REMOVING ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Why is Asbestos Abatement Needed?
Alpine Environmental’s asbestos services address the prevalent use of asbestos in building materials, including insulation, walls, flooring, and fireproofing typically in structures built before the 1980s. While undisturbed, asbestos poses minimal danger. However, any maintenance or renovation work that disturbs it requires abatement under state and federal laws.
Recognizing the growing need among our clients, Alpine Environmental established its asbestos division in 2017. Just like our lead and mold projects, we prioritize safe work practices and attention to detail, ensuring the best possible solutions for our clients.

How It Works
Asbestos Abatement Process
1. Asbestos Testing and Inspection Report
Prior to renovation or demolition, an asbestos survey must be performed by a licensed asbestos inspector. In some other situations, asbestos presence can be assumed and the materials removed or abated by a licensed abatement contractor without initial testing. Asbestos abatement contractors should not, and in many states cannot, conduct inspections due to potential conflicts of interest. Since regulations vary from state to state and even town to town, Alpine can assist you with finding the best solution for your situation.
2. Asbestos Abatement Plan
Depending on your project needs, we can develop an abatement plan and provide you with a proposal based on our site visit and your inspection report or we can submit pricing to execute the work plan provided by your inspector.
3. Asbestos Abatement Work and Clearance
After the abatement work is completed and before our environmental containment is removed, your inspector will perform the necessary clearance inspection which typically includes air samples which ensure a safe and clean environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is asbestos?
Asbestos, a natural fibrous mineral, boasts unique and useful properties that have led to its extensive use in many homes and buildings. It possesses remarkable qualities such as being fireproof, durable, flexible, and chemical resistant. However, when its minute fibers become airborne, they can be inhaled, leading to severe health complications.
Where can asbestos be found?
Asbestos can sometimes be found in newer buildings but is typically found in buildings that were built before the 1980s. Vinyl and linoleum flooring, fireproofing, roofing, and insulation are some of the most common areas asbestos was used.
What are the health effects of asbestos exposure?
Asbestos exposure can cause asbestosis, a permanent scarring of the lungs. It can also cause mesothelioma, a rare and particularly deadly form of lung cancer.
How can I test for asbestos?
The best way to test for asbestos is by contacting a licensed asbestos inspector to perform proper sampling and testing. This is mandatory if you are planning a renovation or maintenance project that could disturb asbestos.
How do you safely remove asbestos?
Prior to removal, a licensed asbestos crew must establish a containment area using poly sheeting and HEPA-filtered negative air machines to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading. Equipped in full Tyvek suits and HEPA-filtered respirators, the licensed workers proceed to remove or contain the asbestos materials. Following abatement, a thorough final cleaning is conducted, and air tests are performed by a licensed asbestos inspector to confirm the safety of the work area for re-occupancy.
