Licensed & Certified Asbestos Inspections & Removal for home owners & business owners in the state of washington
We Do Away With Asbestos
Completely and Confidentially
Asbestos is a hidden danger in many homes and buildings across Western Washington.
When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and cause serious health risks, including lung disease and cancer. That’s why state and federal regulations require certified professionals to inspect, contain, and safely remove asbestos-containing materials.
At Advance Environmental, Inc., we’ve been protecting Olympia and surrounding communities for over two decades. Our licensed asbestos inspectors and abatement crews follow strict OSHA and EPA guidelines to ensure your property is safe, compliant, and free from hazardous materials. Our team has the local expertise, certifications, and equipment to handle asbestos projects of any size.
When is Asbestos Testing Needed?
You should schedule a professional asbestos inspection if you’re planning or facing any of these situations:
Before remodeling or renovations – disturbing walls, ceilings, flooring, or insulation can release asbestos fibers.
Prior to demolition or major construction – state and county permits often require asbestos clearance before work begins.
If damage occurs – fire, water, or storm damage can expose hidden asbestos materials.
For workplace safety compliance – commercial property owners must follow OSHA/EPA regulations to protect employees.
When upgrading heating systems – older pipe insulation and boiler wrap often contain asbestos.
If vermiculite insulation is present – attic insulation made with vermiculite may be contaminated with asbestos fibers.
When buying or selling property – real estate transactions often include asbestos surveys for older homes and commercial buildings.
Where Can asbestos hide?
At Advance Environmental, Inc., every asbestos project follows strict OSHA and EPA guidelines to protect your home, your family, and our crew.
Here’s how we handle the process:
Our Asbestos Removal Process
Step 1: Inspection & Testing
Our certified AHERA Building Inspectors identify and collect samples. Certified / accredited labs confirm whether asbestos is present.
Step 2: Containment Setup
We seal the work area with plastic barriers, negative air machines, and HEPA filters to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading.
Step 3: Safe Removal
Our certified abatement crews carefully remove asbestos-containing materials, double-bagging waste in 6-mil plastic for safe handling.
Step 4: Proper Disposal
All asbestos waste is transported to a licensed facility in compliance with Washington State Department of Ecology regulations.
Step 5: Final Clearance Testing
Independent air monitoring confirms your property is safe before containment is removed and the space is returned to you.
Full Compliance With Regional Asbestos Regulations
Advance Environmental performs all asbestos inspections, reporting, notifications, and removal in full compliance with ORCAA, SWCAA, and PSCAA requirements.
Every project — from sample collection to abatement and disposal — follows the proper regional clean air procedures, ensuring your home or building is remediated safely, legally, and according to current asbestos regulations.
We handle all required air agency notifications, documentation, and disposal records so your project remains compliant from start to finish.
