"My condo is dated and lacks proper ventilation- aka no fans in the bathroom. So that combined with living in the pacific northwest is a recipe for disaster and perfect breeding ground for mold to accumulate. After dealing with a smell that would not quit for months I decided it was finally time to have my home inspected and gave Mold Masters a try. As a first time home owner I was unsure what to expect. Mold Masters was professional, honest, and guided me through the whole experience. I would highly recommend this business to anyone looking to improve their home and health."

"I called to request a bid on Monday for routine lawn care with a probability of landscaping later in the year. An appointment for an evaluator was made for the next day. I was impressed with the evaluator and had them in first place based on his presentation. I asked for the bid to be made by Friday (3 days later) and was assured that Fridays were his day of writing and submitting bids. No bid arrived. When I called on Saturday, I got voicemail. Support staff called back on Monday and I was told that a bid would arrive on Friday (11 days after the first call). I stressed that I was eager to make a decision, and that 10 days seemed like a long wait when most providers had bids in 1-3 days after the visit. The support staff said that the following Friday would be the soonest possible. I called Friday morning to verify that a bid was coming that day and was assured that it was. No bid was received by 4 pm, so I called again and got voicemail. I have not heard back from them. I don't know if it is a case of cruelty or incompetence, but it is surely unprofessional to string me along for 12 days when others took 1-3 days. If they decided not to bid, they could have told me rather than "ghosting" me and wasting my time with false promises."

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.
