Stratmoor Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing
Stratmoor homes built mid-century may hold hidden asbestos—we test and safely remove it.
How We Test and Remove Asbestos from Your Home
If you own or rent in Stratmoor, older insulation, floor tiles, roofing, and pipe wrap in your home may contain asbestos. You can't see or smell it, and disturbing these materials releases fibers that pose serious health risks to your family. We identify what's there and safely remove it so you can live without worry.
Our process starts with a thorough visual inspection of common problem areas—attics, basements, crawlspaces, and around mechanical systems near Lake Avenue and Venetucci Boulevard neighborhoods where mid-century construction is common. We collect samples from suspected materials and send them to a certified lab. Once results come back, we give you a clear report and honest advice about whether removal is necessary or safe encapsulation is enough.
If removal is needed, we follow strict EPA and Colorado protocols. Our team isolates the work area, wears full protective equipment, uses specialized containment and HEPA vacuums, and removes every trace. We then test the space again to confirm it's safe. All waste is disposed of legally and documented. We handle the paperwork so you stay compliant with El Paso County and state regulations.

What Our Asbestos Inspection Covers
We inspect all common asbestos-bearing materials in residential properties: acoustic ceiling tiles and sprayed-on fireproofing, vinyl floor tiles and mastic, pipe insulation and boiler wrap, roofing and siding materials, and joint compounds and spackling in walls. We look behind walls, under floors, and in attics—places homeowners often miss. Our IICRC-trained team documents every finding with photos and lab samples.
After inspection, we sit down with you and explain the risk level of each material. Some can stay in place if undamaged and undisturbed; others need removal. We give you options, timelines, and cost estimates so you can make the right choice for your family's safety and your home's value.
Use this list to identify areas in your Stratmoor home that may need testing.
- Attic insulation and loose-fill material (common in homes built before 1980)
- Basement and crawlspace pipe insulation and furnace wrap
- Acoustic ceiling tiles and popcorn ceiling texture
- Vinyl floor tiles, sheet flooring, and adhesive/mastic underneath
- Roofing materials, shingles, and tar paper (especially on older roofs)
- Exterior siding, cement board, and caulking compounds
- Drywall joint compound, spackling, and patching plaster
- Mechanical equipment insulation (water heaters, air handlers, ductwork)
- Door gaskets and seals on fireplaces and wood stoves
- Brake pads and clutch materials (if repairing or replacing vehicle parts on-site)
- Plumbing materials and gaskets around old fixtures
- Garage and workshop materials that may have been applied decades ago
If any of these are present and the home was built before 1990, testing is a smart first step. Call us to schedule an inspection.

Stratmoor Residential Asbestos Removal & Testing FAQ
How do I know if my Stratmoor home has asbestos?
You can't tell by looking. Asbestos was widely used in insulation, tiles, coatings, and roofing materials in homes built before the 1980s and 1990s. If your home was constructed during that era, a professional test is the only reliable way to know. We can inspect and collect samples for lab analysis.
Is asbestos dangerous if it's not disturbed?
Intact, undisturbed asbestos materials pose minimal risk. The danger comes when they're cut, sanded, drilled, or damaged—that's when fibers become airborne and can be inhaled. Renovation, remodeling, or even normal wear and tear can break down these materials. If you're planning any home work, testing first is critical.
What's the difference between asbestos testing and removal?
Testing identifies whether asbestos is present and where. Removal is the safe process of taking it out using containment, protective gear, and certified disposal. You need testing first to know if removal is necessary. Sometimes encapsulation (sealing it in place) is a safer, less costly option.
How long does an asbestos inspection take?
A typical home inspection takes 2–4 hours, depending on size and how many areas we need to sample. Lab results usually come back within 5–7 business days. Removal, if needed, is scheduled separately and can take anywhere from a day to a week depending on scope. We'll give you a timeline upfront.
Will removing asbestos disrupt my family?
Yes, removal requires containment and temporary disruption. We seal off work areas so fibers don't spread to the rest of your home. If it's a large project, you may need to stay elsewhere for a few days. We schedule removal at times that work for your family and keep the process as efficient as possible.
Do I need to tell my insurance company or the county about asbestos removal?
Yes. Many insurance policies require disclosure of asbestos discovery and removal. El Paso County and Colorado state law require licensed contractors for abatement and proper documentation. We handle the paperwork and make sure everything is reported correctly so you're protected and compliant.
