Customers say: Quick response

"I had just joined Home Advisor and was looking for someone who could help me get the material in my attic tested, and if necessary, abate any asbestos that was found. Before I even had a chance to look at the suggested companies I got a call from Mike F. of Central Valley Environmental. He had seen my listing. was in Merced and offered to come by. He got a sample from my attic, told me who to send it to and how to send it. I was lucky, the analysis of my sample showed no asbestos. But if it hadn't, I would have hired CVE to do the work. Mike made it so easy for me. Thanks!"

"Needed to have asbestos containing shingles removed for a siding project. The sales folks, specifically Rudolpho, were very helpful. The job was done quickly and for a fair amount. Hope not to need them again but would highly recommend."

"The home we purchased was a bank foreclosed property. The home has many problems, a lot of them cosmetic. Mr. Standish e-mailed us the report within 2 days and mailed us a very nice bound report with a CD with the report and the full sized pictures from the report. We choose to use Standish Inspections based on his reputation and he turned out to be a true professional."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

Federal and state grants for asbestos testing and removal do exist and can help homeowners with the associated costs. In some cases, local housing grants help homeowners who have to remove asbestos as part of home repairs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also provides funding to help schools manage asbestos removal, but it doesn’t extend to homeowners. 

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

Performing abatement for asbestos means the contractor removes or encapsulates the asbestos to protect your family’s health. The term abatement refers to the steps required to keep asbestos fibers from moving into the air. Understanding what asbestos abatement is can help you discuss the case with your contractors by understanding the jargon they use. 

Since the EPA partially banned asbestos in 1989, it is no longer used to manufacture new siding in the United States; production had largely ceased by the early 1980s. Many other countries, such as Canada, Iceland, and Denmark, also have bans on asbestos. However, asbestos siding is still present in many homes built before the late 1980s. The only definitive way to know if your siding contains asbestos is to have it professionally lab-tested.
