Who does asbestos removal in Augusta, GA?

Environmental Services of America (ES America) performs licensed asbestos removal across Augusta and Richmond County from our office at 3540 Wheeler Rd, Suite 3001. We are a Georgia-licensed asbestos abatement contractor (GA ASBRN-382008), EPA/AHERA/ASHARA accredited (Cert #20616), and insured ($1M/$3M general liability and umbrella). In business since 2009, we handle both homes and commercial buildings: testing, containment, removal, and certified disposal.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Augusta?

The cost of asbestos removal in Augusta depends on the material, the amount, its location, and how it's accessed, so we price each job after an inspection rather than quoting a flat rate. Small, contained jobs (for example, a section of floor tile or pipe insulation) cost far less than a whole-house or commercial abatement with full containment and air clearance. The most accurate number comes from a survey; request a free quote and we'll scope it to your building.

What is the asbestos removal process?

Asbestos removal follows a controlled, regulated sequence so fibers never become airborne:

  • Survey and testing: an accredited inspector samples suspect materials; a lab confirms whether asbestos is present.
  • Notification: for demolition and larger renovations, the federal Asbestos NESHAP rule requires written notice to the regulator (in Georgia, the GA Environmental Protection Division) at least 10 working days before work begins.
  • Containment: the work area is sealed with negative-air pressure and HEPA filtration so fibers stay inside.
  • Removal: trained workers wet, remove, and bag the asbestos-containing material under OSHA controls.
  • Cleanup and clearance: HEPA vacuuming and wet-wiping, followed by air-clearance testing to confirm the space is safe to reoccupy.
  • Disposal: the waste is manifested and taken to a licensed landfill that accepts asbestos.

Do I need an asbestos survey before removal or demolition in Augusta?

Yes. Before you remove asbestos or demolish any older Augusta structure, a survey is required to identify asbestos-containing materials. Federal NESHAP rules require a thorough inspection before demolition or renovation, and Georgia EPD enforces this statewide. Skipping the survey risks fines and, more importantly, exposure. ES America can inspect first, then remove: one licensed contractor for the whole process.

Where is asbestos found in Augusta homes and buildings?

Augusta has a large stock of pre-1980 housing (including the historic Summerville, Olde Town, and Harrisburg districts) plus older commercial, textile-mill, and institutional buildings, so asbestos-containing materials are common here. Watch for it in:

  • Popcorn (textured) ceilings and wall texture
  • 9"x9" and 12"x12" floor tiles and their black mastic adhesive
  • Pipe, boiler, and duct insulation
  • Drywall joint compound and plaster
  • Roofing felt, shingles, and cement ("transite") siding
  • Vermiculite attic insulation

If your building predates the 1980s and you're renovating or demolishing, have suspect materials tested before you disturb them.

Asbestos Removal in Augusta: Frequently Asked Questions

Is asbestos removal legal to do myself in Augusta?

For anything beyond very small amounts, no. Georgia requires asbestos abatement to be performed by a licensed contractor, and improper removal can release fibers and trigger fines. Homeowners doing minor work on their own residence have narrow exceptions, but testing and professional removal are strongly recommended.

How much does asbestos removal cost in Augusta?

It depends on the material, amount, location, and access, so ES America prices each job after an inspection rather than a flat rate. Small contained jobs cost far less than whole-house or commercial abatement with full containment and air clearance. Request a free quote for an accurate number.

How long does asbestos removal take?

Most residential jobs are completed in one to a few days. Larger commercial or pre-demolition abatements take longer because of containment, the 10-working-day NESHAP notification lead time, and air-clearance testing.

Do I need an asbestos survey before demolition in Augusta?

Yes. Federal NESHAP rules require a thorough asbestos inspection before demolition or renovation, and Georgia EPD enforces this statewide. ES America can inspect first and then remove, handling the whole process under one licensed contractor.
