"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."

"Daniel contacted me quickly, after posting my notice of this project. My entry project was simply to give a cost estimate for testing and removal of an old carpet pad that looked like it might contain asbestos. He arrived when he said he would, and took care of my project promptly and efficiently. Very friendly, kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Also worked very efficiently and with respect. I liked his service so much I immediately expanded my project to include a few other things I was considering, by asking him to evaluate/test for other possible asbestos in attic insulation and popcorn ceiling., and he easily accommodated them. Prices were very reasonable. I was glad that he was able to complete my project within the same day as requested, except some samples that will require lab testing, after giving a price estimate, which he retained. The project request was for price estimates, but he came prepared to complete the project. A couple of other companies also contacted me, and their price estimates, without even visiting, were quite a bit higher. Daniel was able to use his experience and expertise to avoid costs that were not necessary."

"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."

"Pro is an important part of their name, and they live it! Protech Environmental is a top notch contractor. We hired them to safely remove vinyl flooring that contained asbestos, after we found them on the WA state Labor & Industries Certified Contractors List. Use this list in combination with Angi before you have any asbestos remediation done. Protech's bid was the lowest bid we received, but that was not the only reason we chose them. Each time we contacted them, they responded within a few hours. We sent Protech and the other bidders questions about their plans for the job, including their workers' vaccination status (they are all vaccinated), how long the work would take, and other things. They responded promptly and completely, and came to the house in advance of the work to make sure they knew exactly what we needed. On the day of the job, they called us several hours before they were to begin, to tell us they had to deal with an equipment problem and would be here about an hour late. They weren't that late, only about 40 minutes. Once they began, they worked efficiently, finishing the work in less time than expected. An important part of asbestos abatement is the clean up at the end of the project, and they did a wonderful job. They did a great job of removing their barriers with only a few spots where their tape took small amounts of paint from the walls. Any staples were removed and the woodwork was not harmed. We are very pleased with Protech's work. We will recommend them to anyone we know and the next time we need a contractor we will look at them first to see if they offer the services we need."

"Paul was punctual, and very informative on the condition of the attic and how to fix the issues he discovered...we had mold remediate before moving in 7 years ago and have been concerned of it coming back. When we noticed black spots reappearing, we called him. He gave us the peace of mind and a few suggestions to improve our attic ventilation efficiency."

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.
