Planning a DIY Renovation? Test Suspect Materials First

Before disturbing materials in an older home, arrange appropriate asbestos testing. Suspect materials may include:

Older vinyl floor tiles and the adhesive beneath them.
Textured or popcorn ceilings.
Plaster and joint compound.
Older pipe insulation and furnace materials.
Some attic insulation products.

Do Not Disturb Suspect Materials Before Testing

Cutting, sanding or removing asbestos-containing materials can release hazardous fibers. Avoid disturbing suspect materials until they have been assessed.

Poplar Grove Asbestos FAQs

I already started removing old floor tiles. What should I do?

Stop work, keep people and pets away, and avoid sweeping or using an ordinary vacuum on the debris. Contact a qualified asbestos professional for advice.

Can I remove asbestos myself?

Requirements depend on the material, project and applicable regulations. Professional abatement is strongly recommended because improper handling can spread hazardous fibres. Check current Illinois requirements before proceeding.

Will suspected asbestos stop a home sale?

Not necessarily. Testing and a written scope can help buyers and sellers make informed decisions about the property.

Can I verify your licence?

Ask Power Restoration of Rockford for its current licence details and applicable credentials before work begins.
