Can I remove asbestos siding myself in Dayton?
Why DIY asbestos siding and roof shingle removal puts your family at risk and costs more in the end.
You found asbestos siding on your Dayton home and got sticker shock from removal quotes. Many homeowners in older Oakwood and Riverside neighborhoods wonder if they can tackle this project themselves to save money. The short answer is no, and here's why.
Asbestos siding was common in Dayton homes built between 1920 and 1980. When these materials break or get disturbed, they release microscopic fibers that cause lung cancer and mesothelioma. Even small amounts can contaminate your entire house through your HVAC system.
DIY asbestos removal is illegal in Ohio without proper licenses and permits. You need specialized containment equipment, air monitoring, and hazardous waste disposal permits. A single mistake can cost $50,000 to $100,000 in professional decontamination. Most insurance policies won't cover DIY asbestos damage.
Contact a licensed asbestos removal contractor this week for a proper assessment. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles the permits, containment, removal, and disposal according to EPA requirements. Licensed contractors also carry insurance that protects you if something goes wrong during the work.
Once properly removed by professionals, your home is safe for your family and future buyers. The work comes with documentation that proves the job was done correctly and legally.
What people in Dayton say
"THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE."
"I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day."
"I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!"
