"They were very efficent at their work. I do notice some clean up of a black substance I will have to remove from some of my other floors. Also, they kind of left me stranded without the use of my fridge and stove plus block my cellar door where my car keys hang. They should have let me know that they wouldn't be able to return these items to the correct position. When I asked them when they were disconnecting them if they were going to hook them back up, they said yes. "

"Stay away! Do not hire this company!! Fraudulent charges. Lies. Manipulators. Everything was covered by insurance but they are sending me bills for an additional $$$$ and claiming it’s computer error they can’t fix. So called project manager never came out to check on workers. Flooring salesman came out while workers there but he never went in to check on their work. He stayed outside and chatted then left. Painters painted the powder room that was not supposed to be painted and now there is yellow oily substance running down the wall from the paint they used. Worst experience ever."

Environmental and demolition services are complex jobs, which should be performed by a contractor that is adequately insured, maintains the highest professional standards and employs the industry's most advanced procedures.\n\n\n\nSince its opening in Allentown, Pennsylvania, RAPCO has performed literally thousands of environmentally sensitive jobs. Whether a large high rise or a small residential job, RAPCO prides itself on maintaining a high level of client satisfaction. RAPCO's extensive experience and detailed focus on a limited area of expertise has resulted in RAPCO being able to perform extremely efficiently and subsequently RAPCO is able to offer very competitive rates!\n\n\nAsbestos removal should be performed by a company that is licensed with the State of Pennsylvania Contractors State License Board. Further, environmental companies should maintain an adequate level of insurance. All workers who perform environmental clean-up should have proper training in order to assure that asbestos/mold/lead debris are not scattered through-out the work area during removal. There are very specialized techniques that must be incorporated in order to assure a safe removal process. All workers must be covered by worker's compensation insurance to assure that no liability is passed on to the property owner (client).

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Reading, PA

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.
