"I had a worry about some asbestos pipe insulation and the inspector Jason called me within minutes of requesting quotes on here. He was already in the area and came to look at the problem, was able to diagnose the situation quickly, answered all my questions and even looked at a couple of other things that might have needed attention. Fortunately, I didn't need any professional removal, but if everyone at A & I is as quick and knowledgeable as Jason then they'd have my business 100%. "

"I carefully read and compared company reviews and have had several home inspections over the years, so I expected a quality inspection from HomeKey but even going into it with high expectations I was still surprised and impressed with the thoroughness and conscientiousness of the inspection. My inspector was Mike, and the home is an older one owned by an elderly person so there were many issues to evaluate. The inspection took much longer than the average amount of time and the report was much longer and required much more work to produce, but there wasn't the slightest hint of rushing any of it or skimping at all. I myself suggested the roof could be skipped because I was worried moss had made it slippery and figured it was surely pretty much gone anyway, but Mike bravely went up there, made sure it was safe, then took a good long while in the heat and returned with photos and an issue that requires immediate attention. Likewise, I was surprised at the willingness to enter a very cramped dirt floor crawl space and proceed around the entire foundation... out of sight into the nether reaches... but I have photographic proof! Those are just two examples out of many, but from under the floors to over the ceilings in attic spaces accessible only through ceiling hatches, Mike examined every detail, took photos, and carefully documented the entire process which resulted in a long, thorough and informative report that will make the purchase decision better informed and provide structure for repair decisions. The price of the service was pretty much the going rate, and thus reasonable. I don't see much spread in the pricing of home inspections across companies, so I would feel cautious of any company that deviated by much. The difference in value for your cost would then be the quality of the inspection. Honestly, the cost of HomeKey's inspection could have been higher and would still have been well worth it for the care, time spent, the information provided, and for the assurance having a trained eye on things can give you."

"I've used them twice for flooding events in the last four months. They were immediately responsive, coming within 12 hours of my call in both instances (which is amazing). They expertly identified the spread of the water, including inside walls and insulation, which I could not have done. They provided the equipment to dry everything out, treat for mold, and reinstall carpeting, providing us needed peace-of-mind. Their work was excellent and rectified the immediate concerns - other vendors provided time estimates of days to weeks, which would have left us with a serious mold problem. I needed to find a different vendor to diagnose and treat the underlying problems to prevent future flooding, and they do not replace removed drywall and insulation, but that's acceptable to me. I needed immediate service and received it, allowing me time to work out longer-term problems without fear."

"Jack was terrific. He listened to our issues, asked appropriate questions, offered pricing options depending on need, and came out to the house the same day to conduct tests. Explained everything clearly and was incredibly professional. Highly recommend."

"David was great! He came and explained everything that his team was going to do to remediate our wall of mold in the basement. Once the job was finished, our numbers were minuscule (that is good in the mold business). His team came in, cleaned out the mold, and CLEANED EVERYTHING afterward! I'd give them five stars just for that. I'd recommend Valor Mold to all of my family and friends."

"They came out to clean our duck on one day notice before the installation of our new HVAC system and perform a great job. They had all the proper duct cleaning equipment, they even cleaned our dryer vent for no extra charge. They were very professional, showed up on time, cleaned up work areas. Highly recommend."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Alexandria, VA

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
