But as long as the package has a test card (to confirm that that lack of color change is truly showing "no LBP found"), at least you have a valid test.I thought that the EPA does not recognize those test kits for use on certain surfaces, and that chips would have to sent to a testing lab for those surfaces ...Plus you now will have to disclose all test results - especially any surfaces that tested positive for LBP - to future tenants / buyers ...

It is a slab foundation, so I would assume it would need trenching (perhaps the water lines could run through the ceiling, but sewer would need to be in the floor).I like everything else about the house, but had originally written it off because of the bathroom issue.

I have a small time handyman who I had tasked to paint my house, install closet hardware, install finishing material, as well as paint the foundation of my house.These items were supposed to be completed Friday and have been pushed back from saturday, to monday, and up to now still not completed.

She said just fill it with concrete, it'll be fine.A foundations man that knew the area told me about it, and said it might cost about 3K, but more likely, 25 or more.
