Asbestos Abatement Removal
Safely managing and removing asbestos to prevent exposure and health risks.
Asbestos Abatement Removal
Asbestos is found in homes, workplaces, and construction sites. If left undisturbed risks of exposure to asbestos are low. When disturbed very small asbestos fibers are released into the air and when the fibers are breathed in, they can become entrapped in the lungs, over time these fibers can cause health problems, disabling respiratory disease and various types of cancers.
When it comes to asbestos abatement and removal service, it’s important that the asbestos is removed by a qualified asbestos abatement contractor or professional trained, licensed and certified, and comply with all state laws. Core Environmental Solutions is experienced and ready to safely handle your asbestos abatement project.

Asbestos Abatement Frequently Asked Questions
What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once used in insulation, flooring, roofing, and other building materials. When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibers into the air. Inhaled fibers can lodge in the lungs and cause serious illnesses such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
Where is asbestos commonly found in homes and buildings?
Asbestos may be found in:
• Popcorn ceilings and textured paint
• Floor tiles and adhesives
• Pipe insulation and ductwork
• Roofing shingles and siding
• Drywall joint compound and plaster
If your property was built before the 1980s, there’s a higher chance asbestos is present.
When does asbestos become a health risk?
Asbestos is generally not harmful if left intact and undisturbed. It becomes dangerous when it is damaged, broken, or removed improperly. Renovations, demolition, or even minor repairs can release asbestos fibers into the air.
How do I know if I have asbestos in my property?
The only way to confirm asbestos is through professional testing. A licensed inspector will collect samples and send them to a certified lab for analysis. Core Environmental Solutions can arrange testing and provide safe, compliant removal if asbestos is detected.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
No. DIY asbestos removal is unsafe and illegal in most cases. Federal and state laws require asbestos abatement to be handled by licensed professionals with specialized training, protective equipment, and disposal methods.
