At Remtech Environmental, we have been licensed asbestos removal specialists for over 20 years, helping homeowners and commercial property owners in the Raleigh, North Carolina area safely remove asbestos from their properties.
Concerned about asbestos exposure?
You can’t see or smell asbestos, which makes it a very sneaky health concern.
Inhaling airborne asbestos fibers can cause cancerous diseases, and symptoms of poisoning don’t show themselves until 20 to 30 years after asbestos exposure.
If you know or suspect that asbestos is on your property, you need to call our asbestos removal experts. We are licensed, insured, and experienced to safely remove asbestos from residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
Get peace of mind today!

What Is Asbestos?
A common question people ask is, “What is asbestos?” Asbestos is a mineral that was mined and has been used in thousands of different products. It was especially common among building materials such as:
1. POPCORN CEILINGS
2. FLOOR TILES
3. DRYWALL
4. SIDING
5. PIPE WRAP
6. VINYL FLOORING (OR LINOLEUM)
7. ROOF SHINGLES
8. CEILING TILES
Remember, it’s not possible for you to tell whether a material in your home contains asbestos simply by looking at it; you need to get an expert involved.
POPCORN CEILINGS
Services We Offer

To help you return to your ordinary routine and get back the peace of mind you deserve, we offer disaster restoration services.
Popular with builders from the 1950s to 1980s, popcorn ceilings were created with a spray-on texture to hide imperfections on ceilings inside homes. The problem? The product contained asbestos.
Despite serious asbestos-related health concerns, spray-on products like popcorn ceiling were used heavily up until they became banned by The Clean Air Act in 1978.
But even some homes built in the 1980s can contain asbestos popcorn ceilings because the act allowed businesses to use up their existing inventory of products.
A popcorn ceiling is friable, which means you can easily damage it — and even just grazing friable asbestos with your hand can release toxic asbestos dust and dangerously increase levels of asbestos exposure.
This is especially important to know if you’re thinking about popcorn ceiling removal as a DIY project when renovating your home.

60% OF DIY‑ERS
report asbestos exposure during renovation projects.
Remember, once asbestos fibers are exposed and airborne, there’s no DIY measure to contain the damage. If you do it right the first time, you can avoid significant asbestos removal costs in the future.
WHY YOU REALLY CAN’T JUST PAINT OVER ASBESTOS…
If any of the building materials listed above are frayed or falling apart in your home, or if you’re thinking about a renovation that could disturb any of those materials, be careful.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you have licensed and accredited asbestos contractors like us help test these materials before you do anything else.
When you’re in the middle of an exciting renovation project for your home, the last thing you might want to do is asbestos removal — it’s tempting to just paint over it and pretend it’s not there.
Paint and sealants that can be purchased at hardware stores or online might delay the threat of asbestos, but they certainly do not remove it from your home. If at any point in the future you cut or drill the painted area, you will expose your entire home to toxic asbestos fibers.

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.

What Home Buyers Should Know About Asbestos
While federal law doesn’t require the seller to disclose that their home contains asbestos or vermiculite, a type of insulation where asbestos is commonly found, North Carolina state law does require the seller to disclose this information.
That’s helpful because in the Raleigh area alone, 1 in 5 homes currently on the market were built in the 1980s or earlier and are a possible asbestos risk.
