Fountain Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing
Fountain homes built before 1980 may harbor asbestos—we test and safely remove it.
How We Test and Remove Asbestos Safely
If you're a homeowner or landlord in Fountain and you suspect asbestos in your walls, insulation, floor tiles, or roof shingles, waiting isn't safe. Asbestos fibers invisible to the naked eye can settle in lungs and cause serious illness years later. We start with certified lab testing of suspect materials—no guesswork—so you know exactly what you're dealing with before any removal begins.
Once we've confirmed asbestos presence, we contain the work area carefully, remove materials following EPA and state regulations, and bag and dispose of waste at licensed facilities. Our crew works methodically so fibers don't spread through your home or into neighboring properties along Fountain Mesa Road or the Widefield area. Throughout the process, we document everything and provide you with clearance certificates showing your home is safe again.
El Paso County homes in the Fort Carson corridor and south Fountain often have older HVAC insulation, vinyl tiles, and roofing materials that commonly contained asbestos decades ago. We're trained to identify suspect materials during inspection, collect samples safely, and coordinate with licensed labs. You'll get a clear report and a removal plan—or confirmation that your home is clear—before we ever lift a tool.

Our Asbestos Inspection Process
We begin with a visual survey of your home, looking at insulation, floor coverings, roofing, siding, and any damaged or deteriorating materials that might release fibers. We ask you about the age of your home and any renovations or disturbances you've noticed. If we spot suspect materials, we collect small samples using sealed containers and send them to a certified lab for analysis—the only way to confirm asbestos presence.
Once results come back, we walk you through findings and options. If asbestos is present, we provide a detailed removal plan including containment, disposal, and re-inspection. If materials are in good condition and not likely to be disturbed, we may recommend monitoring instead of removal. Either way, you have a written record and peace of mind—especially important if you're a renter, landlord, or planning to sell in El Paso County.
Use this list to identify areas in your Fountain home that may need testing.
- Home built before 1980 (peak asbestos use in construction)
- Visible white, gray, or tan insulation wrapped around pipes or ducts
- Cracked, crumbling, or water-damaged insulation in basement or attic
- Vinyl floor tiles (especially 9×9 or 12×12 inch) with darker backing
- Roof shingles showing age, curling, or granule loss
- Siding or exterior panels with uneven wear or discoloration
- Popcorn or textured ceiling coating (common in 1960s–1980s homes)
- Old furnace or boiler with wrap-around insulation
- Joint compound, spackling, or drywall joint tape in repair areas
- Felt underlayment visible under old vinyl or tile flooring
- Any visible deterioration, crumbling, or fiber shedding in walls or ceilings

Fountain Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing FAQ
How do I know if my Fountain home has asbestos?
You can't tell by sight alone. We inspect your home for common materials (insulation, tiles, shingles, siding) and collect samples for lab testing. That's the only reliable way to confirm asbestos presence.
Is asbestos removal required if I find it?
Not always. If asbestos material is in good condition and won't be disturbed, we may recommend monitoring instead. If it's crumbling, water-damaged, or you're doing renovations, removal is the safer choice. We'll advise based on your home's condition.
How long does testing and removal take?
Testing takes a few days after we collect samples (lab turnaround is typically 5–7 business days). Removal timelines depend on material type and scope—we'll give you a clear schedule after we confirm asbestos. Call (719) 282-0997 to discuss your specific timeline.
Do you serve areas around Fountain, like Fort Carson or Widefield?
Yes. We service all of El Paso County, including the Fort Carson corridor and Widefield. If you're north or south of Fountain along I-25 or Fountain Mesa Road, we're equipped to help.
What should I do if I disturb asbestos during a home repair?
Stop work immediately and leave the area. Asbestos fibers are dangerous when airborne. Call us right away at (719) 282-0997. We can help contain the disturbance and guide next steps safely.
Will asbestos removal affect my home's value or ability to sell?
Quite the opposite. A clean asbestos inspection report reassures buyers and lenders. Many home sales require disclosure—addressing asbestos upfront builds trust and protects your equity.
