Syri Jepson
SAFE provided outstanding service. Scheduling was easy, communication was prompt, and the testing was completed efficiently. They took the time to answer all of our questions and explain the results in a way that was easy to understand. It's refreshing to work with a company that is both knowledgeable and customer-focused. Highly recommend!
Thomas Carr
I had a fantastic experience from start to finish with S.A.F.E. The on-site staff explained everything in layman's terms and completed the project exactly as described (both the testing and the abatement). I especially appreciated that they were willing to move my stuff around as needed, rather than demanding I completely empty the area before they begin their work. While I hope I never have to abate asbestos ever again, they would be first on my list to call.

Well, I was told by Home Depot that my townhome, which was built in 1979 I think, needed to have an asbestos test on a 3 foot piece of tile flooring in front of my front door. Then, Christopher from S.A.F.E solutions told me I had subflooring under the carpet and tile, and was very honest with me. And, he explained to me that companies like Home Depot blame the State for these "requirements" but unfortunately it is required. If you get work done by Home Depot make sure to call Solutions for Asbestos Free Environment. They can help you come up with a game plan! Thank you SAFE for your help

Mark came out to check our ceiling tiles to see if they were asbestos. He was right on time. New exactly what he was doing. Very nice and professional. Thankfully no asbestos!!

Client questions
Straight answers to practical questions
If you don't see your question here, just call — we'd rather talk it through than have you guess.
If you're planning a renovation, repair, or demolition in a building constructed before the late 1980s and you're not sure about certain materials — floor tile, popcorn ceilings, siding, pipe insulation, drywall compounds — testing can tell you whether asbestos is present before you disturb it. We can help you decide based on what you're seeing.
