"We had damaged asbestos tile in our basement, discovered when we tore up the carpet to do a basement renovation. We called Young at the advice of the person who tested the tile. Young was quick to schedule and handled the removal beautifully. Very pleased."

"I love my basement now! They removed all of the asbestos flooring, adhesive etc. and installed my new floor in 2 days. The employees were very respectful and worked efficiently. They had said 3 days but they hustled and did it in 2."

"ES Environmental Solutions was the second lowest quote I received for a request to have a mixture of vermiculite and fiberglass insulation removed from a 500 SF attic. They used a crew of 4-6 people, working two days (Friday-Saturday)from 6AM to about 1PM, to fully clean out the attic and spray an asbestos encapsulating product on the exposed drywall and joists. The attic is basically spotless now. After the cleaning, a technician from a separate company performed and air quality test, the result of which was provided to me by ES Environmental Solutions. I highly recommend them for this service."

"John came to give us an estimate and we were a little shocked by the price. This is by no means a cheap service because of the regulations they have to follow. He called us later and lowered his price to keep his crew working and we were very happy for someone that really wanted our business. They were very prompt on the day of the removal. They did everything we asked and left the house in better shape than when they arrived. They even removed some old carpet that was in the way. We were very satisfied with the job they did. The one thing that we were surprised by was the fact they did not take credit cards. We had not budgeted for a cash payment. I hope in the future they are more up front with customers about this. We would use them again.

I called Gina Majors to schedule a consultation regarding mold and asbestos in my house. I had spoken to some contractors during the last month and had received advice that left me with more questions.  Fortunately, Gina happened to be close by when I called her and she was able to come to the house within a few minutes. She was pleasant, professional and extremely knowledgeable. She answered all of my questions clearly and "undid" my confusion. She made some easy recommendations to address my concerns after inspecting the downstairs rooms and taking some humidity readings indoors and outside.  I wish I had called Gina before seeing the contractors.  I would have had the expert advice that I needed.

She charged me a very reasonable price.  I told her it was too low and actually paid her a little more. She is kind.

Her expertise put my mind at ease and I would give her an A+.

 Don't hesitate to contact Gina.

FAQs for asbestos abatement projects in Washington, DC

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.
