An asbestos inspection can protect your health and offer peace of mind.
Today, asbestos is well known for its harmful nature, causing lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other serious diseases, but it wasn’t that long ago that asbestos was being used liberally in construction. Some homes still have asbestos today, and if your home was built before 1985, there’s a higher chance that it may have asbestos.
If there is a possibility that your home contains asbestos, it’s wise to find out for sure with an asbestos inspection—that way, you don’t have to worry about the risk to your health if the asbestos-containing materials have been disturbed. If no asbestos is found, you can have peace of mind. If an asbestos inspection does reveal its presence, you can move forward with asbestos abatement right away.
An asbestos inspection typically begins with a visual inspection and identification of suspected asbestos-containing materials. Some materials that are usually suspect when it comes to containing asbestos are popcorn ceiling spray coatings, floor tiles, and drywall. Then, samples are collected and tested in a lab. Of course, your inspector will be wearing a respirator and the proper PPE the entire time and conduct the inspection with the utmost attention to safety.

Why should I get an asbestos inspection?
Asbestos inspections are essential when you suspect there may be asbestos present or if you plan to remodel or renovate a property built before 1985. Disturbing materials that contain asbestos can release microscopic fibers into the air, which can be inhaled and lead to serious respiratory illnesses. An inspection helps confirm whether asbestos is present so that it can be handled properly and removed safely if necessary.
What does an asbestos inspection involve?
A certified inspector will begin with a visual survey of your property to identify materials that may contain asbestos. Common suspect areas include floor tiles, drywall, insulation, popcorn ceilings, HVAC duct wrap, and pipe coverings. Samples of these materials are carefully collected and sent to a certified lab for analysis. Throughout the process, our inspectors wear protective equipment and follow strict protocols to minimize any risk of exposure.
What happens if asbestos is found?
If the lab results confirm the presence of asbestos, our team will walk you through your options. We can provide a comprehensive asbestos abatement plan tailored to your property, including containment, encapsulation, or complete removal.

We bought a new to us 1964 home last December and to no surprise, we had asbestos popcorn ceilings. We decided to remove the ceilings altogether versus just scraping them. To complicate things even more, we had a plumbing leak in a room that had previously been encapsulated, so we had to deal with insurance to cover a portion of the asbestos removal. Rusty and the whole team at Remtech were such a help from the first moment we spoke! They were responsive, flexible, and knowledgeable. They helped us get insurance what they needed. They even worked with us to do the removal work while we had to be out of town. Asbestos removal and dealing with insurance, especially as we were brand new to the home, was incredibly stressful. Working with Remtech was the opposite – they were helpful and easy to work with that I barely had to think about the work being done. It was a nice break for my brain! They also did a great job. We came home to a CLEAN house with no ceilings! While I'm hoping we never have to go through such a big project again, I know we'd be able to handle it because we can rely on Remtech.

A few months ago I used Remtech Envir. to remove asbestos from the ceiling of my home, and to this day I'm still amazed with their service that I've been meaning to write a review, and today's the day! The whole process went through so smoothly because of their professionalism, punctuality and care. At the end of each day I received an update from Rusty who was the project manager which was super helpful, and because of their expertise I knew the job was getting done correctly. There was a lot of asbestos to remove, and they showed up and delivered hard work to get it done within the time frame that was initially discussed. So grateful we used their services! I would highly recommend!

Our church basement flooded and the old asbestos tiles curled up and had to be removed. Jeff Brewer came over to look at our problem, explained what they would do. He furnished a quote very quickly with a fair price. After checking with two other companies, Jeff's instructive conversation, ease of manner, willingness to help and a fair price won him the work. As a former contractor, I know how backed up companies can be in their schedule. He told us of a target time about 4-6 weeks off, which was fine. He called a couple of weeks later and had an opening in his schedule and wanted to come earlier. That was great. Their staff arrived on time and delivered a very quick, professional and clean project. This allowed us to our Fellowship Hall floored and back in operating condition prior to the start of the school year. It is a pleasure to work with a company that communicates well and delivers their service in a superior way.

Remtech came in and did a removal of asepsis when our home developed a leak and the sheetrock ceiling had to be removed. Got right to work, kept us informed every step of the way and did a great job of cleaning up. Would use them again in a heart beat!!

The cost was higher than expected, so I did not move forward at that time. I will use Remtech when I amready to have the work done. They are very professional and take the time to answer any questions. The rep arrived on time, explained the process and provided the estimate. A very positive experience.
