Asbestos Removal in Colorado Springs, CO

Asbestos-containing materials show up in nearly every Colorado Springs home built before the late 1980s. Popcorn ceilings in mid-century ranches off Academy Boulevard, vinyl floor tile in Old North End Victorians, pipe insulation in Broadmoor basements, and joint compound in 1970s tract homes throughout Briargate and Rockrimmon all routinely test positive for chrysotile asbestos. Disturbing those materials during a remodel, roof replacement, or basement finish releases microscopic fibers that can stay airborne for hours and embed in lungs for decades.

Colorado law requires that any asbestos abatement over a regulated threshold be performed by a CDPHE-certified General Abatement Contractor, with state notifications filed 10 working days before work begins. The Pikes Peak Regional Building Department also requires a pre-renovation asbestos survey for most permitted projects on buildings older than a certain age. Homeowners doing DIY work are not exempt — and an unpermitted disturbance can mean stop-work orders, fines, and an uninsurable property.

Our Colorado Springs crews run the entire process under one roof: CDPHE-licensed inspection, accredited lab analysis, permit and notification filings, full-containment removal with HEPA-filtered negative air, and post-abatement clearance testing. You get one phone call, one transparent quote, and one folder of documentation at the end — ready for buyers, lenders, contractors, or county inspectors.

The most common job we get called for in Colorado Springs is popcorn-ceiling removal in homes built between 1955 and 1985. Those textured ceilings almost always contain asbestos and cannot be safely scraped, sanded, or pressure-washed without containment. We're also frequently on-site for pre-renovation surveys in Old North End and Old Colorado City Victorians, pre-demolition surveys for tear-downs and scrapes in Patty Jewett and the Westside, pipe and boiler insulation removal in Broadmoor basements, and asbestos floor-tile and mastic removal during kitchen and bathroom remodels throughout Briargate and Stetson Hills.

On the mold side, El Paso County's freeze-thaw cycles, hailstorm roof damage, and heavy August monsoons mean we run a steady volume of attic, basement, and crawlspace mold remediation calls. We also handle post-flood mold response for properties in Fountain Creek and Monument Creek floodplains, and IAQ assessments for Colorado Springs School District buildings, daycares, and medical offices.
