Test Before You Touch

Have you started or are you planning to begin a home renovation or building project? You can save lot of time and money by testing any suspicious material before touching anything.

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used in construction for many years. Asbestos fibers are very durable and fire resistant. It is also resistant to many chemicals and heat. This made asbestos a great material for all types of construction and remodeling. After asbestos became a hot topic for being dangerous, it was no longer used. However, many homes and businesses may still contain asbestos. Asbestos is safe as long as the products are in good shape, but once they start to break down, the dangers are abundant.

What Is Lead?

Lead is a hidden danger in many older homes, especially those built before 1978, when the U.S. banned the use of lead-based paint in residential properties. Commonly found in wall paint, plumbing pipes, and even soil surrounding the home, lead can pose serious health risks as it deteriorates over time. Chipping paint and corroded plumbing are major sources of lead dust and contamination, particularly hazardous to children and pregnant women. Even small amounts of exposure can lead to long-term health issues, including developmental delays and neurological damage. If you're living in or renovating an older home, it's crucial to have it professionally inspected for lead to ensure a safe and healthy environment.

What Is Mold?

Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, humid environments and can grow on a variety of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, wood, and insulation. Often appearing as black, green, or white patches, mold reproduces through airborne spores that can spread quickly when moisture is present. In homes and buildings, mold is commonly found in areas with water damage, poor ventilation, or high humidity, such as bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. Besides causing unpleasant odors and property damage, mold can pose serious health risks, especially for individuals with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. Identifying and addressing mold growth early is critical to maintaining a healthy indoor environment.

What Is radon?

Radon gas is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless radioactive gas that forms naturally from the decay of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It can seep into homes through cracks in foundations, crawl spaces, and basements, especially in areas with poor ventilation. Although undetectable without specialized equipment, radon poses a serious health risk—long-term exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. Because radon levels can vary widely from one property to another, even in the same neighborhood, regular radon testing is crucial for homeowners. Detecting and mitigating radon early helps create a safer indoor environment and protects the long-term health of your family.
