Asbestos REMOVAL

What Is Asbestos Abatement and Why Is It Important?
Old buildings built before the 1980s contain asbestos in their structure. Asbestos was used in insulation, floor tiles, roof shingles, pipe wrapping, and even joint compounds for decades. After years, these tiny fibers are released into the air, breathing them can lead to serious lung conditions and even cancer.
Asbestos abatement is the process of identifying, containing, and removing these materials from your property so your indoor air stays safe. According to the EPA, asbestos exposure is responsible for thousands of deaths in the United States every year. Those numbers have not gone down because many older buildings still contain asbestos, and property owners have no idea about it.

Ensure Legal Asbestos Removal with Big Apple Asbestos
The NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) requires that all asbestos removal work be performed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Before any demolition or renovation in buildings built before 2007, an asbestos survey is mandatory under NYC Local Law 76.
The New York State Department of Labor also requires that abatement workers hold valid certifications and that all projects be reported through the Asbestos Control Bureau. Failure to comply can result in fines that range from $5,000 to $25,000 per violation, and in some cases, criminal charges.
On the federal level, the EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulate how asbestos is handled, transported, and disposed of. OSHA also sets exposure limits for workers at 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter over an 8-hour period.
As a licensed asbestos abatement company in Brooklyn, Big Apple Asbestos follows every regulation at the city, state, and federal levels, so your project stays compliant.

Aftercare and Follow-Up Services
Removing asbestos is just the initial step. What happens after abatement matters more because a small oversight can leave behind traces that compromise your air quality.
We provide post-abatement air quality monitoring to verify that fiber levels are within safe limits. If your property needs re-inspection after a set period, we schedule follow-up visits. For properties with partial encapsulation, we recommend periodic checks to confirm that the sealed materials are still intact and have not degraded over time.
Many property owners in Brooklyn assume that once the asbestos is removed, the issue is gone for good. But without proper follow-up, you are just guessing that the air inside your building is safe.

Schedule a follow-up inspection with our asbestos abatement service team and keep your property safe for the long run.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - the things you want to know
How much does asbestos abatement cost in Brooklyn?
The asbestos abatement cost depends on the size of the affected area, the type of material, and the method used for removal or encapsulation. We provide a detailed quote after the inspection so you know what to expect.
How long does the asbestos abatement process take?
Small residential projects may take 1 to 3 days, while larger commercial jobs can take a week or more. The timeline depends on the scope of contamination and the type of asbestos abatement service required.
Can I stay in my home during asbestos removal?
In most cases, you will need to leave the work area during active removal. Our containment systems isolate the affected zones, but for your safety, we recommend staying elsewhere until air clearance testing confirms the space is safe.
Is asbestos testing required before renovation in Brooklyn?
Yes. NYC law requires an asbestos survey before any renovation or demolition work in buildings constructed before 2007. Skipping this step can result in fines and legal action.
How do I find a licensed asbestos abatement contractor near me?
Look for contractors who hold NYC DEP and NYS Department of Labor certifications. At Big Apple Asbestos, we carry all required licenses and can provide proof of credentials before starting any project.
