"Excellent customer service, did a great job. However, paid on the job site and 5 months later have not provided documentation of asbestos abatement/air quality assessment information. Called once to request but no one got back to me."

"I knew removing the popcorn ceiling with asbestos would be expensive given all the hazardous material fees, HEPA filtration, protective gear the workers wear, and plastic sheeting to cover the walls and floor. They were right at the same price point as their competitors. The Head Guy Nate was extremely helpful on the phone giving me very down to earth advice and being completely no pressure. I appreciated how quickly they worked me into the schedule and that they even came out on a Saturday to finish the job since this is their busy season. The workers that came to the house were very knowledgeable with regards to all my detailed questions. They were courteous and very speedy Saturday getting the job done after they had prepped the room on Friday. I will be hiring them to come do the other room in our basement in a few months. I highly recommend that anyone looking for asbestos abatement use these guys."

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.

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.

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. 

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

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.
