Asbestos Removal in Costa Mesa, CA — MoldRx

Vetted Asbestos Removal Specialists Serving Costa Mesa and the Central Orange County

If you've discovered asbestos in your Costa Mesa home—or suspect it might be there—you're probably feeling a mix of concern and uncertainty. That's completely understandable. Costa Mesa has a housing stock that spans several decades, and many homes built before 1980 contain asbestos in places you might not expect. The good news? With the right professionals handling it, asbestos removal doesn't have to be overwhelming. MoldRx coordinates licensed, vetted abatement specialists who know exactly how to handle these situations safely and properly.

Why Costa Mesa Properties Need Asbestos Removal

Costa Mesa's development history tells an important story for homeowners. The city incorporated in 1953 and experienced significant growth through the 1960s and 1970s—right in the heart of the asbestos era. Many homes in neighborhoods like Mesa Verde, College Park, Eastside Costa Mesa, and Mesa del Mar were built during this period when asbestos was considered a miracle material for insulation, flooring, roofing, and dozens of other applications.

The median home construction year in Costa Mesa falls somewhere in the mid-1960s to early 1970s, which means a substantial portion of the city's approximately 113,000 residents live in homes that are 50 to 70 years old. This puts Costa Mesa squarely in the high asbestos likelihood category. Materials commonly containing asbestos in these homes include popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tiles, pipe insulation, HVAC duct tape, roof shingles, and even some textured wall compounds.

What makes this particularly relevant right now? Costa Mesa's desirable location—close to the beach, near South Coast Plaza, and with excellent freeway access—means many homeowners are renovating older properties rather than moving. And here's the critical point: disturbing asbestos-containing materials during renovation releases microscopic fibers into the air. Those fibers, once inhaled, can cause serious health conditions including mesothelioma and asbestosis—sometimes decades after exposure.

If you're planning any renovation, demolition, or repair work on a Costa Mesa home built before 1980, Asbestos Testing should happen before anyone picks up a hammer.

Our Asbestos Removal Process in Costa Mesa

Every asbestos removal project in Costa Mesa follows strict Cal/OSHA regulations and South Coast AQMD Rule 1403 requirements. Here's what that looks like in practice:

1. Comprehensive Assessment Before any work begins, our vetted specialists conduct a thorough assessment of your property. This includes reviewing previous testing results (or coordinating testing if needed), identifying all asbestos-containing materials, and developing a detailed abatement plan specific to your Costa Mesa property.

2. Containment and Preparation The work area is completely sealed off using heavy plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems. This prevents any asbestos fibers from escaping into the rest of your home. Warning signs are posted, and all HVAC systems in the affected area are shut down and sealed.

3. Safe Removal and Disposal Licensed abatement professionals—holding C-22 contractor licenses as required by California law—carefully remove asbestos-containing materials using wet methods and HEPA-filtered equipment. All waste is double-bagged in approved containers and transported to authorized disposal facilities. Nothing gets cut corners here.

4. Clearance and Documentation After removal, air monitoring confirms that fiber levels are safe. You receive complete documentation of the work performed, disposal manifests, and clearance results—important records for your files and any future property transactions.
