Rockrimmon Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing
Rockrimmon homes built before 1980 may hide asbestos—we test and remove it safely.
How We Test and Remove Asbestos in Rockrimmon Homes
If you own or rent a Rockrimmon home built in the 1970s or earlier, asbestos in insulation, floor tiles, roofing, or pipe wrap is a real concern. You can't see it or smell it, but when it's disturbed—during renovations, repairs, or just aging—fibers become airborne and pose serious health risks to your family. We help you know what's in your home and handle removal the right way, so you can breathe easy.
Our process begins with a thorough inspection. We visit your property near Rockrimmon Boulevard or deeper in the northwest hillside neighborhoods, sample suspect materials in basements, attics, crawl spaces, and around HVAC systems, then send samples to a certified lab for analysis. Once results come back, we sit down with you and explain what we found—no pressure, just facts about whether removal is needed.
If asbestos is confirmed, our IICRC-trained team uses containment, safe removal protocols, and proper disposal to eliminate the hazard. We're familiar with the older construction styles in the UCCS corridor and Rockrimmon area, where freeze-thaw cycles and foundation movement can crack and degrade asbestos-containing materials faster than in warmer climates. After removal, we document everything so you have a clear record for future sales, insurance, or peace of mind.

What Our Asbestos Inspection Covers
We inspect the areas where asbestos most often hides in Rockrimmon homes: basement insulation and pipe wrap, attic insulation and roofing felt, garage floor tiles and adhesive, crawl spaces (common in northwest hillside homes prone to freeze-thaw damage), and mechanical equipment. We collect samples of any suspect material and test them in the lab—this is the only way to know for certain.
Our inspection report includes photos, lab results, a map of affected areas, and a clear recommendation on whether removal is urgent or can be monitored. If you're selling, refinancing, or planning renovations near I-25 or in your neighborhood, having this documentation protects you and informs your next steps.
Use this checklist to identify which areas of your Rockrimmon home may contain asbestos and need professional testing.
- Home built before 1980—asbestos was common in construction materials
- Basement or crawl space insulation looks gray, fluffy, or wrapped around pipes
- Attic insulation is old and loose or in batts with a papery backing
- Vinyl or asphalt floor tiles in basement, garage, or utility areas
- Roofing shingles or underlayment visible in attic; roof is 30+ years old
- Pipe insulation or HVAC ductwork wrapped in white, gray, or tan material
- Drywall joint compound, texture, or paint appears friable (crumbly) when scraped
- Furnace, boiler, or hot water tank surrounded by blanket-like insulation
- Evidence of water damage, cracks, or deterioration in basement or crawl space
- You are planning any renovations, repairs, or alterations to the home
- Home inspection report mentioned 'older materials' or 'potential asbestos'
- Family members have respiratory concerns or you have pets in the home
If you check three or more boxes, call us for a professional asbestos assessment. Testing is the only way to know.
