Asbestos was commonly used in homes built before the 1980s. It may be found in insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, siding, roofing materials, and textured ceilings. The only way to know for sure is through professional testing. We safely collect samples and send them to a certified lab for accurate results.
Asbestos is generally not harmful if it remains intact and undisturbed. However, when materials are damaged, cut, drilled, or removed, tiny fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks. That’s why testing is especially important before renovations or repairs.
Most residential inspections take 1–2 hours depending on the size of the home and number of samples needed. Lab results are typically available within a few business days, with expedited options available if needed.
If asbestos is confirmed, we’ll explain your options clearly. In some cases, materials can be safely contained (encapsulation). In others, professional removal is recommended. Our team follows strict safety and compliance guidelines to ensure your home is properly handled.
Asbestos removal should never be a DIY project. Improper handling can release dangerous fibers into the air and contaminate your home. Professional removal ensures the area is properly contained, removed, and disposed of according to regulations.

Josh came and assessed my basement and gave me an estimate to safely remove the asbestos from the floor and ceiling. He and his team came back and did an excellent job containing the area and keeping us safe. He and his team were very personable, knowledgeable and professional. Josh always kept us informed. I’m so glad we found someone who was trustworthy and who did what they said they would do. I highly recommend Josh and team at Knoxbestos.
