Credentials & standing

If you’re dealing with an insurance claim, Environmental Services of America is here to conduct asbestos sampling related to your claim or at the request of your contractor. Asbestos sampling is required for any property undergoing renovation, demolition, or removal to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved.
What Gets Sampled?
We test any materials that will be disturbed during renovation or demolition to check for the presence of asbestos.
What Does Sampling Cost?
Sampling costs vary based on the number of samples needed, which depends on:
Material Similarity: Similar materials may require fewer samples.
Extent of Damage or Renovation: More extensive work may need more sampling.
Square Footage: Larger areas might require additional samples.
Negative Results: Other contractors can proceed without delay.
Positive Results: An abatement process must be completed before further work can continue.
How Will I Know the Results?
Our project manager will contact you directly with the results, which are analyzed by an accredited third-party laboratory.
What Is an Abatement?
An abatement is the process of removing confirmed Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) from your property.
When Will the Abatement Start?
We schedule the abatement after your insurance adjuster reviews and approves our estimate, ensuring smooth payment processing. Starting without approval may result in the property owner being responsible for unpaid costs.
Who Are Mitigation and Restoration Contractors?
Mitigation Contractors: The first responders to property damage (e.g., from storms or floods) who may inform us that sampling is needed.
Restoration Contractors: The team that restores your home to livable conditions after mitigation and any necessary abatement.


Asbestos is a hazardous silicate material that’s often found in old building materials. From flooring and roofing to HVAC systems and insulation, it was used across America from the 1950s to the 1980s.
If you suspect the presence of this dangerous substance, asbestos testing and abatement is required to limit the risk of exposure. Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are known to cause respiratory problems and other serious health conditions. These include lung cancer, larynx cancer, ovary cancer, and more.
