"I have an older home that had an asbestos roof and I couldn't get anyone to come out and take a look. After calling around for over a week Midwest Abatement was the first company to get back to me and say they could do the work. They were quick to respond and provide an estimate for the work, and even got me on their schedule in a timely manner. They are very professional and provided an air quality check after removal. Although I hope I don't run into an asbestos issue again, if I do I would definitely call them!"

"We had water seepage/damage in our basement and had to pull up all of our floor tiles in 2 rooms in the basement before we could install a new sump pump/drainage tile system. The floor tiles looked suspicious for asbestos containing materials (ACM). We took a sample of the floor tile to Bussey Environmental to be tested. Bussey confirmed that the tile (but not the mastic underneath) contained ACM. Bussey recommended Bluestone to remove and abate the floor tiles and mold. We hired Bluestone and they gave us a very detailed proposal (much more detailed than other proposals we received) and a reasonable price. Bluestone arrived on the appointed time and day (even came a little earlier). The crew chief was James (Jimmy) Santellano. Jimmy was very professional and friendly and could not have been more accommodating. Bluestone removed all of the floor tiles and abated the mold in the basement rooms. They performed the work in accordance with strick industry standards for removal of hazardous materials. They finished the job in about 6-7 hours and after they finished we had the air tested for both asbestos and mold. We passed all of the tests. Bluestone left the job both clean and neat and ready for the next phase of our basement work. We would recommend Bluestone very highly."

"The work was completed in a timely manner. They did leave behind some tape on the vents that I had to remove. Otherwise, the removal of our asbestos containing material was done professionally on time and with good value."

"Would absolutely work with them again, though I hope I won't need to. Michael was extremely helpful in the entire process of doing asbestos testing on the tile in my new(-to-me) home. Easy to schedule and work with, and he really took the time to answer my questions and make sure I had all of the information I needed. Excellent service."

"It was wonderful working with Lake Shore Environmental Solutions, Inc. to have the asbestos removed.  It had become very friable and was a serious hazard, made even more of an issue now that I was using the area as a work shop.  Scott the owner came to view the area and develop a cost immediately following my call and gave me a very thorough explanation of all the work to be performed.  It was nice to understand what would be done and how thorough (and safe) the process was.  Scott and his team arrived right on time as planned and got to work immediately.  They finished up with air testing the next day and I was amazed at how great everything looked.  The remediated pipes were clean, in fact, the whole space was cleaner than when they arrived.  The testing showed that they had done a great job and my basement was now safe for use. One day later I had the results of the testing, plus the copy of the paid invoice. <br /> Again, I want to thank Scott and his team for the thorough and professional work they did. <br />"

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Chicago, IL

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.
