Asbestos Testing & Abatement You Can Document
From a single pipe elbow to a full building strip-out, ABBN surveys, contains, removes and disposes of asbestos-containing materials under NYS DOL and EPA protocols — with the filings and clearance results your inspector, lender or architect needs.

What asbestos abatement involves
Asbestos was used in pipe and boiler insulation, floor tile and mastic, roofing, siding, joint compound and textured ceilings well into the 1980s. Intact material is often safe; disturbed material releases fibers that stay airborne for hours. Abatement means surveying and sampling the suspect material, building sealed containment under negative air pressure, wetting and removing the material by hand, HEPA-vacuuming and wipe-cleaning the space, then verifying with air clearance testing before the barriers come down.
Signs you need asbestos abatement
- Renovation or demolition in a building constructed before 1990
- Crumbling white or grey wrap on basement pipes and boilers
- 9x9 floor tiles or black mastic under newer flooring
- Textured 'popcorn' ceilings being scraped or sanded
- Damaged transite siding, roofing felt or shingles
- A DOB, DEP or lender requirement for an ACP-5 filing
How our asbestos abatement works
- 1
Survey and bulk sampling, analyzed by an accredited lab.
- 2
Filings and notifications — ACP-5/ACP-7, DEP and DOB as required.
- 3
Sealed containment, negative air machines and wet removal by licensed handlers.
- 4
Air clearance testing, disposal manifests and a full documentation package.
Filings, manifests and clearance
Every project closes with the paperwork trail regulators ask for: pre-work notifications, licensed-handler records, daily air-monitoring logs, third-party clearance results and signed waste manifests showing the material reached an approved landfill. That package is what keeps a stop-work order from turning into a shutdown — and what your buyer's attorney will ask for at closing.

Asbestos Abatement — common questions
In New York City, most permitted work in pre-1990 buildings requires an asbestos assessment and an ACP-5 filing before the DOB will issue the permit. Outside NYC, the requirement varies but lenders and general contractors usually ask for one anyway.
