"After receiving three quotes from various companies, we decided to hire San Diego Abatement Services. They came in and did a wonderful job accommodating my elderly parents, explaining what needed to be done and were professional in handling all aspects of the job. My parents are very pleased with their services and will hire them again to finish the rest of the house. <br />"

"The service tech from McMaster was efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. I always fear service calls because so many times you feel taken-advantage-of. That was not the case here. I will be keeping their number for future needs!"

"Overall, they did a good job. They are friendly and very helpful. we had a little mess to clean up after, but to be fair, I didn't complain -- if i had they would have come back. Preferably they would have come back to check on their own."

"Within an hour, I was contacted to set up an estimate which happened later that day which I really appreciated. Dave checked the wall damage, made sure it wasn't an ongoing moisture problem, etc. and schedule a repair. The crew came out, did a terrific job of patching the wall, repainting and making it look seamless. They did a great job, were quick, professional, easy to work with and we'll be hiring them again for other projects for sure!"

"I was experiencing some minor plumbing leaks a few months back and I recently started to smell something funky coming from my kitchen. I was able to smell out the problem and it lead me to the cabinet underneath the sink. I rarely look under there and when I opened it I could see mold growing everywhere. A friend of mine had a similar problem and she used Orange Restoration and had a pleasant experience so I decided to give them a call. They sent over a technician named Jonathan who was very friendly and courteous. He confirmed my fears that it was mold and returned the following day to contain the mold so they could get rid of the moisture. Once everything was dry they tore out the old material and repaired all the damage. It looks great and I am very happy with the results, the best part is my kitchen doesn't smell anymore!"

"The process went well overall. The only glitch was that the installation crew (not just one person) called in sick Monday morning after MLK day. Maybe they got the flu or something. Sherlock managed to get another crew to the house at 1pm, which still gave it a 5-hour late start. Once they got there, the work was done carefully and professionally, including negative pressurization to make sure none of the asbestos got loose while the old ducts were removed and packaged up for hazmat. The work was completed properly, there were *no* issues with inspections, I had access to a lot of help and advice from Sherlock, and I feel comfortable with the process and the results. They seem to go the extra mile to support their customer set. And of course, the replacement furnace works perfectly. Mom is happy with it."

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in San Diego, CA

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.
