Fountain Commercial Asbestos Removal & Testing
Asbestos in older commercial buildings puts tenants and staff at risk—we test and remove it safely in Fountain.
Our Asbestos Testing and Removal Process
If your Fountain office, retail space, or industrial building was constructed before the 1980s, asbestos-containing materials may be hiding in insulation, floor tiles, roofing, or pipe wrapping. Disturbing these materials during renovation, maintenance, or tenant turnover can release fibers into the air—a liability for your business and a health risk to employees and visitors. We help you identify the problem and eliminate it safely, keeping your facility operational and compliant.
Our process begins with a detailed site inspection and lab-certified sampling. We photograph suspect materials, collect samples according to EPA and Colorado regulations, and document findings in a formal report. Whether your building sits near I-25, Fountain Mesa Road, or deeper in the Fort Carson corridor, we coordinate access around your business hours and tenant schedules.
Once testing confirms asbestos presence, we design an abatement plan that minimizes disruption. Our IICRC-trained crew uses containment barriers, negative-pressure systems, and proper disposal procedures. We handle everything from notification and scheduling to post-removal air quality testing, ensuring your Widefield or Fountain facility meets all regulatory requirements before staff return to work.

What Our Inspection Covers
We visually survey all accessible areas—walls, ceilings, mechanical rooms, break areas, and storage spaces—looking for materials that may contain asbestos. In El Paso County commercial buildings, we pay special attention to older HVAC insulation, pipe lagging, acoustic ceiling tiles, and vinyl composition flooring (VCT), all common culprits. We photograph every suspect area and note its condition, friability, and location.
Laboratory analysis of collected samples is the gold standard. Our samples are sent to a certified lab that uses polarized light microscopy to identify asbestos type and concentration. You receive a detailed written report with findings, risk assessment, and clear recommendations for removal or encapsulation. This report protects you legally and guides your next steps.

Fountain Commercial Asbestos Removal & Testing FAQ
How do I know if my Fountain building has asbestos?
Age is the biggest indicator. Buildings constructed before 1980 often contain asbestos in insulation, tiles, pipe wrap, and roofing. Visual inspection alone is not reliable—lab testing is the only way to confirm. We perform both and provide a written report.
Can you test without shutting down my business?
Yes. We schedule sampling around your operating hours and coordinate with your tenants and staff. Testing itself is non-invasive; abatement work requires planning for containment and access, which we discuss with you before starting.
What areas of El Paso County do you serve?
We serve Fountain, the Fort Carson corridor, Widefield, and surrounding areas in El Paso County. Call (719) 282-0997 to confirm service availability for your location.
What happens if asbestos is found in my building?
We'll provide a detailed abatement plan, timeline, and cost estimate. Colorado regulations require licensed contractors for removal. We handle containment, safe removal, disposal, and post-work air testing so your facility is cleared for reoccupancy.
How long does testing and removal take?
Testing turnaround is typically 5–10 business days from sample collection. Removal timelines depend on scope and material type. We provide a detailed schedule upfront so you can plan tenant and staff communication.
Are you licensed and insured for asbestos work?
Yes. We are IICRC-trained and follow all EPA and Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment regulations. We carry full liability and workers' compensation insurance.
