Asbestos Abatement

Green Circle Environmental's first priority is providing a safe working environment for each abatement project. We value the complete safety of your employees and family throughout the abatement process.
Each project is set up and performed on a case by case basis contingent upon the asbestos identified and scheduled to be removed from the area.
Green Circle Environmental employs a number of skilled, state certified asbestos supervisors and workers.
Whenever applicable, jobs are performed in “capsule concept,” which keeps the project area in isolation under negative pressure, containing all asbestos materials to the project area.
Green Circle Environmental also offers air monitoring in and outside of the containment area for your peace of mind at an additional cost.

Will I Need to Leave the Building or My Home During the Abatement Process?

In most cases it is not required to leave the surrounding area during abatement.
Green Circle Environmental will seal off any affected areas in a negative pressure enclosure allowing us to do our work while allowing you to remain in the building. In some situations where asbestos is present in a large area, you may be required to leave during the abatement process.

Survey And Abatement Cost

Asbestos surveys start at $250 and include the extraction of up to 5 samples of potentially affected areas.
Samples are taken by one of Green Circle Environmental’s AHERA accredited building inspectors and hand delivered to the laboratory.
The laboratory is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis coupled with dispersion staining (EP Method 600/R93/116, July 1993).
PLM offers the most practical and cost effective method for identifying asbestos minerals.
The gross components in each sample are positively identified through the use of polarized light and dispersion staining.
The six asbestos mineral types: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anhophyllits, tremolite and actinolite, are separately identified based on their distinct optical properties.
Any material determined to contain asbestos minerals in estimated quantities greater than 1% is considered an asbestos containing material (ACM).
If your home, office, or building tests positive for absestos, Green Circle Environmental offers free estimates on any abatement project, even if another company conducted the origonal survey.
