Asbestos was used in many products from the early 1950’s thru the 1970’s and while in the late 1970’s it was outlawed for production in the United States, it can still be found in imported products. Therefore, we treat it seriously both to protect our clients and our employees.

We test our restoration jobs where the building was built in 1984 or earlier and ALL fires. In many cases we are clear to handle the job as “clean” and the process moves forward. On the jobs where Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) is found we have the team, equipment, and expertise to keep all of us safe.

Frequently asked Questions about Asbestos

• Isn’t it all gone?
  No, while legal production in the US stopped in the late 1970’s it is estimated that it was regularly used in buildings until the mid-1980’s.
• Are my employees or family at risk if our building has Asbestos?
  Not necessarily. If the material remains intact and not disturbed it poses no risk to building occupants.
• If your working in my building are occupants at risk of exposure?
  We use engineering controls, filtration and follow all EPA & OSHA standards/practices to protect everyone and yes you can stay in the building but do not enter our work area without training and proper PPE.

  We clear all Asbestos jobs through a third-party Industrial Hygienist or Air Quality Specialist to ensure quality and empirical evidence that we have done our work correctly and safely.

  Yes, bot the EPA and OSHA have regulations regarding the abatement and disposal of ACM. And yes, we know, understand, and follow those regulation…Even on jobs that don’t technically meet the regulatory standard… It’s the safety of our team and our customers that is most important.
