Popcorn Ceilings (1950s-1980s)
That bumpy 'popcorn' ceiling texture in older Columbus homes frequently contains 1-10% chrysotile asbestos. Removing popcorn ceilings DIY is one of the most common ways homeowners accidentally expose themselves and their families to dangerous fiber concentrations. Our wet-removal process keeps fiber release at zero.
Vinyl Floor Tiles & Linoleum (Pre-1985)
9x9 inch floor tiles, especially in kitchens and basements, almost universally contain asbestos. Even the black mastic adhesive beneath the tile contains asbestos. We remove tile, mastic, and underlayment safely and completely.
Pipe Insulation & Boiler Wrap
That white, chalky insulation wrapped around old basement pipes, boilers, and furnaces is one of the most dangerous forms of asbestos because it releases fibers easily when disturbed. We remove and replace it with modern fiberglass or foam insulation.
Attic Insulation (Vermiculite/Zonolite)
Vermiculite insulation — small grayish-brown pebbly material — installed in Columbus attics from the 1940s to early 1990s often contains tremolite asbestos from the contaminated Libby, Montana mine. If you have vermiculite, do not enter your attic until tested.
Siding & Roof Shingles
Cement asbestos siding (cementitious siding) and roof shingles were popular in mid-century Columbus homes. While these are non-friable when intact, they release dangerous dust when cut, drilled, broken, or weathered. Removal requires careful wet-method techniques.
Our Residential Asbestos Removal Process — Designed for Family Safety
Step 1: Free In-Home Inspection
A certified inspector visits your home, identifies suspected asbestos materials, and collects samples. We respect your home — shoes off, careful protection of furniture, no mess left behind.
Step 2: Detailed Quote & Family Briefing
Once asbestos is confirmed, we walk you through the removal plan, timeline, and pricing. We discuss occupancy logistics, including whether your family needs to relocate temporarily and for how long.
Step 3: Pre-Work Preparation
We seal off work areas with negative-air containment, protect adjacent rooms with plastic sheeting, and set up a decontamination chamber. HVAC systems are sealed off to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 4: Safe Removal
Workers in full PPE perform wet-method removal, double-bag waste in EPA-approved asbestos disposal bags, and load it directly into our sealed transport vehicles. No waste sits on your property overnight.
Step 5: HEPA Cleaning & Air Clearance
After removal, every surface is HEPA-vacuumed and wet-wiped. An independent third-party hygienist performs air clearance testing. Your family doesn't return to the area until fiber counts are below safe levels.
