Why are we at your home?
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re navigating an insurance claim situation. Environmental Services of America is here to conduct asbestos sampling by assessing the specifics of your claim. Alternatively, the sampling request may have come from your mitigation, rebuild, or general contractor.
Invasive asbestos sampling is required for any commercial or residential property undergoing renovation, demolition, or removal. This crucial step ensures we understand the work environment fully. Our goal at Environmental Services of America is to provide a safe environment for everyone involved in the renovation, demolition, or removal process.
What Gets Sampled?
We sample any materials that will be damaged, torn apart, or broken during the renovation or demolition process to analyze them for the presence of asbestos.
What Does Sampling Cost?
Sampling costs vary mainly based on the number of samples collected. The number of samples needed depends on several factors:
1. Homogeneity/Likeness of Materials: Similar materials may require fewer samples.
2. Extent of Damage/Renovation Plans: More extensive projects may need more sampling.
3. Square Footage: Larger areas may require additional samples.
What Happens If My Samples Are Negative or Positive?
– Negative Results: If your samples test negative for asbestos, other contractors can continue their work without delay or the need for an abatement process.
– Positive Results: If your samples test positive, an abatement process must be carried out before any further work can continue on your property.
How Will I Know the Results of My Samples?
Our project manager or field representative, who performed the inspection and collected the samples, will contact you directly with the results.
Please note that the samples we collect are hand-delivered to an accredited third-party laboratory for analysis.
What Is an Abatement?
An abatement refers to the process of removing the tested and confirmed Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) from your property.
When Will the Abatement Start?
If you’re undergoing an abatement due to an insurance claim, Environmental Services of America will schedule the abatement after your insurance adjuster reviews and approves the estimate we submitted. This approval ensures that all payments are handled smoothly. If we bypass this approval due to urgency, the property owner may become responsible for any unpaid costs.
What Do You Mean by Mitigation/Restoration Contractor?
– Mitigation Contractor: Typically, when a property experiences damage (from events like tree falls, wind, floods, or fire), the first company to visit your home is the mitigation team. Environmental Services of America works closely with many mitigation companies, and they often inform us when sampling services are needed at your home.
– Restoration Contractor: After mitigation and any necessary abatement, the restoration company steps in. This team is responsible for returning your home to a livable condition.

Asbestos testing and removal in Atlanta
When To Remove Asbestos?
Not all asbestos requires immediate removal. You can leave it undisturbed if:
* The Material Is Sealed Or Encapsulated.
* It’s In Good Condition And Unlikely To Be Disturbed.
However, removal is necessary if asbestos is damaged, deteriorating, or located in areas prone to disturbances during renovations or demolitions. Always hire a certified asbestos removal contractor to handle the process safely.
The Asbestos Removal Process
At Environmental Services of America, our licensed contractors follow a strict and safe asbestos removal process:
* Permits And Notifications.
* Containment Setup.
* Removal Techniques.
* Proper Disposal.
Hiring A Professional Asbestos Abatement Contractor
When choosing an asbestos removal contractor, ensure they are qualified by asking:
* Do you have a state asbestos abatement license?.
* Can you provide proof of pollution insurance?
* What safety measures will you use during the process?
* How will the asbestos waste be disposed of?
* Will you handle the necessary permits and notifications?
Cost Or Asbestos Removal
The cost of asbestos abatement depends on the location, type of asbestos, and the complexity of the removal process. Contact us for a detailed estimate tailored to your project.
