"I had an old, manufactured home that I needed tested for asbestos and demolished. Professional Abatement LLC could meet my needs. I contacted Javier, who came to the location where I discussed my needs and concerns. He explained the process of asbestos testing and demolition, going over exactly what I wanted to accomplish. When Javier and his crew of professionals arrived, they did an outstanding job of removing the asbestos material and demolition of the structure. From beginning to end they wanted to make sure all my needs and concerns were met. I have only praise to say about the work performed. If you require their services, I highly recommend you contact Javier at Professional Abatement LLC."

"You get what you pay for. The estimate we got was twice what the other asbestos abatement contractors quoted us. BUT...the others were not as thorough and knowledgeable as Mitch from AbateRight, so we went with them. And when the crew discovered that the laminate flooring in three of the rooms didn't have asbestos vinyl underneath, they reduced the cost of our project by more than 30%! I was in Miami, and the project was in Corvallis, OR, and there's no way I would have known one way or the other. Honesty! AbateRight people are knowledgable, meticulous, professional, and they did a fantastic job, from demo to cleanup."

FAQs for asbestos testing projects in Salem, OR

Asbestos appears as long, thin, or curled mineral fibers that are not visible to the naked eye under normal conditions. Homes constructed before 1989 are more likely to contain this material, so a professional inspection is essential. Because asbestos identification requires specialized techniques, having a certified inspector assess your property is the safest way to confirm its presence and protect your family’s health.

Free asbestos testing services do not exist. You can purchase testing kits online for $30 per unit, and these kits include lab fees, return shipping, consultation, sampling media, and the final results. The results from a kit are less detailed and accurate than those provided by a certified asbestos testing professional. Since collecting a sample exposes you to harmful fibers, hiring a professional is essential to ensure safety and accurate testing.

Receiving asbestos test results takes one to seven days, but different labs offer varying turnaround times. When expedited processing is arranged, the laboratory completes analysis within 24 hours; standard processing requires up to two weeks. Hiring a certified professional ensures that all samples are collected correctly and results are provided without delay, safeguarding your home throughout the process.

Home insurance doesn't often cover asbestos testing and removal. Many policies have a clause called a "pollution exclusion," which means they do not cover indoor pollutants like asbestos. However, your insurance company might cover something like asbestos siding removal costs if it is released due to things beyond your control, such as storm damage.

If a DIY project or accident in your home releases harmful fibers, you must pay for the test and removal.

Yes, you can legally inspect and remove asbestos in your house as long as it's a single-family home and not a multi-family unit. However, the EPA strongly recommends hiring an asbestos abatement pro since testing can be dangerous.

Pros have all the right tools and safety equipment, and you risk breathing in the fibers by taking samples yourself. They also know how to collect samples and safely dispose of materials properly.

Asbestos encapsulation is a process that seals asbestos-containing materials with a protective barrier to prevent the release of harmful fibers. It serves as an alternative to complete removal when full abatement is not necessary. Encapsulation costs between $2 and $6 per square foot, offering a cost-effective option that contains asbestos safely when applied by a certified professional.
