"No one expects or wants to deal with asbestos removal but after removing old carpet in an old home we unexpectedly found tiles that tested positive for asbestos. Compliance Construction went above and beyond to handle this remediation even when it took much longer than they originally anticipated. James Lang in particular was incredibly responsive to our needs. I hope that I never need asbestos remediation again but if I do I will know who to call."

"I love my basement now! They removed all of the asbestos flooring, adhesive etc. and installed my new floor in 2 days. The employees were very respectful and worked efficiently. They had said 3 days but they hustled and did it in 2."

"Erik and his professional team replied to my request for services on Angi promptly. Erick came to provide an estimate the very next day. On the day of the work, the entire team arrived on time and immediately prepared the job site. The area was isolated before any asbestos removal started. Throughout the day, all work was prefessionaly done. An independent inspector arrived several hours later when the asbestos abatement was complete, and gave his approval of a successful job. Erik and his team were neat, friendly, skilled, and it was actually enjoyable to observe their teamwork and efficiency. The completed site was left perfectly clean. I give Erik and ACS 10 out of 5 stars."

"Danny was great!!! We are doing a house refi and the appraiser noted a mold like substance in the basement bathroom. I contacted Danny and e answered his phone whenever I called, and was quick to come out to test our mold. In the beginning, he explained that he only tests, does not do remediation and why it isn't good to have a company that does both together. He made this process easy to digest and feel like I wasn't going to go down a road that was an expensive scam. He thoroughly explained the test process, and even told me that it might be just an allergen, which in fact it turned out to be. He sent me a thorough report, and then let me know that the mortgage company could call him directly if they needed any clarification or didn't understand the report."

"This company was on the list of companies registered with Montgomery County. After the initial phone call, I was able to setup an appointment to coincide with the Abatement company that removed the tiles. All went very smooth and Maxximus representative was present throughout the day and explained all that he was doing. Very satisfied customer."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

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.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.
