What Is Asbestos and Where Is It Found?

Asbestos was used in building materials for decades, and homes built before the 1980s are the most likely to have it. Common places include popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tile and glue, pipe and boiler insulation, roofing, siding and duct wrap. Material in good shape that is left alone is usually low risk. The danger starts when it is cut, sanded or crumbled during a remodel, fire or flood. If you need to remediate asbestos before renovation, the first step is confirming what you actually have.

Where to Test for Asbestos Before Any Work

A licensed inspector collects small samples and sends them to an accredited lab. Do not scrape, cut or sand suspect material yourself. We can help you coordinate testing so you know exactly what has to come out and what can safely stay.

Our Asbestos Removal Process

Our asbestos removal service follows a set order so every step is controlled and documented.

1. Inspection and sampling. We confirm the material, the amount and the safest plan.
2. Containment. The work area is sealed with plastic barriers, and negative air machines with HEPA filters keep fibers from escaping.
3. Removal. Materials are wetted to control dust, then carefully removed, bagged and labeled.
4. Cleanup. Surfaces are wiped and HEPA vacuumed, and air is checked before the area is reopened. See our post-remediation clearance testing.
5. Disposal. Waste goes to an approved site with records provided to you.

When material is intact and removal is not required, asbestos encapsulation seals it in place with a protective coating, which can cost less and cause less disruption.

Homes, Businesses and Emergency Situations

Attics, basements, kitchens and older ceilings are typical spots where residential asbestos removal is needed before a remodel. Offices, schools and retail spaces need the same care at a larger scale, and our environmental abatement work is planned around your schedule and your building’s occupants. After a fire or flood, damaged materials can release fibers when they are handled, and emergency abatement makes the area safe before cleanup continues. Our demolition of fire-damaged areas service works hand in hand with that step.

Homes old enough to have asbestos often have other hidden hazards too. We also handle lead paint removal, and for chemical spills or unknown substances see our hazardous chemical cleanup. Once the area is cleared, our reconstruction services can rebuild, so you deal with one team from removal to repair.

Choosing the Right Team

Comparing asbestos removal companies takes more than looking at price. A qualified asbestos removal company trains its crews, uses regulated equipment and follows state and federal rules. Property owners look for licensed asbestos removal because unlicensed work can spread fibers and create legal problems. Our asbestos removal professionals handle the full job, and as an asbestos abatement contractor we explain each step before work starts.

You may be weighing an asbestos removal contractor against a general builder, or reviewing several asbestos contractors and asbestos removal contractors to see who has the right training. A dedicated asbestos contractor keeps the work contained, and among asbestos abatement companies the difference shows in documentation. Every job includes an air check, waste records and a written report. We are also an asbestos remediation company that can coordinate with your builder or insurer, and if you only need one asbestos service, we can do just that.

Whether you call it asbestos abatement removal or abatement asbestos removal, the goal is the same: the material is out, the air is clean and the paperwork is done right. Our asbestos removal services are backed by professional asbestos removal methods that put safety first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is asbestos dangerous if I leave it alone?

Material that is intact and undisturbed is usually low risk. The danger comes when it is damaged or disturbed, which is why you should get it tested before any renovation.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

We do not recommend it. Rules for handling and disposal vary by property and project, and improper removal spreads fibers through the whole building. Ask a licensed professional first.

How long does asbestos removal take?

Small areas can be finished in a day or two. Larger jobs take longer, and we give you a schedule after the inspection.

Do I have to leave my home during removal?

Often yes, or at least stay out of the work area. We tell you exactly what to expect before we begin.
