"Owner very knowledgeable and professional. Team showed up on time and completed work per original timeline (they were also very personable). Partial attic tough area to work in but they did a great job getting rid of all the mold and sealing it."

"Service was fine. My house was washed. A year and a half later charged $200 because I didn't do more business with them. Had a tech out too as they continuously called me to schedule service making me believe had purchased an annual power wash. Guy came out said it was just a sales call so I sent him away. If I'd been informed while he was here that it I didn't act before a certain date I would be charged I would've been able to make a more educated decision."

"Apparently this man's job to break into the home of the seller, unannounced and without permission or an appointment. Then he will condescend you and forbid you to make the simplest of improvements to your own home you're trying to sell. Even though they are the improvements that the buyer asked you to make. They should change the name of the company to "Boardman Home Invasion" as it seems more accurate to me. Anne Is amazing though, 10 stars for Anne's Management! How doe she do it? She's basically the Michael Jordan of managers."

"The inspection process was seamless from scheduling to implementation! I like that the company has a 24/7 call line. You can always get in touch with a representative of the company. I was a little disappointed at the knowledge level of the call rep when I initially called. I inquired if the inspector would be going into the attic since there was an attic access as well as a couple other questions. They had to put me on hold to go verify what would be accomplished. I appreciate tho, that there was someone to answer the questions. We chose to have the home, wood destroying insect, mold, and radon inspections performed. Bobby arrived promptly and introduced himself. This next fact may seem weird, but the fact that he arrived looking clean, neat, and not smelling of offensive smoke or BO was a major plus to me! Thank you, Bobby! He asked me if I had any particular concerns about the home on which he should concentrate. He outlined for me how he would strategically approaching the inspection. He went right to work. He would always answer my questions thoroughly, never seeming annoyed that I was interrupting his process. He inspected the home thoroughly performing challenges of functionality of the home. For example, he ran the water of the basement shower and utility tub for a prolonged amount of time to check the flow of the water out of the house. Well, he detected that before too long, the water started backing up. He also confirmed our suspicion that the tiles on the basement floor were asbestos based. He also identified that a recent tub drain repair had been poorly accomplished. On the good side, he reassured us that the roof still had some longevity to it. He also reassured us that there were no critters in the attic, the attic was well insulated and the insulation was not asbestos! At the conclusion of the inspection, he reviewed the points of concern with me. He was able to offer insight on repairs or ways to correct problems, always being honest if he was not knowledgeable on a particular item. I appreciate that honesty. On the flip side, he seemed very versed on the items we were reviewing. Thank you, Bobby for a great inspection. Because of items found and items that would take more money to correct than we were willing to invest, we decided not to continue with the purchase."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in New Castle, 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.
