Asbestos Removal & Testing in Charleston, SC by TSIAC International

Asbestos Removal & Testing Charleston, SC

Asbestos was used for decades in insulation, flooring, siding and ceiling materials because it resists heat and fire. The problem is that when those materials get old, damaged or disturbed during a renovation or demolition, the fibers can get into the air — and that's when they become a danger to your family. If you suspect asbestos in your home or building, our team handles Asbestos Removal & Testing in Charleston, SC from the first sample all the way through to final air testing, so you know the space is safe to use again.

Our Asbestos Removal & Testing process

Asbestos work has to be done in a certain order to keep everyone safe. Here's how we handle it:

  1. Sampling and lab analysis. We take samples from the materials we suspect contain asbestos and send them to a lab for analysis. This tells us exactly what we're dealing with before any work starts.
  2. Sealing off the area. If asbestos is confirmed, we contain the space so fibers can't spread to the rest of your home or building while we work.
  3. Safe extraction. Our crew carefully removes the asbestos-containing materials using the right equipment and protective measures, keeping the area controlled the whole time.
  4. Proper disposal. The materials are bagged, sealed and taken away for disposal the right way — not left sitting on your property.
  5. Post-removal air testing. Once the asbestos has been removed, an air sample is sent to the lab to confirm no fibers are still present inside the property. Once the lab results come back clear, you can re-enter the property.

We walk you through each step so you're never left guessing about what's happening or why.

How do you know if my building actually has asbestos?

We start by collecting samples from the materials we suspect, then send them for lab analysis. Asbestos was common in older insulation, floor tiles, siding and pipe wrapping, so if your property dates back a few decades, testing is the only way to be sure. Call us at (843) 564-8790 and we'll set up the sampling.

What does your asbestos removal process involve?

Once testing confirms asbestos, we seal off the work area to keep fibers from spreading, carefully extract the affected materials, and handle disposal according to the rules for hazardous material. After everything is out, we run post-removal air testing so you know the space is clear before anyone goes back in.

Is it safe to stay in my property during asbestos work?

We contain the work zone to protect the rest of your building, but whether you can stay usually depends on where the asbestos is and how much we're removing. We'll walk you through what to expect for your specific project and let you know if you should be out of the area while our crew works.

Can I just remove the asbestos myself?

We don't recommend it. Disturbing asbestos releases fibers into the air that are hazardous to breathe, and the material has to be sealed, handled and disposed of properly. Our team uses protective measures throughout the job to keep the site and everyone around it safe. Give us a call and we'll take care of it the right way.

Do you test the air after the asbestos is removed?

Yes. Pulling out the material is only part of the job. We follow up with air testing to confirm the fiber levels are back to safe before we close things out, and we document the work so you have a record. No project is too big or too complex for our crew.

    I had rotting wood in my carport roof, which was like a drop ceiling with framing in between and full shingles etc. I was paranoid about termites since it's springtime and Andra and his team came out the very next day. They were on time and worked quickly and efficiently. I really appreciate how they did the demo, functionally, aesthetically and respectful. They didn't just hack away with no regard. They left the posts in a smart way and I am still able to use them in the meantime. Andra is clear with communication and also straight forward and fair with pricing. I'm glad I found them and I would definitely call them again!

    Andra and his team did a phenomenal job doing an interior demo on an old house from the 1940s that my wife and I recently purchased. Throughout the entire process Andra was responsive, flexible, and fair, which made the entire process as easy as it could be. I’d recommend Andra and his team for a job a million times over.

    Andre and his team demo a shed for my parents home. He showed up not on time, but AHEAD of time. He and his team took care of everything quickly and professionally. He was also available within a week of me reaching out to him! Thank you for completing this project in a timely manner.

    Andra and his crew did a great job demolishing the stucco, glass, and metal panels. They were great about cleaning up after themselves as well! Highly recommend
