"I submitted an inquiry for a bid from River City Environmental on a Saturday morning without great hope of hearing back on the weekend.  I heard from Juan within the hour, scheduled a time for him to come out and look at the project the same day.  He was prompt and showed up as scheduled.  Juan was friendly, looked over the job site, and gave me a quote right then.  He had a crew available to start asap, but was flexible once some unrelated issues delayed the start for a few days.  Juan was very communicative throughout the bidding and scheduling process, and this level of communications continued throughout and after the project.  Once the job was scheduled, the crew showed  up on time and finished the job in less time than expected.  
Juan and his crew arrived expecting to see a cleared out space, but found that the HVAC units had not been removed prior to the job as promised.  They moved them with no hassle.  They did an excellent job removing the asbestos tile, the wall board, and the mastic from the slab.  Juan let me know right away once they were done and rather than asking for payment, he asked that I check their work first.  When a third party checked it for me and let me know that there were some small pieces of wall board remaining in a wall cavity, Juan was there almost immediately to remove it.  He also provided an air clearance test at the completion of the project for a small additional fee.  
I work on remodel projects that involve interactions with any and all trades on a regular basis, and working with Juan has been a breath of fresh air.  No games, no gimmicks.  He shows up,  tells you what he will do, for what price, and when, and he does it well!"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Austin, TX

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.
