"Very thorough home inspection. My realtor recommended them, and they didn't disappoint! Excellent work on radon mitigation. My building contractor came to the house, and he saw the work. He also said they did a fabulous job."

"Rick is the best person I've dealt with on this issue, and I've contacted / interacted with about 4 providers. Everyone else was very excited to tell me how I needed to have a "mold test" which is a bunch of garbage. This guy never even mentioned a mold test; he actually just came to the premises and gave it a thorough search, along with consulting me on all of the potential flaws there could be in the home. What you expect a great mold inspection to be, this guy delivers. He gets the job done, and he helps you out as the home owner to figure out what you need to do about your mold. He found mine, and even diagnosed another problem that was NOT mold."

"The company I work  for (Complete Remodeling Solutions) was completing a job at Ramsey Library UNCA, and facing the final inspections from both health and the university rapidly. With only 1 day to complete the cleaning of the project which included; Dusting, sweeping, mopping and removal of paint and drywall mud from the floor, washing of 35 ft. high windows (7 of them), polishing of a massive amount of stainless steel, the cleaning out of and scrubbing of 4 refrigeration units, and the steam-cleaning of a large entrance area. Our superiors (and their superiors), doubted HIGHLY that the site could be cleaned within the day. Not only that, but it was already 4 PM. Which meant whoever was going to clean it had to work overnight, IF they could even get it done. Having found 2 Clean Floor Care and Restoration on Angie's List, and seeing their high rating, I called them. I spoke with Jake, explained the details, and was given the assurance that the job would be completed to satisfaction. His crew showed up around 4:30, and got to work. Mind you that there was also other crews there finishing their work, in the way of 2 Clean. No complaints were expressed about the fact they had to work around other people (who would inevitably create more dust while they were cleaning), and simply did what they could while others worked. I left the job-site at 11 and the guys had cleaned a good bit, but had a ways to go. When I showed back up at 8 AM, the place was IMMACULATE. I was honestly impressed, but not surprised. The confidence of the team gave an assurance to me of their abilities, and that confidence was well placed.  <br /> In this business, no matter if you're talking about drywall crews, electricians, whatever; finding competent, reliable, professional and efficient crews are hard to come by. That said, I am very grateful to have found a company I know that I can count on in the future to make SURE that my job-sites are presented to my clients at the highest level of cleanliness and presentation.  <br /> It was a pleasure to work with these guys, and they will certainly be used again in the future. <br />"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Asheville, NC

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.
