"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."

"So great. Derrrick was flexible, human and understanding while still being professional and affordable compared to others in the market. His price came in at 1/2 that of another quote I got, and he answered all of my (totally paranoid) questions about health, safety and precautions taken to protect our home and family from rogue asbestos fibers. He and his crew do a swipe of the space before and after and send it to labs to verify that everything is clean. My kitchen counter ended up with LESS asbestos on it after the removal than before... which just made me feel 100% comfortable with the processes they used. It's called above and beyond for a reason - and shockingly, that isn't about the price. Also Derrick is the nicest guy. What a great find. Thanks Angies list!"

"We discovered asbestos in our attic during a recent renovation. Uriel and his partner, Elder, were recommended to us by the company we hired to clean out the attic. Uriel walked us through the steps involved, and Elder exceeded every expectation set. Elder and crew worked quietly and efficiently, completing the job ahead of schedule. They sealed off the attic and adjacent room to contain the material and left the affected areas in immaculate condition at the completion of the project. I cannot say enough good things about them and happily recommend them to anyone needing asbestos abatement services."

"I had a bad situation of asbestos in my old Seattle home in Sandpoint. I called Alfonso and he was able to get on the job right away! His prices are very reasonable and the overall outcome was amazing. I would hire again!"

"Jahn and Norman were the most excellent professionals I've ever met! I was stressed about the possibility of having asbestos in my house, but they fully educated me and restored my confidence in living in my own house. I feel much better now! They were super nice, calm, patient and professional. They took samples in a timely manner and communicated the results in a timely manner! They are also very responsive to questions and inquiries. I can't thank them enough for all their help! I strongly recommend this company!"

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Yelm, 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.
