They tested a wall sample for me for asbestos content. They were timely and reasonably priced. I will certainly use them again.

After they did the diagnostic test. The hot tub no longer worked at all and they said the motor was old and needed to be replaced. Before they came out the hot tub was leaking a little bit, but not too badly, after they worked on it and left the leak had become much, much worse than it was...

In general the report was good, but many of the recommendations were fairly generic, and they did not do some tests I thought they would. Specifically, when doing the blower door test they did not use a smoke test to identify specific areas where air leakage was most significant, which was one...

Percolation Tests questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on the number of samples, property size, and lab processing fees.

No, you do not have to worry about new popcorn ceilings having asbestos. All residential building materials used since the mid-1980s stopped including asbestos, so new popcorn ceilings have no risk of asbestos. You can still create a textured drywall ceiling with a popcorn texture if you like, but new techniques have no risk of adding asbestos.

If you suspect exposure to asbestos, prioritize seeking medical advice by informing your healthcare provider about the potential exposure with clear details about the circumstances that led to the exposure. Regular health check-ups and screenings if you work in high-risk industries or live in a home with asbestos are essential for early detection of any asbestos-related conditions. You should also consider consulting occupational health experts or legal professionals for guidance on potential next steps and preventive measures.

There are products that still contain asbestos, but they were typically installed decades ago. Common places where you may still find asbestos-containing materials are in siding, wrapped around ductwork, in older appliances (i.e., stove and gravity furnaces), and in floors. Asbestos was primarily used as an insulator, so anywhere in an older home where you lose heat is where you will most likely find asbestos.

Asbestos testing is conducted by collecting samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos and analyzing them in laboratories for confirmed presence.
