXT was unable to provide another contractor. I found a contractor on my own. Everyone I spoke to at FIXT was very friendly and assured me that I was their priority. I was unable to "test" their service promises.

Ryan did an excellent job. We were the buyers and he went through everything with us detail by detail of what was wrong with the home and how we could fix it (if possible). We didn't sign up for a randon test as first but on his suggestion we added that. It failed and I'm so grateful...

Greg was very professional and seemed very knowledgeable. He followed up after we received the mold test results and offered additional cleaning services. Although we didn't have him do the cleaning, if we have any issues in the future, he will be our first call.

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

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.

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

Asbestos was commonly used in cloth wiring, but not all types of cloth wiring contain it. The age, condition, and appearance of the wiring can provide clues as to whether asbestos is present or not, but the only way to know for sure if the wiring has asbestos is to have it tested.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

Amount of exposure
Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers
Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos
Genetic factors
Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

Federal law doesn’t require homeowners to disclose the presence of asbestos in their home, but some states and local municipalities may require it. That is why it’s important to test an older home for asbestos and other health hazards before moving forward with a sale.
