Colorado Springs Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing
Asbestos in older Colorado Springs homes puts your family at risk—we test and remove it safely.
How We Test and Remove Asbestos
If your home was built before the 1980s, materials like insulation, floor tiles, pipe wrap, and roofing may contain asbestos. You can't see or smell it, but disturbance during renovation, water damage, or age-related deterioration can release fibers into your home. That's when you need a professional inspection and, if necessary, safe removal. We help homeowners in Colorado Springs and El Paso County avoid the health risks—and the costly mistakes—that come with DIY abatement.
Our process begins with a thorough visual inspection of your attic, basement, garage, and living spaces. We take samples of suspected materials and send them to a certified lab for analysis. If asbestos is present, we discuss your options: encapsulation (sealing it in place) or full removal, depending on the material, location, and condition. We work around your family's schedule and ensure the work meets state and federal regulations.
Once we remove or encapsulate asbestos-bearing materials, we document everything and dispose of waste at licensed facilities. Whether you're renovating a Broadmoor home, addressing water damage in a Briargate basement, or preparing an Old Colorado City property for resale, we handle the process from testing through final clearance. Our IICRC-trained team follows strict containment and air-quality protocols so your home is safe when we leave.

What Our Asbestos Inspection Covers
We inspect all the places asbestos commonly hides in older homes: attic insulation, basement pipe insulation and floor tiles, garage ceiling materials, roof shingles, drywall joint compound, and exterior siding. We also check for signs of damage or disturbance—water stains, cracks, or areas where previous owners or contractors may have already disturbed materials. Our team knows the freeze-thaw cycles and humidity patterns along the Front Range, which can accelerate deterioration of aging materials.
After we collect samples, results typically come back within 48–72 hours. We then provide a written report with findings, photos, and recommendations tailored to your home. If asbestos is found, we explain your options in plain terms and give you a detailed estimate for removal or encapsulation. Whether your home is near Powers Boulevard, along Platte Avenue, or in any neighborhood across El Paso County, we serve you with the same care and transparency.
Use this checklist to identify areas of concern in your Colorado Springs home before we arrive.
- Home built before 1980 (especially pre-1970s structures)
- Visible insulation in attic or basement—white, gray, or tan fibrous material
- Crumbling or damaged pipe insulation in basement or crawl space
- Old vinyl floor tiles (9×9 inch) or sheet flooring in any room
- Textured ceiling coating or spray-applied material showing signs of age
- Exterior siding, shingles, or trim that appear original to the home
- Recent water damage, leaks, or moisture in attic, basement, or walls
- Previous renovation work—drywall patching, pipe removal, or roof repair—without professional oversight
- Popcorn ceiling or acoustic tiles in living areas
- Furnace or water heater with original insulation wrap or tape
- Any area showing cracks, peeling, or deterioration of older materials
- Plans to renovate, repair, or sell—triggering the need for pre-work testing

Colorado Springs Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing FAQ
How do I know if my Colorado Springs home has asbestos?
You can't tell by looking at it. Homes built before 1980—especially pre-1970s construction common in Broadmoor, Rockrimmon, and older neighborhoods—are at risk. We perform testing to know for sure. Call us at (719) 282-0997 to schedule a free inspection.
Is asbestos dangerous if it's in good condition?
Asbestos is safe when undisturbed and intact. The danger comes when materials are damaged, crumbling, or disturbed during renovation. Water damage from Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles, or work by an untrained contractor, can release fibers. We assess the condition and recommend whether encapsulation or removal is needed.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Testing and sampling take 1–2 hours. Lab results come back in 2–3 days. If removal is necessary, the timeline depends on the scope—small projects may take 1–2 days, larger homes near Academy Boulevard or Powers Boulevard may take longer. We'll give you a clear schedule upfront.
Can I stay in my home during testing and removal?
During testing, yes—we collect samples non-invasively. During removal, no—we set up containment areas and restrict access to ensure no fibers reach other parts of your home or your family. We'll explain the process and work with your schedule to minimize disruption.
Do you serve areas beyond Colorado Springs, like Fountain or Manitou Springs?
We serve Colorado Springs and nearby areas within El Paso County. For your specific location along I-25 or outside the county, call us at (719) 282-0997 and we'll let you know if we can help.
Why should I hire a professional instead of doing asbestos removal myself?
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Colorado and puts you, your family, and future buyers at risk. We're trained, equipped with containment and respiratory protection, and licensed to handle and dispose of asbestos properly. It protects your home's value and your family's health.
