"Mike & his team were FANTASTIC, professional, & easy to work with. Our contractor found asbestos in the basement tile & said I needed to remediate it before they can go any further with my flooring project. Naturally I went into panic & called several companies. When I spoke with Mike he eased any concern I had and was very thorough and explained all of my options. He also was able to come out right away and get a crew in my house that very weekend and have it removed in a day (talk about great customer service). The day of my scheduled appointment the crew showed up and not only were they professional, they walked me thru the entire process and called me throughout the day to inform me of their progress. Once they were complete they air tested the area to ensure it was safe for my family & I to return home. Before we got home they cleaned their entire working area as if they were never here. They also walked me thru the area and WOW-WOW-WOW! The floor looked incredible! They also provided an in depth report of the remediated tested area. I’m still in awe of how professional, efficient and quick they worked. I would recommend this Company over and over! If you’re looking to have asbestos removal, look no further. What else can I say other than I’m extremely happy with their level of service and job performed. Thank you Mike & team!"

Asbestos Removal FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Whether or not to buy a home containing asbestos is ultimately a decision for the homebuyer, and there are several things to consider. When in good condition and contained, asbestos is unlikely to present a health risk—it’s when those tiny fibers are loose and airborne that they become a problem. Consider any renovations you plan on doing to the home that could disturb existing asbestos and the cost of removal. If an inspection finds asbestos in a home on the market, you could negotiate with the seller for a lower price, though this isn’t a sure thing.

In the 1980s, the use of asbestos in house siding materials underwent a significant decline, ultimately being phased out by the mid-1980s to early 1990s. This change was largely due to a growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with asbestos exposure, particularly its link to lung diseases and cancers. With increased public concern and regulatory agency involvement, building codes and regulations were updated to restrict the use of asbestos in construction materials. 

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in New York, those handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. The mandates dictating the necessary training or certifications vary based on state and local laws.

Asbestos siding can be dangerous, but it doesn't necessarily pose a health risk if it's in good condition and left undisturbed. The danger comes from inhaling asbestos fibers, which can be released if the siding is damaged, deteriorating, crumbling, or disturbed during remodeling or repairs. Exposure to these airborne fibers can cause serious, life-threatening diseases like asbestosis (lung scarring), mesothelioma (an aggressive cancer), and other lung cancers.

If your asbestos siding is intact, the general recommendation is to leave it alone. However, if it's damaged or you plan to renovate, it's crucial to handle it safely. Due to the significant health risks and the difficulty of containing the fibers, it is not recommended to perform any asbestos work yourself. Instead, you should hire a professional asbestos removal company to inspect, repair, encapsulate, or remove the material. The presence of asbestos can also negatively impact your property's value.
