Asbestos Testing

Asbestos is known to be a hazardous carcinogen and was used as a component in thousands of building materials used between the 20’s-80’s. Homeowners, landlords, and contractors must perform testing or site surveys prior to disturbing any building materials via remodeling, demolition, or even simple maintenance in any type of building. Although most people aware of the potential for asbestos content in popcorn ceiling, vinyl tiles, and pipe insulation; any building material that is not made of wood, metal, or glass may contain asbestos.
A Certified AHERA Building Inspector will help you to determine the appropriate sampling plan and protocol to ensure that you protect yourself from health impacts and liabilities, without wasting money on abating unnecessary materials.

WHEN DO YOU NEED AN INSPECTION?
Any time you are remodeling, demolishing, repairing or otherwise disturbing materials that may contain asbestos, an asbestos inspection is required. Unfortunately, building owners and contractors are often unaware of the need for asbestos inspections until late in the project. A Certified AHERA Building Inspector can help to limit abatement costs and provide a thorough report that will get the project done safely.

The crew arrived promptly at the scheduled time. Everyone was very considerate and took care to not damage any areas not being worked on as part of this project. Everyone worked very hard to get the project done in one day and they left the area very tidy. Communication ahead of and after the project was top-notch and all my questions were answered right away. I would highly recommend this company.

American Abatement and Demo was recommended to us after we ran into the small complication of asbestos while attempting to remove an old boiler out of our home. Aaron took our call directly and could absolutely sense our concern and the urgency of our situation. He and his wife went out of their way to come by the home and review the situation. From there, the process was expeditious and incredibly efficient. I cannot thank all the team members enough for their time and care. Aaron, Bruce, Kyle, Jeffery, Louie and all the others whose names I’m forgetting…. thank you! I will also give a HUGE thanks to Aaron and Louie for taking down the Sherman Tank of a boiler and making way for our new system. Your dedication, determination, and raw strength were completely awesome. This is how a business should be run. It was truly a pleasure.

We had such a wonderful experience working with American Abatement. We had a very tight timeline on a tear-down/new-build project and Aaron took such great care of us. We were sure our project was going to be delayed which would have forced us to incur price increases with our builder, but he took care of us within 2 business days and was very affordable. You can count on American Abatement to do the right thing for their customers. They are timely, reliable, and professional. I would not hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to any friend. Thank you, Aaron and American Abatement!

A professional family company, with which it has been a pleasure to work. The employees were respectful of my neighborhood and me.

In the midst of a high-stress situation (purchasing a new home, replacing the floors, and realizing that we had asbestos to deal with), Aaron and the team at AAD were incredibly helpful, reassuring, prompt in their responses, and overall the least stressful part of the process so far an impressive accomplishment, when we were dealing with an unexpected hazmat situation. While we hope to never need their services again, we would unhesitatingly use them again and recommend them to others.

Aaron and the whole team were great! They were very professional and friendly. I was walked through the removal procedure and explained everything. The whole company, from start to finish were wonderful to work with. Companies like this, make having to do needed projects, a little less nerve-racking.

Aaron was thoughtful knowledgeable and most importantly actually came to my house to look at the job. Another company wanted to charge us twice as much site unseen! I will use American Abatement again, if needed!

They did their work in a timely fashion. They were courteous, professional, and paid attention to all the details of removal. If I had any more vermiculite, I would use this company again.

Aaron and his team were just awesome. We originally hired AA&D to remove our popcorn ceiling. We wound up having them remove some drywall which tested positive for asbestos as well. Aaron walked us through the process, and what to expect; he also offered suggestions to keep our costs low, like doing just the first floor of the house. After the removal, our ceilings look good. A few other areas in our house have tested positive for asbestos as well and when the time comes, we’ll be hiring Aaron and his crew again.

When they started the popcorn ceiling removal the job was moving as expected. When they got to the living room the material was under several layers of paint and this slowed the job significantly. The guys ended up working 14 hours on an 8-hour job. They stayed very late to ensure I could return to my home that night. STRONG WORK!!!!!!

After getting a few quotes and meeting Aaron in person, we decided to go ahead and work with American Abatement and Demo. We are very satisfied with the work they did in removing vermiculite insulation from our attic. They were very clear in how they would do the work and what to expect. They were also very prompt in providing documentation showing test results (asbestos air quality test after work completion) and removal invoices, as well as prefilling the paperwork for the Zonolite trust fund rebate. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Aaron and his crew. Aaron came out to our house, explained the entire process and our options. He took only the samples required and didn’t try to upsell us on more samples. Within an hour he had the results and talked through with us all our options for removal and abatement. Communication was great the entire time and Aaron kept us well informed every step of the way. His crew did an excellent job cleaning up and got everything done even with the holidays. Great job!
