He really put my mind at ease and went above and beyond to answer all my questions. He didn’t have to go that extra mile, but it was clear that he genuinely cared. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone in need of asbestos related services."

"Installation was scheduled soon after initial contact and was completed in a timely and professional manner. All our questions were courteously answered and instructions were given for the post installation testing. And, as hoped, the test results demonstrated that the mitigation work had lowered radon levels in our home to well below acceptable levels. We would highly recommend American radion solutions to anyone needing this type of service. <br />"

"During the past month (June 2012) I was involved in an unrelated mold remediation job in which the testing was extensive and exceedingly expensive. I have been searching around for other testing options that would satisfy a first screening process to get a handle on the types of mold and levels of concentration. Envirohealth proved to fit the bill for this service very well, and I will certainly use this testing in the future as needed, and offer a solid recommendation here."

"We were extremely pleased with Ron's professionalism and his work. The system that he installed exceeded our expectations. The unit was placed in a very discreet location. Ron maintained a neat working environment and thoroughly cleaned up after the work was completed. He was extremely responsive to any questions that we had, both before and after the installation. The system works better than we anticipated. After the unit was installed, we conducted an independent radon test and discovered that our radon numbers had dropped from a 9.0 (the number before the unit was installed) to a 0.7. Throughout the installation, Ron was honest and upfront as well as personable and trustworthy. He was also very kind to our dog! We would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking to have similar work done to their home."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Harrisburg, PA

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.
