We are an asbestos abatement company first. Testing is the essential starting point that helps property owners, contractors and project teams decide what must happen before work begins.
Boston’s brownstones, triple-deckers, older schools and commercial buildings can contain asbestos in materials that look ordinary. A professional survey and laboratory analysis help distinguish an assumption from a documented finding.
Tell us what you plan to renovate or remove. We’ll help you establish the assessment needs and discuss how the findings inform an abatement plan—without treating every positive result as an automatic removal job.
A specific concern
A kitchen remodel, a boiler replacement or a commercial fit-out can disturb materials that have remained intact for years. Arrange an assessment while your project is still being planned.
Identify suspect materials within the work area before cutting, drilling, stripping or demolition.
Get professional advice when insulation or other suspect materials are deteriorating or have been disturbed.
Use an appropriately scoped assessment to inform renovation budgets and future work—not as a blanket guarantee.
Common suspect materials
From inspection to answers
Some intact asbestos-containing materials may be managed in place when they will not be disturbed. Materials affected by renovation, damage or demolition may require a different approach.
When removal is necessary, asbestos abatement is our core work. JH can discuss containment, controlled removal, waste handling and appropriate independent clearance with your project team. The testing findings inform that scope; they do not replace it.
