Central Insulation Systems
Serving Frankfort

Central Insulation Systems Inc. has maintained a three-decade track record of handling complex asbestos removal and environmental remediation projects for major universities, a foundation that serves Franklin County property owners facing similar hazardous material challenges. Their extensive experience with institutional facilities translates directly to the older commercial and residential buildings throughout Frankfort, where asbestos-containing materials are commonly found in structures built before 1980. When Frankfort property owners search for the best environmental remediation services near them, they find a company with the regulatory compliance expertise and specialized equipment needed for safe hazardous material removal.

The company's comprehensive service range addresses the specific environmental challenges common to Kentucky's climate and building patterns. Their blown attic insulation and fiberglass wall insulation services help Frankfort homeowners manage the temperature extremes that come with the region's humid summers and cold winters, while their HVAC duct insulation installation ensures efficient climate control in both residential and commercial properties. Along US 60 and throughout the Downtown district, older buildings often require their specialized asbestos pipe removal and lead paint abatement services to meet current safety standards during renovations.

Fully licensed for EPA and OSHA compliance, Central Insulation Systems brings institutional-grade expertise to Franklin County projects of all sizes. Their established relationships with major contractors like Messer Construction and Turner Construction demonstrate the trust that large-scale operations place in their work quality and regulatory adherence. Whether addressing hazardous waste remediation in a historic Frankfort building or installing fireproofing services in new commercial construction, they apply the same rigorous safety standards that have earned them repeat contracts with universities across multiple decades.

Common Question in Frankfort

Do I need my attic insulation replaced after water damage?

Water-soaked insulation in your Frankfort attic needs to come out completely, even if it looks like it might dry on its own. Once fiberglass or cellulose gets saturated from roof leaks or pipe bursts, it loses its insulating power and becomes a breeding ground for mold in Kentucky's humid climate. The safest move is full removal, proper drying of the attic space, and fresh insulation installed to current energy codes.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
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.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
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!

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Frankfort were built between the 1940s and 1970s, back when asbestos was standard in everything from floor tiles to pipe insulation. If you live in South Frankfort or anywhere near the older neighborhoods around Downtown, your house probably has it somewhere. The bigger issue is when you find it during a renovation or after a pipe leak. You can't just rip it out yourself. Franklin County follows strict EPA rules, and the penalties for improper removal hit homeowners hard.

We've been running asbestos crews through Kentucky since the 1990s, working with contractors like Messer and Turner on everything from university projects to government buildings near the Capitol complex. Our trucks have been on jobs at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State, and dozens of school districts across Ohio and Kentucky. If you're dealing with asbestos in an older Frankfort home, you need a crew that's done this work before and knows the regulations that protect you and your neighbors.
