"Jon and his crew were quick to respond, competitively priced, easy to work with and fast/efficient and thorough in their work. I highly recommend them for any remediation needs. I felt very safe to return to my home after the asbestos removal given all the steps and testing they did to ensure our house was free and clear."

"Prior to doing the job, Yosvin came out and took a sample of the ceiling for me so we could have it tested. Thankfully the results were that the popcorn ceiling did not contain any asbestos material. Yosvin and his crew were fantastic! Not only did they show up on time, but they also did an excellent job of removing the popcorn ceiling, and cleaning up after themselves prior to leaving. Everything went smoothly. I would recommend Yosvin and his crew to others."

"Luis provided a proposal for demolition of my old shed. Better price by far than competing proposals. He did it on the day he said he would. Reclaimed almost all the materials to use on other projects. I highly recommend him based on quality of work, honesty, reliability, and price."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
