1. Independent Site Inspection & Certified Third-Party Testing

To ensure complete transparency and avoid any conflict of interest, we coordinate with an independent, state-licensed environmental firm for all asbestos testing. This guarantees you an unbiased assessment of your property, giving you the confidence that removal is only recommended when absolutely necessary.

2. Airtight Containment & Site Preparation

Safety is our first priority. We create a fully sealed containment zone using heavy-duty polyethylene sheeting and negative air pressure systems to ensure that zero asbestos fibers escape into the rest of your property during the process.

4. Thorough Decontamination & Air Clearance Verification

After removal, we decontaminate the work area with high-efficiency HEPA vacuums. For final verification, we can coordinate third-party air clearance testing, which certifies that the air is clean, safe, and meets all state requirements.

Frequently Asked Question

What exactly is asbestos and why is it dangerous?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral composed of microscopic fibers. Due to its heat resistance and durability, it was heavily used in building materials until the 1980s. It is dangerous because, if disturbed, it releases these fibers into the air. When inhaled, they can become lodged in the lungs and, over time, cause serious illnesses like asbestosis and cancer.

How do I know if I have asbestos in my home?

It's impossible to know just by looking. Generally, if your home was built before 1985, there is a chance it contains asbestos in materials like attic insulation (vermiculite), floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, exterior siding, or pipe wrap. The only way to be 100% certain is through laboratory testing.

Should I take a sample myself to get it tested?

No, never. Taking a sample yourself without the proper equipment and protocols can be very dangerous, as it can release a high concentration of fibers in a small area. You should always contact a certified professional for inspection and sampling. We coordinate this service with independent firms to ensure your safety. (You can read more on our [Asbestos Inspection & Testing] page).

Is it safe to stay in my home during the asbestos removal process?

It depends on the scope and location of the project. For small, well-contained jobs, it may be possible to remain in the house. For larger projects, especially those in high-traffic areas or involving the HVAC system, we recommend arranging to be off the property. Your family's safety is our #1 priority, and we will always give you a clear and honest recommendation for your specific situation.

How long does an asbestos removal project take?

The duration varies depending on the size and complexity of the job. A small project in a basement might take 1-2 days. A full attic abatement could take 3-5 days or more. Your detailed estimate will include a projected timeline.

What happens to the asbestos after you remove it?

Asbestos is a regulated hazardous waste. All material is placed in sealed and labeled bags or containers according to EPA and CT DEEP regulations. It is then transported by licensed haulers to a specific landfill that is licensed to receive asbestos waste. We provide you with all disposal documentation for your records.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

The cost varies and depends on several factors: the amount of material to be removed, its location and accessibility, and the type of material (loose vermiculite is different from floor tiles). This is why we cannot give a price without seeing the site. What we do guarantee is a detailed, transparent estimate with no hidden costs.

Is the estimate free?

Yes, absolutely. Our initial site visit to assess the project and provide you with a detailed estimate is completely free and without obligation.

Are there any financial aid or rebate programs available?

Yes! The most notable case is the ZAI Trust, which can reimburse homeowners for a significant portion of the cost of vermiculite insulation removal. We are very familiar with this process and can guide you through it. (You can read more on our Rebates & Cost-Saving Programs page).

Are you licensed and insured in Connecticut?

Yes. Alberca Construction Company LLC holds all required licenses from the state of Connecticut for asbestos and hazardous material abatement. We also carry full general liability insurance and a specific pollution liability insurance policy for your complete protection and peace of mind. (You can see more on our Certifications page).

What areas of Connecticut do you serve?

We serve the entire state of Connecticut from our base in Hartford.

How far in advance do I need to schedule my project?

We try to be as flexible as possible. Generally, once an estimate is approved, we can schedule work to begin within 1-2 weeks, depending on our current workload. For emergency situations, we will do everything we can to assist you sooner.
