"BDS came out and inspected. Let me know that I didn't have the type of asbestos that "had" to be removed. He said the insulation had been done very well and didn't need to be removed. He also told me that if I had concerns about the stability of the insulation that I could have an air quality test done on an annual basis."

"Mike Haman was fabulous. He came on time with his coworker to remove 60 feet of asbestos steam pipe insulation along with about 20 joints which had exposed asbestos. He isolated the area with a plastic doorway screen from the rest of the house. A third party examined the asbestos level in the air when he was done and it well below permissible levels. He even removed some asbestos containing floor tile for me for free and then showed me how to set up the joint fittings ( elbows, tees, etc) for the new fiberglass insulation. His quote was the best of all of the four bids I got and service was excellent. I would recommend him to anyone. I suggest that anyone who wants asbestos removed clear the area completely of any items."

"<p>I can't begin to express my satisfaction with this company.  When a major flood damaged my entire basement, it was necessary<br /> <br /> to replace electricity, dry wall and carpeting. All went well until I tried to have my carpet put down, it was then I was advised that the tile was lined with asbestos.  I had no idea where to begin.  My daughter had a similar experience and researched companies for me.  When she found Mike, she called me and said this was the one.  She was absolutely righ<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Mike arranged to come to the house at my convenience.  He examined the basement and explained what had to be done and the process.  He was professional, courteous and patient.  He answered all my questions and assured me that he could and would clean my worries away.  He was true to his every word, a man of integrity.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Once the job was completed not only did I receive a certificate of the clean-up; but that the air in the basement was clear of any asbestos was well. To my surprise and to the honor of this man, when I went to pay for the services Mike returned a portion of the payment indicating that the clean-up did not require the time he originally thought it would take, so  he returned a portion.</p> <p>I don't know of many or any companies that have that kind of integrity.  </p> <p>I would highly recommend this company to all.</p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <br />"

"I am so impressed with Tri-County Home Inspection Services.  They were early to the appointment, very friendly and professional.  They took their time and explained to me room by room and reviewed with me each appliance (furnace, water heater, fridge, stove) what they found, what they didn't find (which was good).  I received their review that same night which is very thorough. <br /> I can't write this enough, I am very pleased with their inspection services! <br />"

"It was frustrating. I bought the service because of an Angie's List promotion. When I received the package I opened it and saw what it was and set it aside. I was very busy and planned to get to it in a few days. I had to go out of town for a few days, then I had a ridiculous string of bad luck with multiple car breakdowns. I have a neuromuscular disease so everything I do is very difficult and exhausting. With so much happening, I forgot about the test kit. Then after a couple weeks I get a call from Mold Lab asking about the kit saying it was past the due back date and they were going to charge me $25 a day late fee on the pump. I was stunned! I opened the box and there was nothing inside saying it was due by a certain time. I re-read the Angie's List ad and there was nothing there either. The lady was very rude and kept interrupting me saying the same things over and over like maybe I would finally understand if she kept repeating it. I understood the first time. She wouldn't listen to understand I didn't know about the deadline but now that I was made aware of it I would do the testing that day and ship it that day. What else could I do? That wasn't good enough she had to repeat her lecture a few more times. After sending it in I was told I would receive a text when it was complete and I would receive an email with results within a few days. After a month I called and the same lady answered. She claimed to have sent an email, but didn't know the date and told me to check my junk mail folder. I checked everywhere but had no record of it. I explained I hadn't received the text either, she had no response for that. So she sent an email while we were on the phone and I received it immediately. I printed out the results but without the proper training or experience in laboratory sciences it was basically useless."

"Environmental Testing & Research Laboratories, Inc. sent a package with 2 vials and instructions for collecting the samples.  I collected the samples as instructed, completed a questionnaire, and returned the sample vials as instructed.  A week or two later they sent the analysis.  Everything went as expected.  There were no problems. <br />"

"Inquired about radon testing. They provided great info and options in regards to getting a radon test kit from the County or having them do it. They recommended I go the kit from the County route unless I was trying to sell the house. That is amazing that they didn't push me to get service through them."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Detroit, MI

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.
