"He responded to my initial call promptly, and an appointment was set up for the next week. He arrived at the right time and brought in protective mats to walk through the house. Work was done professionally, and he took time to explain what he did and how the system worked. The final bill was the price he had quoted to me. He left a radon test kit for us to submit for determining the radon levels in our home. I would highly recommend American Radon Solutions for anyone who has questions about radon. <br />"

"I can't say enough about how professional they are.  I met the regional manager at the property and he explained what we were looking for and how he would test for radon. He also explained how their system worked and how it might be implemented if there was a problem. The test results are evaluated by a 3rd party testing company so I knew the results would be accurate and wouldn't be influenced by SWAT Environmental.. <br /> The tests came back positive with fairly high levels of radon (over 80 PiC/L).  James came out a second time and explained how they would install the system and retest, guaranteeing that they would get the radon down below 4 PiC/L  They scheduled the installation within a week.  The installation technician, Sean, was unbelievable.  He was neat, courteous and did a fantastic job with the installation. All holes were clean and neat, the exterior work was excellent and they even took the pipe up through the overhang to the roof - minimizing the visual impact of the system on the home.  The pipe and fan system were painted to match the gutters and really fit in with the rest of the house. <br /> The system brought radon levels down to 30 PiC/L but not enough to resolve the issue.  The house is unusual construction - it's on a two level slab and the floors and ceilings are beam and plank construction - no joist cavities.  The house was originally built and owned by an architect so the construction is unique and unlike any other house we've seen. I'm not surprised we had problems getting the radon levels down on the first try.  The amazing thing is they came back and installed a second system AT NO ADDITIONAL COST.  Their guarantee is more than just giving your money back - they continued to work on the two systems until radon level met EPA standards.  <br /> That's how amazing this company is.  There was never a suggestion of them pulling out or making excuses.  I can't say enough about how professional this company is.  I work in the construction industry and never have I run into a company that is as committed to resolving problems and great customer service as this one. If I could hire these guys to do my construction work my life would be so much easier and I'd hire them tomorrow if Sean or James wanted to jump ship. <br />"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Mechanicsburg, 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.
