"I hired Kascon to do asbestos abatement in my attic. I worked with Keith Carroll as my primary contact, he was outstanding. Keith was prompt courteous knowledgeable and extremely helpful. The back office crew was equally oppressive in assisting me with documentation billing etc. as were the gentlemen who showed up to do the abatement work. They were neat and meticulous, showed up when they said they were going to show and did a great job cleaning out not only the asbestos but contaminated wood and materials. Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone who needs asbestos abatement work done. Ask for Keith, you will not be disappointed."

"Zach from EZ environmental LLC was nothing but phenomenal. I got jammed up with the department of health with a stop work order. I needed someone to respond immediately and reaching out to Zach was the right move. I had an asbestos sample that came back positive, Zach was right on it. He connected immediately with the health department inspector and negotiated the scope of work required. He saved me huge money on the abatement, communicated efficiently and walked me through each steps of the process. His work was neat, and his price was very reasonable. He got me the clearance as he said he will. Zach made a process that could’ve been very stressful so easy. Ez environment was just great for the job and will be using them for my future project."

"I cannot fully express my gratitude to George for his service. He was at my house within 2 hrs of my call. He went out of his way to explain my mold situation in a way I could understand. He gave me quick tips and made necessary personal referrals and was so reassuring. This is a professional organization and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"I spoke to Lana when I was setting up the appointment and Gabriel did our asbestos inspection. I am very impressed with the level of service. These are very knowledgeable, hardworking and honest people. The asbestos inspection was of a 3,600 sq. ft. single family house that my husband and I are in the process of purchasing in Bergen county. Gabriel did a very thorough inspection and gave us excellent advice. I highly recommend this company."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

The legality of covering asbestos tile with new flooring can vary by location. In some cities, it is not legal to cover asbestos tile due to the risk of causing fibers to become airborne. While a professional method called encapsulation can seal the asbestos in place, it is not always an appropriate solution. In other areas, covering the tile is a legal and reasonable option to prevent fibers from spreading and reduce health hazards. However, the best long-term solution is to have the asbestos professionally and completely removed from your home.

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. The amount of time exposed, combined with the person’s tolerance for asbestos inhalation and the amount inhaled, will all contribute to health problems.

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.
