Central Insulation Systems has been handling complex asbestos removal projects for major university systems for over three decades, including extensive work at the University of Cincinnati's DAAP renovation and stadium projects. This depth of institutional experience translates directly to residential and commercial properties throughout Lexington, KY, where older buildings along streets like Main Street and in neighborhoods like Chevy Chase often contain similar hazardous materials requiring careful remediation.
When Lexington property owners Google 'best asbestos removal near me,' they find a company that operates with full EPA and OSHA compliance across all services, from asbestos pipe removal in historic downtown buildings to complete hazardous waste remediation in commercial facilities. The company's expertise extends beyond basic removal to include specialized services like asbestos boiler insulation removal and floor tile abatement, critical capabilities for Lexington's mix of century-old homes and mid-century commercial buildings that define much of the city's architectural landscape.
Central Insulation Systems' partnerships with major contractors like Turner Construction and Messer Construction demonstrate the trust that industry professionals place in their work. Their Fayette County operations cover everything from blown attic insulation for energy efficiency improvements near the University of Kentucky campus to fireproofing services for new commercial construction, making them among the best comprehensive insulation and remediation providers serving Lexington and surrounding areas.
Is it too late to add insulation to my house
You can add insulation to any house in Lexington, whether it's a 1980s ranch in Chevy Chase or a pre-war home downtown. Older houses actually see the biggest energy savings because they often have minimal wall insulation and outdated attic coverage. Blown-in insulation fits into existing walls without major construction, and most homeowners recover their investment through lower utility bills within four years.

What Our Customers Say
Our Work
Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations
Most homes in Lexington were built between the 1940s and 1980s, which means asbestos in pipe insulation, floor tiles, and boiler wrapping. If you live in Chevy Chase or anywhere near downtown, you've probably got asbestos mastic under those kitchen tiles or wrapped around the furnace pipes in your basement. The University of Kentucky campus runs on steam systems from the same era. When you need that material out safely, it's not a DIY job. It's EPA-regulated work that shuts down wrong if the crew doesn't know the rules.
We've been running abatement crews through Fayette County since the 1990s. Most of our jobs come through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on commercial projects, but we also work directly with homeowners who find asbestos during renovations. Our trucks are parked at University of Kentucky projects most weeks, and we've done removal work at Cincinnati Public Schools and Ohio University for three decades. If you're dealing with asbestos in an older Lexington home, you need a crew that's been doing this work since before the internet.
