Estate Sales, Property Transfers and Demolition

When a family farmhouse changes hands, is cleared out for sale, or is scheduled to come down, asbestos often becomes a question for the first time. Buyers, lenders and demolition contractors may want testing results and removal records.

Rochelle Asbestos FAQ

Is it safe to leave cement siding on the house?

Intact cement siding is generally stable. It becomes a concern when it's broken, weathered badly or will be cut, drilled or removed.

We're tearing down an old outbuilding. Do we need testing first?

Testing before demolition is strongly recommended, and some demolition projects require it. Check with the Illinois EPA or call us to talk through your project.

Can you remove asbestos from a house we're selling?

Yes. We provide documentation that buyers and lenders can review.

Can I see your license?

Yes. License information is provided on request.
