"This company's rates were competitive, but what really set them apart was the consistent communication with us about the providing the quote, following up on booking date/time for asbestos removal, and doing the work on time. Also they thoroughly answered our many questions and requests for clarifications throughout the process. Getting asbestos removed is no joke and Envirogo was very clear about their safety protocols. Would definitely recommend."

"When I submitted a request for quotes on Home Advisor, Mr. Walker reached out to me within 5 mins to schedule an appointment to assess what was needed. When he came out, he was prompt on arrival, efficient in assessing the work, and gave me an awesome price! He completed the work 2 days after visiting my home, and did a great job. He also completed an air quality test and sent me the results with 48 hours. Do NOT go with another asbestos removal company! Breathe Easier all’s name speaks for itself! Thanks so much Brian!"

"Brian and his team are exceptional. Brian is timely and responsive in his communications. He meets his timelines by showing up and completing his work as promised. His experience and knowledge of this business is terrific. He brought to my attention that I may be eligible for a significant financial rebate because of the specific asbestos that was removed. Sharing this information and providing guidance on how to pursue the claim went above and beyond the scope of work for my project. Brian does not just show up to do a job, he is thoughtful and considers the full situation to ensure his clients receive the best work and care. It is never a good thing needing to remove asbestos, but thankfully there are people like Brian and businesses like Tolson Environmental that make the process easy. I highly recommend Brian to anyone needing this service!"

Asbestos Removal FAQs, answered by experts

if you install new siding on top of old asbestos siding, you may keep the fibers trapped, but it would not necessarily be considered encapsulation. To do so properly requires a professional, who uses a certain type of sealant that needs to be spread over the asbestos in a number of layers in order to trap all the fibers. Although you may be able to buy this sealant yourself, it is highly advised that, once you find asbestos, you call a pro immediately. 

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), hazardous waste is generally classified into four main categories:

1. Characteristic Wastes: These exhibit at least one of four hazardous traits: ignitability (flammable, like gasoline), corrosivity (can rust or decompose materials, like car batteries), reactivity (unstable and can explode, like aerosol cans), or toxicity (harmful when ingested, like lead-based paint).

2. Listed Wastes: These are specific wastes from manufacturing and industrial processes that the EPA has officially designated as hazardous. They include byproducts from processes that use solvents, pesticides, and other chemicals.

3. Universal Wastes: These are commonly generated hazardous items that are subject to streamlined regulations. Examples include batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment (e.g., bulbs), and some lamps.

4. Mixed Wastes: This category includes waste that contains both hazardous and radioactive components, making it subject to regulation by both the EPA and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Older textures may contain asbestos, requiring careful handling and professional inspection before work begins to ensure safety compliance.

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.

Typically, homeowners insurance does not cover asbestos removal or abatement. Most policies exclude coverage for pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous materials, which includes asbestos. Because asbestos is often considered a pre-existing condition in older homes, its removal is usually viewed as a maintenance expense rather than an insurable loss. However, there is a key exception: if asbestos-containing materials are discovered or disturbed due to a covered event, such as a fire or storm, your policy may cover the abatement as part of the necessary repairs. For example, if a storm damages your roof and an insurance adjuster discovers asbestos while inspecting the damage, the policy might pay for the removal cost. If removal is not covered and is outside your budget, you might consider encapsulating the asbestos. The viability of this option depends on the condition of the contaminated materials. It is recommended to speak with an asbestos abatement specialist to understand your options.
