Asbestos is safe when left undisturbed, but problems occur when it is disturbed, releasing fibers into the air and causing it to become airborne. Alga Environmental offers comprehensive asbestos abatement services that can help create a healthier living environment. Our certified professionals are trained to test and remove asbestos from both residential and commercial properties.
Alga Environmental follows a meticulous, step-by-step process for removing asbestos from your home or office. Our asbestos removal process includes the following:
Planning, Demarcation, and Setup
We develop a detailed plan outlining how we will treat the area. Once the plan is in place, we demarcate the hazardous zone, seal the air ducts, disable the HVAC system, and secure areas that do not require removal.
Asbestos Removal
We utilize hand tools and wet methods to safely remove asbestos and affected materials. Our team wears protective clothing and respirators during removal, minimizing the risk of exposure. All removed materials are placed into asbestos disposal bags, sealed, and transported through a decontamination unit, as required by NYCDEP standards.
Particulate Cleaning and Final Cleaning
Our technicians use specialized vacuums with HEPA filtration to eliminate asbestos fibers and clean surfaces. After all asbestos and other materials are removed, we employ wet methods and HEPA vacuuming to thoroughly clean the entire work area. If required by the NYCDEP, a third-party contractor conducts air clearance sampling to ensure that airborne asbestos levels are within acceptable limits.

Homeowners insurance typically does not cover asbestos removal, as it’s often considered a maintenance issue or a pre-existing condition. Your insurance provider will be able to give you the most accurate answer when it comes to your policy.
Yes, in most cases, you will need to vacate the property or at least the affected areas during the abatement process to avoid exposure to asbestos fibers.
The cost of asbestos abatement varies depending on the size of the project, the location, and the extent of the asbestos contamination. This price usually depends on the square foot or linear foot of the project and site layout. Most asbestos abatement estimates will require a free site visit and estimate.
NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) states that all homes built prior to 2004 are required to have a full survey completed prior to an renovation or demolition project commencing. A professional asbestos survey can confirm the presence of asbestos-containing materials and will be required when filing for the NYCDEP required permitting for asbestos abatement.

Buildings constructed before the 1990s are more likely to contain asbestos in materials like insulation, floor tiles, and ceiling tiles. If your property dates back to this period, it’s essential to have it inspected for asbestos.
If you see deteriorating or crumbling materials in your home or building, such as insulation or floor tiles, they may contain asbestos. Damaged asbestos-containing materials can release dangerous fibers into the air, posing significant health risks.
Older insulation found in walls, attics, or around pipes could contain asbestos. If you suspect your insulation may contain this harmful material, have it inspected by professionals to ensure safety.
