How We Test and Remove Asbestos from Your Home

Asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and pipe wrap was common in homes built before the 1980s. If you're renovating, repairing, or just concerned about what's in your walls or attic, exposure is a real health risk—and DIY removal can make it worse. We identify what you have, contain it properly, and remove it safely so your family is protected.

Our process starts with a thorough inspection of your home. We collect samples from suspected materials—often found in basements, crawlspaces, and attics in older Florence properties along Highway 115 and throughout Fremont County. Samples go to a certified lab for analysis. If asbestos is present, we outline the safest, most cost-effective removal plan tailored to your home.

Once you approve, our IICRC-trained crew sets up containment, uses specialized equipment to remove the material without releasing fibers into the air, and disposes of it at a licensed facility. We clean and clear the area, then document everything for your records. Whether your home is near downtown Florence or further out toward Cañon City, we handle the whole job start to finish.

Inspection and Testing Process

We begin by walking your home—paying special attention to basements, mechanical rooms, attics, and anywhere older insulation, sealants, or wrapping are visible. On Highway 115 and throughout Fremont County, many homes were built in eras when asbestos was standard. We document everything photographically and note areas of concern.

Suspected materials are sampled using proper techniques and sent to a certified laboratory for polarized light microscopy analysis. You receive a detailed report showing whether asbestos is present, what type, and where it's located. From there, we discuss removal options—from full abatement to encapsulation—and answer every question you have.

Florence Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing FAQ

How do I know if my Florence home has asbestos?

If your home was built before 1980, asbestos is likely present in insulation, tiles, roofing, or pipe wrap. We test to confirm. Older homes in Fremont County are especially at risk. Do not disturb suspected material—call us first.

Is asbestos removal required before selling my home?

Disclosure is required in Colorado. Many buyers and lenders want confirmation that asbestos has been tested and any risk addressed. We provide documentation that protects you and speeds up closing.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

No. Disturbing asbestos releases fibers into the air and your lungs. Colorado law requires licensed abatement for most removal. Our crew has the training, equipment, and disposal permits. It's safer and legally compliant.

How long does testing and removal take?

Testing takes a few days to a week for lab results. Removal depends on the amount and location. Small projects may take one day; larger jobs may take several. We schedule around your family and give you a clear timeline upfront.

Do you serve areas outside downtown Florence?

Yes. We serve all of Fremont County, including homes along Highway 115, Highway 67, and near Cañon City. Call (719) 282-0997 to confirm your address and discuss your project.

What if I'm renting—can my landlord be forced to test or remove asbestos?

Colorado law requires landlords to disclose known asbestos. If you suspect it and feel unsafe, document your concerns and contact your landlord or local health department. We can also provide testing so you have answers.
