"Bluestone came out to remove an asbestos wrapping on a pipe. They arrived on time, were very cordial and professional, and finished within the specified time frame. They cleaned everything up afterwards and did a great job. They also refered me to an air testing specialist and took care of all the permit work for me. I would recommend them to anyone who needs this kind of work to be done."

"Francisco explained the removal process to my parents. He provided documentation showing he was a certified and licensed asbestos remover. He showed up on time, protected the area and monitored the air. The removal process went well and the price was fair. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone.

"Rogelio and the team were excellent and very professional. They were able to make it out in one day and complete the asbestos removal within a few hours. Every step of the process was explained to me first and I was given a chance to safely check on the progress along the way. Cost was very reasonable."

"Our asbestos removal was a nightmare. The company we hired never tested the air after the removal and claimed they did. I called Susan immediately and she had an inspector out that day to do the air test. She was kind, comforting and gave an honest price for the work done. I cannot recommend her enough. She truly is an amazing professional in this industry."

"Extremely efficiently! Tom came and reviewed the situation and gave me a bid which I accepted. They came at the agreed upon time. I left and they finished in record time and left me a beautiful grey encapsulated floor. Then when we worked on the next part of my unit we discovered much more asbestos when I’d been told it was limited to one room. I called Tom in a panic and in just a couple days he came and encapsulated the floors. I was extremely grateful."

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Berkeley, IL

The cost for asbestos removal is between $1,200 and $3,200 for average homeowners. This cost could be as little as $450 or as high as $6,000, depending on the affected area's size, the location of the asbestos, and the type of asbestos you're dealing with. 

For example, removing asbestos from attic insulation averages $11 to $25 per square foot. However, removing asbestos from an HVAC unit is more expensive, at around $35 to $55 per square foot. 

No, you should not remove asbestos from your home yourself. It is not worth risking your health, or the health of your family.

There are strict laws regarding the demolition, encapsulation, and removal of asbestos. Not only could you face potential violations, but you could be putting yourself and others at risk. If you don't have the proper asbestos removal gear, you could inhale the asbestos fibers, which could lead to lung cancer or mesothelioma.

Since DIY asbestos removal isn’t the best option to save money, there are other steps that you can take to help cut costs when dealing with this project. After speaking with your asbestos removal expert, discuss if encapsulation is an option. If it is, you can save between 15% to 25% on overall project costs over demolition and disposal. In addition, when speaking with your professional, discuss if there are any tax credits available for your removal project. Finally, check with your homeowner’s insurance to see if any removal costs might be covered. However, be aware that this is usually only applicable if the asbestos is due to a covered incident, like a tree falling into your roof.  

It can be scary to need asbestos removal from your home—you might be concerned about your family’s health, the overall condition of your house, and what repairs might need to be done. You can ask your asbestos consultant some questions to ensure your project is completed as safely as possible. Some questions to ask include:

  • Do you have the proper credentials for removing and disposing of asbestos?

  • How long will this project take to complete?

  • Have you worked on a project like this before?

  • Do you use new protective gear at each job site? 

  • How do you prevent asbestos fibers from being released into the home?

  • How big is the crew you will send?

  • How do you clean up after a project? 

The most common sign of asbestos is the age of your home. Asbestos was banned in drywall in 1977, though many products still contained asbestos until the 1980s. Indicators of possible asbestos in your home include:

  • Your home's age, if built before 1980

  • You have a home with vinyl flooring or millboard that was installed between 1952 and 1982

  • Your home has corrugated roofing

  • Your home has walls made from cement sheets

  • Your home has vermiculite insulation
