"They arrived as scheduled. Setup quickly and totally cleaned about 800 sq. ft. in less than an hour. They removed stains that I thought were permanent. I was considering buying new carpeting because it looked to bad. Now I have carpeting that looks like new. I wouldn't use any other carpet cleaning company."

"David and his team did a fantastic job for us. We had a large mold build up in our attic, and David's team did a wonderful job at remediating the problem even though it was a very difficult work space. They always showed up on time, worked hard, were respectful to us and our living conditions, and finished the job within the tight time schedule that we had requested."

"These guys are well trained, experienced, and professional. They were punctual and did an excellent job. They were very efficient in how they used their time. They were a pleasure to be around. They did their work in a neat and tidy manner, cleaning up after themselves. They thoughtfully removed my furniture and stacked it on one side of my two car garage so I could still get my car in at night. They are two brothers who are local and are building their business. Local entrepreneurs, the kind of people I like to support. They worked directly with my homeowners insurance."

"I used CERL on a number of mold inspections and for testing. They did great at providing results needed and going general inspections prior to home purchase. My only recommendation is to call CERL to review the report with them as they are difficult to understand and they are careful how they word things as they have to be careful working in Santa Fe with some much property bought and sold. I plan to use them for future testing that I will need done. I feel they are the best in town and well work the cost of the mold inspection to know what your purchasing."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Los Alamos, NM

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.
