"DJK quickly responded to my request to remove asbestos wrap around my main water line. They not only quoted me far below a competitor, but they also were able to come and remove the asbestos in just a few days. All-in-all they made the process quick and easy."

"I was contacted by Todd from Umbrella Environmental after leaving my information for asbestos removal contractors. Todd was able to quote me from photos and information I provided him via text exchanges. This was admittedly a small job, but Todd was patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. The holidays were hectic as they often are so we sat on the quote a bit. When I did follow up I was told they had an opening for Friday, Jan 3, so I jumped on it. The crew, Steve and Heather, were thorough and professional yet had the personality to keep things light and interesting. Communication was great throughout and the invoice was for the quoted amount even though there was a bit more work involved than anticipated. I can't recommend Umbrella Environmental enough."

"Antonio was easy to get a hold of and talk to during the process of the project. He was able to answer any questions related to asbestos removal and redoing flooring. His crew is extremely knowledgable and professional. Carl was efficient with the task provided. He took the time to explain about the asbestos removal process, as well as recommendation to epoxy the basement flooring. I would highly recommend this company!"

"Great company to work with! The service was great from the beginning of the process to completion. It was easy to work with their scheduling of the project and their electronic payment system. I had lots of concerns about having the asbestos tiles removed from my basement and I had lots of questions. Harrison took the time to explain how the project would be handled, he was very patient with me in answering all my concerns so that I felt confidence in hiring EnviroGo. The crew doing the work showed up at the time they said they would and the technicians and supervisor were very personable and professional in explaining how they would prep the area to do the containment. I was happy with the respect they showed to my property and the finished work. I received the Air monitoring test results about 24 hours after the work was completed and all was good. I would hire EnviroGo again if I had another project that needed this type of work."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Federal and state grants for asbestos testing and removal do exist and can help homeowners with the associated costs. In some cases, local housing grants help homeowners who have to remove asbestos as part of home repairs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also provides funding to help schools manage asbestos removal, but it doesn’t extend to homeowners. 

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.

Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The cost to install a beadboard ceiling averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. 

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.

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.
