What lands on paper before work starts
Each material named
Every suspect item listed by room, with the lab result next to it.
Containment described
Sheeting, sealed openings and HEPA negative air, laid out up front.
Wet methods, start to end

Waste sealed and tracked
Double-bagged, tagged and trucked off to a disposal site with the permit for it.
Clearance before reentry
An independent air test signs off on the space. Not the crew.
Asbestos Work for Hicksville Homes, Shops and Job Sites
Some calls start with a boiler swap. Some start with a cracked tile under a kitchen cabinet. Some start with a stop work order on a job in Queens. Five kinds of work, one phone number, and the same rule on every one: the plan gets written down before anything gets touched.
Asbestos Removal
Boiler jackets and pipe lagging. Nine-inch tile with the black glue beneath. Cottage-cheese ceilings, old taped seams, cement shingles, wrapped ducts. Cleared under poly and negative air before a remodel, a heating swap, a closing or a knockdown.
Emergency Asbestos Removal
A pipe burst, a fire, a storm, or a contractor who pulled the ceiling before anyone tested it. Someone picks up whatever the clock says, and a crew heads over to box it in and clean it up.
Asbestos Testing
A certified inspector samples what you plan to disturb and an accredited lab gives the verdict. You learn which items are a problem and which are harmless before a dollar goes toward removal.
ACP-5 Filing
Built for projects inside the five boroughs, whoever owns them. A DEP-certified investigator walks the space, then signs the Asbestos Assessment Report that rides along with your Buildings permit.
DEP Asbestos Stop Work Order Removal
City DEP halted your New York City job over disturbed asbestos? We line up paperwork, licensed cleanup and air sampling so the case can head toward DEP sign-off.
Six Steps. No Gray Areas.
You call
Describe the place, the stuff you are worried about and why it came up. A remodel, a leak, a buyer's inspection, a permit on hold. Mention any order or deadline already in play.
We sample
A certified inspector cuts small pieces from anything suspicious. An accredited lab confirms what contains asbestos and what does not. No guessing by eye.
You get the scope
Notifications or filings are prepared. Then scope and price land in your hands on paper, item by item: removal list, sealing method, waste destination.
We seal it off
Poly walls go up, every register and doorway is taped over, and a HEPA air scrubber holds the room under negative pressure. Dust has nowhere to go but the filter.
We remove it wet
Licensed handlers mist it down, lift it out and pack it into tagged, sealed bags bound for a disposal site permitted to accept it.
The air gets cleared
HEPA vacuuming, wet wiping, then an independent air test. The plastic stays up until that test passes. Then your contractor or your family moves back in.
Why the Calls Keep Coming to This Line
Asbestos jobs go sideways in three places: nobody answers when it is urgent, the paperwork stalls the permit, or the waste ends up somewhere it should not. Here is how we close those gaps.
Somebody picks up at any hour
Material does not wait for business hours to break loose. The line is answered day or night, weekends included, and if the damage is already done, a crew rolls out to box it in.
The filings are handled
ACP-5 assessments for city jobs, project notifications for larger ones, and the legwork behind lifting a DEP stop work order. Your permit and your inspection are not left waiting on a missing form.
Waste goes where it belongs
Every scrap comes out damp, goes into two layers of bag or wrap, gets a label and rides to a permitted dump. The paperwork stays on file, so you can prove where it ended up.
Working Out of Hicksville Across Central Nassau
Hicksville sits at the crossroads of central Nassau County, a hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay with the Long Island Rail Road station at its center and the Northern State Parkway and Long Island Expressway at its edges. A lot of its houses went up in the postwar building boom, the same years asbestos was going into floor tile, pipe wrap and siding. That is why so many remodels here turn up a suspect material somewhere. From here the crew covers the neighborhoods north toward Jericho and Syosset, east into Plainview and Bethpage and south through Levittown, Wantagh and Massapequa.
Capes, ranches and split-levels
Original tile under the carpet, wrap on the basement pipes, cement shingles under newer siding. Typical finds in homes from that era, and all of them get tested before anyone touches them.
Storefronts and offices
Older commercial spaces along the main roads carry the same materials in ceilings, flooring and mechanical rooms. Work gets planned around your tenants and your hours.
City jobs, Nassau clients
Plenty of owners and contractors based here own buildings in Queens, Brooklyn or Manhattan. The ACP-5s and DEP orders tied to those addresses run through this same phone line.

Straight Answers on Asbestos
The questions homeowners and contractors ask before they hire anyone.
Can you spot asbestos just by looking at it?
No. It hides inside materials that look perfectly normal, and plenty of identical-looking tiles and wraps have none in them. Only a lab can settle it, working from a piece a certified inspector cut out and sealed. Until then, treat a suspect material as if it does contain asbestos and leave it alone.
What is air monitoring, and who runs the clearance test?
Air monitoring means sampling the air during and after the job to check for fibers. In New York it is done by an independent party, not the removal crew, so the people who did the work are not grading it. The clearance test at the end has to pass before the containment comes down and anyone moves back in.
Does old asbestos floor tile have to come out, or can I cover it?
Not always. Intact tile can often stay in place under new flooring, as long as nothing sands, grinds or cuts into it. If your project means pulling the tile, leveling the subfloor or breaking up the mastic underneath, removal comes first. We will tell you which one your job actually needs.
How do I find out if my house has asbestos?
Testing. A certified inspector checks whatever your project will disturb, pulls small pieces of anything suspicious and ships them off for accredited lab analysis. The report tells you, item by item, what contains asbestos and what does not. Houses from the seventies or earlier, and some from the early eighties, deserve the closest look.
Which materials in an older home are most likely to contain it?
Start in the basement: heating pipe lagging and boiler jackets. Then the floors, where old vinyl tile often sits on black glue. Overhead, popcorn finishes and taped drywall seams. Outside, cement shingles on walls and roofs, with ductwork wrap rounding out the list. None of it is confirmed until a lab says so.
Will asbestos removal hold up my renovation?
It adds a step, but planning for it keeps that step from turning into a delay. Sampling early shows what must go before the carpenters arrive, so removal slots in ahead of demolition. The jobs that stall are the ones where asbestos turns up halfway through.
What actually happens on removal day?
Poly sheeting walls off the room, vents and gaps get taped and a HEPA unit holds the space under negative pressure. Handlers mist the material, lift it away and pack it into tagged, sealed bags. Then comes HEPA vacuuming and a wet wipe of every surface, and nobody re-enters until an independent air sample passes.
Where does the asbestos go once it leaves my house?
To a disposal site whose permit covers asbestos waste. The waste is wetted, sealed in labeled bags or wrapping and transported under the rules that cover it. It never goes in household trash or an ordinary dumpster.
