With 30 years of hands-on experience in asbestos removal and mold remediation, I treat every customer's home as I would my own—with fairness and honesty. We provide free estimates along with straightforward, honest advice. Typically, we can schedule services within a week, depending on the situation. We understand that environmental issues feel like emergencies, and we respond with the urgency they deserve.

"We bought a property that had a burnt out apartment building on it. Allied recommended a few companies to sample for asbestos so it could be demolished and removed the asbestos for us. Great company to work with, Will knows his stuff."

"My experience was great with this company until today. They came out at the end of September, messages I have is September 25th, but not 100% sure on the actual date they came out and completed demo. Long story short, we had a bad experience with our insurance adjuster at our insurance company. Keep in mind, that I had kept Grant informed every step of the way of this process. The lady that was helping us was either fired or quit, which delayed our claim being approved. We waited a couple of weeks, trying to get in touch with our adjuster to see what was going on. We were finally assigned a new adjuster. I had to send her everything as she didn't have any of the documents/pictures/information on the claim. I let Grant know that we were assigned a new claims adjuster and that they stated it was approved. The insurance company just had to wait for them to sign off. This was Thursday, November 7th. Yesterday, November 12th, I was able to finally sign the docs with the insurance company. They stated we would have the check 5-7 business days. Again, I let Grant know via text of all this communication. Today, he called me and was extremely aggressive on the phone. Stating that I am past due 30 days and that I need to pay him immediately. Stated there is interest on my invoice that I need to pay. I wasn't aware that I would be charged interest, or I would have paid Rapid Dry a long time ago. The way he spoke to me on the phone would bring the negative side out of anyone that he talked to this way. He stated that he was extremely busy and that he had taken over 2K phone calls and didn't know if he had talked to me or not. My issue is that I have been communicating with him this entire time that we were having issues with our insurance company, and he didn't say anything about the invoice accumulating interest. I have text messages showing that I have been keeping him updated on the status of the claim. I will never use his company again nor will I EVER refer them to anyone. Not because of the work that they did, because this was good, but merely due to how he spoke to me and how aggressive he was on the phone when he just called me. Grant literally was screaming at me. After 10 minutes of a phone call with someone yelling at you and being aggressive, I think about anyone would react to this. I am extremely taken back at the way he handled himself and represented the company in the way he called me and how aggressive he was."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

The EPA broadly defines hazardous waste as any waste that could pose a danger to humans or the environment. More specifically, it includes any material that could combust or explode under normal temperatures and pressure, as well as materials that are toxic or corrosive. Some common household hazardous waste products include aerosol cans, paint cans, old tires, medical supplies, unused medications, fire extinguishers, cleaning solutions, and lawn care products.

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

If present, abatement action, including removal, sealing, or enclosure, should be planned per local regulations. Proper consultation with a professional is key.

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. 

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of asbestos pipe insulation in certain applications in 1975. It released further bans in 1989 and 2019. While asbestos pipe insulation was common from the 1930s to 1970s, its use fell off after the 1970s due to public concern and the EPA's actions.
