"ACU did a really terrific job, top to bottom! I selected ACU based on their stellar recommendations here and on other sites. It was not the cheapest estimate I got, but it felt like a solid choice based on reviews and my interactions with Terri during the quote process. Also, do note that Terri is licensed by the GA EPD to do asbestos abatement and renovations that may involve the presence of lead paint. Do not discount the importance of this; it can spare you anxiety and expense if unexpected things happen during the renovations. Terri took the time to explain everything to me, and talked to me like an adult. Other contractors I met with glossed over details and oversimplified answers to my questions, which I don't appreciate. I had done my homework, so I had a pretty good idea of the requirements and best practices for remediating asbestos, so I appreciated that Terri spoke with me candidly about the work plan, risks involved, and potential issues. Throughout the work, Terri was accessible to answer any questions I had, and when I raised concerns, she immediately called her crew to touch base, and made a point to send a manager to investigate firsthand. As far as I could tell, her crew followed the requisite practices for remediation. ACU communicated effectively and did the work well. As an anxious person, it was a great relief to have faith in the competence of the firm, and to have responsive project managers willing to answer questions. I couldn't have been more pleased with the experience."

"I called Nathaniel after another contractor found suspected asbestos tape in our crawl space. Nathaniel was able to arrange a same-day appointment for me at a price that was the best of all the many companies I called. He arrived on time and was professional, courteous, and competent. I plan to continue with them for the abatement of any issues his testing uncovers and would highly recommend his team!"

"A representative came out and looked at the crawlspace and the attic space. We got a fairly quick estimate on the price. I don't know that the price was the lowest, because we were pressed for time and needed to quickly get on the schedule for removal. The crew arrived, some of them were detailed to the crawlspace and some to the attic and they were out of there, in about 4 hours. I didn't watch the entire process of removal, but inspection of the crawlspace that had a large amount of flaking of the insulation, indicates that they did a good job of removing all of the asbestos, including that on the dirt floor. The initial inspection turned up another 30 ft of pipe and while initially, they were going to charge me for this, a call to their office resulted in their waiving the additional cost. So, they came in right on estimate. I think they did a good job."

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Atlanta, GA

Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring mineral fibers once commonly used in building materials because of their resistance to heat, electricity, and corrosion. However, in 1975, research confirmed that these fibers cause mesothelioma and other cancers, leading to strict usage laws. If your home contains asbestos, removing it can prevent long-term health effects. You'll often find asbestos in the flooring, ceilings, pipes, and roofing of homes built before the 1990s. Common asbestos-containing materials include vermiculite insulation, vinyl flooring, millboard, and corrugated roofing. If you suspect you have asbestos or any of these materials in your home, it's important to hire a reputable abatement company to perform testing.

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in some areas, contractors handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. Be sure to check your local laws to ensure any contractor you hire meets the necessary requirements.

Homes constructed before the 1990s can conceal asbestos within building materials, and testing provides a definitive answer. You should have your home tested by a certified asbestos inspection service. This professional evaluation identifies hazardous materials and determines whether removal or encapsulation is necessary. Testing safeguards your family’s health and supports smart budgeting for remediation.

Federal law does not require you to disclose the presence of asbestos when selling your home. However, certain states and local jurisdictions impose disclosure regulations that you must follow. Testing and professional remediation confirm that hazardous materials are properly managed. This proactive approach not only meets legal requirements but also protects your property’s value and buyer health.

Asbestos removal affects a home’s resale value because hazardous materials can deter potential buyers. Having toxic substances present lowers buyer confidence and may reduce the property’s value by 1% to 15% if not addressed. Professional remediation ensures safety standards are met and preserves marketability, protecting your long-term investment.

Grants exist at both federal and state levels to support asbestos testing and removal projects. Local housing programs may also offer financial assistance when asbestos is discovered during home repairs. Meeting certification and testing standards is required to secure these funds, which help to manage overall project costs while ensuring safe remediation.
