"<p>Jeff did a great job and was extremely thorough.  He had the right equipment to test and check everything in the house, took detailed pictures, got the report back almost immediately to us and the insurance company.  Couldn't have asked for more.  </p> <p>In addition, we need an update to our wind mitigation report after we remodeled and put in hurricane windows and doors.  He came back and made a new report for a discounted price and again did an impressive job, on short notice too!</p> <p>We've seen and, unfortunately, used some lousy home inspectors in the past, so finding one who does the job right is fantastic.</p> <br />"

"Extremely professional, reliable, efficient and the best that's out there. Not knowing anything about the mold testing process, Nikhil explained everything in detail and kept me informed throughout entire process. He was honest and thorough. There are no hidden costs or agenda. Services included 3 areas plus a free swab test of an area of our choice - we chose the HVAC system and it revealed alarming numbers of mold. If we didn't have the swab test done, we wouldn't have realized the extent of the mold. We received results the same day and the reports were very professional and informative and I was extremely impressed. I will recommend them to anyone who needs this done."

"I received the testing kit in just a few short business days with all of the necessary items to perform a quick test on the mold I had present in my home. I followed the easy directions and sent the tests back in. I got the results within 5 business days or so and they were very detailed. It was helpful to learn exactly what type of mold I was dealing with and at a low cost. Much cheaper and faster than what a lot of the local companies wanted to charge me! ($450) <br />"

"Do not look further if you need help detecting mold in your home or business. I had a horrible problem going on in my home , I suspected mold and called Charlie . It was 7 o’clock at night I expected to leave a message to my surprise he answered the phone explained how he conducts his air quality tests and came out the next day because I told him I was having a problem and it I was starting to affect my breathing. He came out the next day did his test two days later I got a complete report I had an enormous mold problem I cleared up the problem ..had a new AC installed It was not installed correctly and it leaked I was afraid that mold would be a problem again he dropped everything on his Saturday to come out and retest my home He’s the real deal"

"On-Site Mold Analysis came to my apartment and examined everything. The two people who worked at my place were wonderful. They couldn't have been more helpful or professional. I plan to hire them again when my mold remediation is finished for a final report. I highly recommend this company."

"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 />"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
