"I submitted a request on HomeAdvisor, and within one minute, the owner (Bob) called me. We had a very thorough conversation about our needs and concerns. I received other contacts from more companies, but I was very impressed with Bob and REEACT from a fifteen minute phone call. Just by dumb luck, he was working in my general area, and was able to come out to do testing the next day. The day after that, the asbestos test came back positive (tiles, not mastic). The next day, he and his crew did the abatement. The day after that, the air sample came back, and we ha our house back. At all points, Bob was flexible, courteous, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. (As was his crew.) He was also VERY quick to respond to texts or emails. At every point, I felt that communication was superb, and I got detailed documents along the way. Add to that - he actually seems like a nice, personable dude too! We just wish he was more of a general contractor, because we'd hire him in an instant for a dozen other projects as well!"

"Doug Ferry provided the services. He was professional, knowledgable and took his time to explain well both testing process, as well as interoperation of final results. He is sensitive to requests, and responds fast, and is highly professional. Would I work with him again? Absolutely. Would I recommend him? Without reservations."

"Hired for asbestos testing. Jason Dua explained everything thoroughly on the phone and even managed to save me about 30% off the initial quoted price by eliminating unnecessary tests. The technician, Manny was very personable as is Jason. Manny actually showed up early for the appointment. Definitely recommend Atlas."

"Excellent work. John News was very responsive right from the start. He and his workers removed all the carpet and the asbestos floor tiles that were the culprit. They arrived on time and finished the work leaving me a clean room and a certificate indicating the air levels at completion. My daughter in law had rejected living there when she was informed by a carpet salesperson that under the carpet in the family room were asbestos tiles. Now the room is asbestos free and my family is moving in next week. Thanks so much to John News and Roe Services. I would use them or recommend to anyone who is in need of this service. ???"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Swarthmore, 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.
