"It went great. I called the company to schedule a time for them to make an estimate. Jeff came out and looked at the flooring, asked several questions, and provided me with proof of the company's licensing to remove asbestos materials. He gave me a detailed overview of how the process would go. The thing I appreciated the most was that he told me that this was something my husband and I could do ourselves if we wanted (we're redoing our kitchen almost entirely by ourselves), and told me step-by-step how he would do it. I really respected that and appreciated his forthrightness. My husband and I talked it over and decided to go with their company anyways, as we have plenty of things to work on and would prefer the peace of mind knowing someone with experience was handling it. They scheduled a time to complete the job a lot sooner than I had even hoped, and showed up promptly at the time we'd agreed on. Jeff was there again to oversee the job and introduced me to the workers. He kept me updated through the day with a few texts on how things were going and was able to finish the job entirely by mid-afternoon. The air result tests came back clean, and we're thrilled to feel safe in the kitchen again. I'd definitely recommend this company to anyone."

"After the inspection and report, Cathy and Keith patiently educated us in layman's terms regarding the types of spores in our home and the differences between them. They expertly answered hundreds of our questions during multiple conversations and emails. They went above and beyond the scope of their proposal without requesting extra compensation. LRC gave us perspective during a vulnerable time when many could have taken advantage of our position. We were able to make informed, competent decisions regarding remediation based on their expertise and generosity. Later, we hired LRC as expert witness to testify at our arbitration. We won more than $169,000 due in part to their findings and testimony. We interviewed several companies before choosing LRC and got a feel for the industry and their practices. We absolutely recommend LRC without hesitation."

"Buyer beware.  Although the audit results were impressive, what followed was mind blowing.  The whole audit was geared to support the sales pitch of the auditor's products and services.  Subsequently, three other environmental inspections revealed totaly different conclusions for existing conditions in my home. <br />"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Youngsville, NC

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.
