"Todd is absolutely fabulous. He is clearly an honest man and immediately upon talking to him, we knew we were in good hands as we considered removing the asbestos in our new home and installing new flooring to cover the area. They do great work! We highly recommend this company."

"Got a great explanation over the phone of how we did not need an expensive Asbestos test done if it was just for piece of mind. I got quotes from $800-$3k from competitors and they came in at $600 including all the tests. Great quality and easy to work with."

"Environmental Services of America took my call after 5 PM, and they came to my house two hours later. The company was the least expensive of the three I called, and gave me the fastest results. Elias Hernández looked at all my floors, and he only took samples of the ones where asbestos might be an issue. Rather than taking samples of the five areas I was concerned about, he only took two because he knew three of them were not an issue. This saved me money. Also, he gave us professional advice on handling our demolition work in order to protect our family. Environmental Services of America left my house at approximately 8:45 PM, and I had my asbestos test results the following day around noon. I would recommend Environmental Services of America to anyone, and I plan on using them for any future needs."

Common in homes built in the 20th century, black mastic was used as an adhesive for ceramic tile, linoleum, and other resilient flooring materials. Mastic is a term that has largely become outdated, but you may still find it on old cans around the house. The main concern is that some (but not all) black mastics may contain asbestos

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Athens, GA

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
