Asbestos Removal & Abatement
Homes built before the 1980s commonly contain asbestos in popcorn ceilings, floor tile, ductwork, and drywall compound. Left sealed it is stable; disturbed by damage or demolition it becomes a serious airborne hazard that requires professional abatement.
When abatement is needed
Asbestos-containing materials become a problem when they are cut, broken, sanded, or water-damaged, exactly what happens during a flood, a fire, or a remodel. Before restoration work disturbs suspect materials in an older structure, they need to be tested, and if positive, removed under proper containment rather than demolished into the air your family breathes.
- Popcorn and textured ceilings
- Vinyl floor tile and mastic
- HVAC duct insulation and wrap
- Drywall joint compound and plaster in older construction
How we handle it
Abatement is performed under sealed containment with negative air pressure and HEPA filtration, with materials wetted, bagged, and disposed of as regulated waste in line with California requirements. Because EMS also performs the restoration and rebuild, abatement fits into the project schedule instead of stalling it.

How do I know if my home has asbestos?
Age is the first clue: construction before the 1980s makes it likely. The only way to know for certain is laboratory testing of the material, which we can arrange before any disturbance happens.
Can I just leave it alone?
Intact, sealed asbestos materials are generally left in place. The problem is disturbance, from damage, drilling, or renovation. If restoration work is going to touch suspect material, test first.
