"Eco Tech did a great job removing tiles from two different rooms in my basement. They provided a clear estimate and completed the work on time. When I had questions they were very responsive. I would certainly hire them again."

"I hired service master for a wash and sanitize due to mouse decree being all over the house I just acquired. Part of this was to tear out the carpet and cabinets and put it in my dumpster I provided along with three couches. They put the carpet with out issue but they did not breakdown the cabinets nor did the put the couches into the dumpster. I personally did that with the help of two friends after they stated the job was done. I injured both shoulders doing it. They also did not remove any of the mouse poop even though we called them and said that they didn’t do it and they came back to “do it” I have photos and a video of me taking a shop vac and doing it myself after a two day long fight about if they did it or not. They are trying to charge me 11k for a job that was suppose to cost 2k at the highest claiming to have worked 130 hours in a 4 day period. There arnt that many hours in 4 days so how the f*** did they work that many hours?"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Howard, CO

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.
