"In the middle of having my flooring installed, we discovered that I had asbestos in my kitchen and bathroom- the flooring installers walked out of the job immediately. I had 3 companies come and give me bids. San Diego Abatement Services was the most professional and knowledgeable. They scheduled the job the day after I called. They were polite, efficient, and did exactly what they promised to do. They were not the least expensive- but my confidence in a perfect job and the safety of my home was more important. They sent me the certificate of a clean air test so I can now finish my floors!"

"I'm very happy with the work that was done by Landmark construction and energy crew. At first, we met with Ron that came over and met with us about the issues that we had with our water heater and with the bills that we currently pay for electric. Ron recommended us to replace the bulky old water heater and to install a tankless system that will supply hot water immediately and with the use of less gas. We liked that idea and we decided to go for this project. Ron came over to our house with his 2 people that basically took care of all the removal and the installation of the new system. The work that they did took only 2 days from start to finish and now we have more space at the garage, and the bills are much lower than before…."

"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!"

"Last month I discovered that my water heater was leaking and after having a plumber <br /> over to fix it he recommended I contact a restoration company to handle all of <br /> the repairs and dry out. We did a little searching around the internet and came <br /> across Orange Restoration. We decided to give them a call and got through to a <br /> friendly man named Evan. He was very helpful at describing the process to us <br /> and sent a technician out to check out the damage that same day! We received a <br /> quote later that week and after calling a few other companies we decided we <br /> would give them a shot. Their technician, Jonathan, showed up a few days later as scheduled and began working <br /> on repairing the damage. All the work was completed on time and without any <br /> additional costs. They dealt with our insurance provider and the adjuster <br /> directly so we were able to avoid that hassle. Overall we were very impressed <br /> with their work. It looked better than it originally looked before the water <br /> leak! <br /> After all said and done, I would give Orange Restoration 5 stars for their <br /> friendly customer service, quick response, and top notch work!"

"I ended up not using them. They were glad to come out. I think their price was pretty comparable to what I ultimately paid, except for I got 10% back. I think it was a private label furnace whereas I got a Lenox thru the company that I ultimately used.  <br /> <br /> They were quick in coming out, looking at the place and giving me the options. They were very thorough in going over the options and making sure all of my questions were addressed. They were very good.  <br /> <br />"

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.
