Asbestos Removal & Insulation Experts Since 1988

The walls and fixtures you need to remove are blocking your renovation project from moving forward. Old drywall, ceiling tiles, and built-in cabinets have to come out before the new work can start. Central Insulation Systems Inc. handles interior demolition across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.

Why You Can Trust Us

Ohio Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor: License #AC1226

Interior demolition work depends on what decade your building was constructed. Buildings from the 1950s through 1980s often have asbestos in drywall compound, ceiling tiles, and pipe insulation. You'll see 9-inch square ceiling tiles, textured wall surfaces, or white pipe wrap around heating systems. The materials look normal but require testing before removal.

You can't move forward with your renovation until the old materials come out safely. Your general contractor won't touch walls that might contain asbestos. The project timeline stops completely while you figure out who can handle the demolition work. Insurance won't cover damage if hazardous materials get disturbed incorrectly.

Central Insulation Systems Inc. tests all suspect materials before starting any demolition work. The crew seals off your work area with plastic sheeting and negative air machines. Central Insulation Systems Inc. removes fixtures first, then ceiling materials, then wall sections in the right sequence to keep dust contained. All debris gets packaged according to EPA rules and disposed of at licensed facilities. New framing or drywall installation is separate if you want it after the demolition is complete.

Your space will be clean and ready for the next phase of construction. The air quality will meet clearance standards for safe occupancy. Your contractor can start the rebuild work without any environmental concerns.

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!

Common questions

lead paint removal vs encapsulation

Your house has lead paint. One contractor wants to remove it completely. Another says encapsulation is fine. You don't know which approach is better.

Encapsulation is cheaper and faster but temporary. Complete removal costs more but eliminates the problem forever. If you're renovating or have young children, removal is usually worth the extra cost.
