"From start to finish, my experience with Rogers Basement Waterproofing was the the kind of experience we all hope for when hiring a professional. I contacted Rogers initially to get an idea of how to start addressing external moisture issues around my home’s foundation. My plan was to start by having new downspout/sump drainage lines installed, but my goal was to find a trusted company I could have confidence in for addressing future foundation/basement issues that are inevitable in aging homes. Shortly after my initial call, Nick contacted me. At our appointment he arrived promptly and took the time to listen to all my concerns. He was so knowledgeable, patient, and easy to communicate with. He answered my millions of questions, and I never felt rushed or pressured. In fact, I felt so impressed with that consult that I signed a contract on the spot—something I never do—for installation of drainage lines. The day before the scheduled work, Nicole—the Office Manager—contacted me to confirm and answer any questions I might have. I did have a request concerning one of the lines, and she relayed that request as soon as our call ended. Within minutes, I was contacted by Nick that my request was noted. Nicole was so incredibly nice that it further confirmed that I’d chosen the right company. On the scheduled day, the 4 man crew arrived on the dot. Shortly afterward, Nick stopped by to see how the work was going and to see if I had any questions/concerns. The crew, Zach, Craig, Hunter, and Josh were the hardest workers ever and couldn’t have been more friendly and pleasant. All four, and Nick, went out of their way to put my mind at ease about the process. The crew are more than skilled workers, they are craftsmen. They did meticulous work and went above and beyond. While routing a line to avoid tearing up a garden bed, a huge rock had to be hacked out of the ground. It’s now a cool garden feature since one of the crew kindly offered to wash it off and haul it over to one of the garden beds! The terrific crew were so efficient that the work was completed in under four hours. You literally cannot see where the trench was dug. Last night, we had a gulley washer rainfall. My neighbors probably thought I had lost my mind standing in the street in the rain in the dark with a flashlight—but it was so great watching the rainwater pouring out of the new drainage pipe ? The entire experience with the folks at Rogers felt like I was working with family. Just amazing. I’m so happy to have found a trusted company to turn to if future foundation/ basement issues arise. Highly, highly recommend Rogers Basement Waterproofing!"

"My wife and I are very grateful to Mr. A for helping us understand the Heating and Cooling system and the regulations to have Manufactory warranty for this system. He is truly an honest and kind sellman. Because him , we decided to pay the company by check instead of credit card to give the companyextra support, wishing the company grows stronger day by day. We also thank all the staff and especially all technicians who installed the system, they are truly skilled professional technicians, very hard working together and are truly excellent. And an even bigger surprise for us was that after installing the system, the company sent a technician to thoroughly and completely check the system again and found nothing wrong before the system was turned on. My wife always tells me: the work of these technicians is flawless. We will introduce the company to our friends, family, and colleagues at work. We give the company a 5-star rating I sincerely thank you Thuy Nguyen (14)861-6382. "

"My client hired and PAID Mark to inspect a Ranch home. Word on the block is that he hates agents at his inspections and apparently hates Realtors all together. So my client and I agree that I do not go as we don't want him to be distracted since apparently it will already take 4 hours to inspect a ranch home without a basement. Instead, I call and text him to introduce myself and give my info but no response. I continue to do this over the next 10 days but still nothing and no report. My client never received the report he paid for! When I started to speak about this publicly, numerous agents chimed in to say they had similar experiences with him and he cursed at them and called them names and is just a miserable human being. This is the first inspector to act like this as all the others have welcomed me to attend the inspections and always have the report to me within 48 hrs. I feel horrible for my client because he never received the results in which he paid in full. He deserves zero stars!!! ?"

"Do not use Kustom Home Inspection for your home inspection. We utilized the company in July of 2020 to inspect a home we were in contract for. There were multiple instances where the inspector was not thorough, and or, utilized an excuse to not inspect further. For example, the inspection report stated, "Sump pump was not accessible for testing due to being sealed for radon mitigation system." The house is sealed for radon, but the sump pump is easily accessible by removing an unsecured cover. Shame on me for not inquiring further, but isn't that what I paid them $400 for?"

"I had a fairly large project, and after several estimates I was most impressed with Utmost Renovations. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of work, the professionalism of the crew, and complete focus on customer satisfaction. I met with the owner, just as represented on their website, and felt at ease immediately with his honest assessment of what was required for my project. The pricing was competitive, but now that I’ve experienced their commitment to excellence, I feel the pricing was better than competitive. If you’re looking for a top tier company that exceeds expectations, I highly recommend you give these folks a call."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Columbus, OH

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.
