I wanted to test my water for the lead and copper content. Andy from Ecoinspector was very prompted at scheduling the test, was very punctual and professional during testing. I received a comprehensive report a couple of days later, that was easy to understand. I will use them again! Thank you!

They started promptly at 9 and finished around 1:30 doing a very thorough job. After removing the asbestos on the pipes they painted them. At the end they did an air quality test. They were very professional and nice. We would use them again.

Asbestos subject matter experts in your state
EPA regional office
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Assistance Information Service Hotline via mail, email, or phone
EPA’s Asbestos Ombudsman via phone or fax

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.

When asbestos fibers become airborne, they enter a person's respiratory system. These fibers scar and damage the lungs and often lead to serious cancers like mesothelioma. Like many dangers in the house, asbestos isn’t easy to see when it could be causing serious damage.
