Vetted Asbestos Removal Specialists Serving Irvine and the Central Orange County

Finding asbestos in your Irvine home or commercial property is unsettling. Whether it showed up during a renovation, a pre-sale inspection, or routine maintenance, you need professionals who understand both the regulations and the realities of working in a master-planned community like Irvine. Our vetted asbestos removal specialists handle abatement the right way—safely, legally, and with minimal disruption to your property and your life.

Why Irvine Properties Need Asbestos Removal

Irvine presents a unique situation when it comes to asbestos. While the city is known for its newer, master-planned developments, a significant portion of its housing stock was built during the 1970s and 1980s—right in the window when asbestos was still commonly used in construction materials.

The Irvine Company began developing the area in the 1960s, and many of the city's original neighborhoods—including Woodbridge, University Park, Turtle Rock, and Northwood—feature homes built between 1970 and 1985. These properties often contain asbestos in floor tiles, pipe insulation, popcorn ceilings, roof shingles, and HVAC duct insulation. Even some homes built into the early 1980s may have asbestos-containing materials, as the phaseout was gradual.

With a population exceeding 300,000 and median home ages ranging from 35 to 50+ years in established neighborhoods, many Irvine homeowners discover asbestos when they begin renovation projects. That kitchen remodel or bathroom update can quickly become complicated when testing reveals asbestos in the flooring or ceiling texture.

Irvine's semi-arid Mediterranean climate—with hot, dry summers reaching the mid-80s to low 90s and mild winters—means homes here don't face the moisture-related deterioration common in other regions. However, asbestos materials can still become friable (crumbly and dangerous) over time, especially in attics where summer heat accelerates aging. When disturbed during renovations or repairs, these materials release microscopic fibers that pose serious health risks including mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Our Asbestos Removal Process in Irvine

Every asbestos removal project in Irvine follows strict Cal/OSHA and South Coast AQMD Rule 1403 requirements. Here's what to expect:

Initial Assessment and Testing — Before any removal begins, we confirm the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials. If you haven't had testing done, we coordinate accredited lab analysis to identify exactly what we're dealing with and where it's located throughout your property.
Containment Setup — Our vetted specialists establish proper containment using plastic sheeting, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA filtration. This prevents fiber release into other areas of your home or building. We post required warning signs and ensure the work area is completely sealed.
Safe Removal and Abatement — Licensed C-22 certified professionals carefully remove asbestos materials using wet methods and specialized techniques that minimize fiber release. All materials are double-bagged in approved containers and labeled according to EPA NESHAP requirements.
Air Monitoring and Clearance — Throughout the process and after completion, air monitoring confirms fiber levels remain safe. Final clearance testing verifies the abatement was successful before we release the work area back to you.

What to Expect

Clear Communication: You'll know exactly what's happening at every stage. We explain the scope, timeline, and any findings in plain language—no jargon, no runaround.
Proper Documentation: You'll receive all required documentation including test results, abatement records, and disposal manifests. This paperwork is essential for real estate transactions and your own records.
Minimal Disruption: We understand Irvine homeowners value their well-maintained properties. Our vetted professionals work efficiently and leave the area clean and ready for your next steps, whether that's continuing a renovation or simply returning to normal.
Compliance Guaranteed: Every job follows Cal/OSHA regulations, South Coast AQMD Rule 1403, and EPA NESHAP standards. There are no shortcuts when it comes to asbestos—proper handling protects your family and keeps you on the right side of the law.
