Ceilings in the same house do not always match. A coat of paint, an old patch or a later remodel can each change what is up there, so we sample every ceiling the work will touch. We take off only the texture that tests positive. Skim coating and paint come after, from your drywall finisher.

Asbestos floor tile and mastic removal

One floor can hold three materials: tile, the black glue under it and the backing on sheet flooring. We test them separately, because one can be positive while another is clear, and we lift only what the lab flags. We work out with you and your flooring installer who repairs and preps the subfloor before we start.

Asbestos insulation removal

Wrap on a basement pipe or boiler and loose fill in the attic are very different jobs. Please leave suspect insulation alone until we have looked. We note where it is, what shape it is in and what your project will disturb, then plan access, any heating shutdown and what goes back in.

Asbestos siding and roofing removal

We test cement siding and roofing before it is replaced or the building comes down. We plan our removal around the new siding or roof, especially where new openings or hidden layers will be exposed, and work out access, handling and how the building stays dry once it is off.

Asbestos abatement before renovation and demolition

For a remodel we survey the rooms you are changing; before a tear-down we survey the whole building. Send us the plans before any demolition starts. We coordinate any notice that is needed, remove what tested positive in the right order and tell your remodeler or wrecking crew when they can take over.

Commercial asbestos removal projects

Tenant improvements, shared buildings and commercial demolition all mean working around other people. We find out which suites, shared air systems and access routes the work touches and schedule the survey and removal around them. Owners and tenants get the records they need and a clear word on when they can use the space again.

Asbestos testing and removal costs

Nearly 4 in every 10 Kent homes were built before 1980, making asbestos a common issue in our community. Our price ranges cover hired labor, materials, containment, lab fees and disposal for typical jobs in Kent, Covington and Maple Valley. Expect the low figure for a small job with easy access, and the top for bigger areas, occupied buildings, second stories or extra air tests.

Our process

01

Test what the work touches

First comes a survey of whatever your project will disturb. We give the lab report to everyone who will work near it.

02

Agree the work area

We set the work area and access, check for a notice and plan waste removal before other trades start.

03

Hand back the space

You get the records and we say when the rooms can be used again. The next trade handles repairs and new finishes.

Only a lab test can tell

Nine-inch tile, black glue and cottage-cheese texture all look suspicious, but only a lab result tells you what is in them. Each result comes with a note of where that material is in the house. If a room has several finishes or patched areas, we sample each one.

Survey and project requirements in Washington

Puget Sound Clean Air Agency treats renovation and demolition differently. We confirm what your survey must cover, whether a notice is due and where the waste goes for your property. A building permit does not replace the asbestos survey.

Frequently asked questions

Can you tell asbestos from a photo?

No. Tile, texture and wrap look the same with or without asbestos. When suspect material is damaged or a remodel will disturb it, we sample it and a lab tests it. That result is the only way to know.

Does all asbestos have to come out?

Not always. Material in good shape that your project will not disturb may be able to stay. We look at its condition and your plans and tell you whether it stays or goes.

Does removal include new flooring or ceiling finishes?

Not unless we agree it up front. Our prices cover the asbestos work and cleanup; new flooring, ceiling repairs and paint usually come from the trade that does them.
