Pure Restore is a full-service asbestos abatement company. We are licensed, bonded, and insured to perform residential and commercial asbestos testing and removal (abatement). The Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment handles local laws for asbestos.
Asbestos is still commonly found in building materials. Asbestos is highly regulated for our safety, and improperly disturbing it is against the law.
Asbestos is a mineral fiber that occurs in rock and soil. With its strength and heat resistant properties, asbestos has become a common mineral in building materials. Asbestos is also used in a variety of manufactured items, including roofing shingles or tiles. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) confirms most uses of asbestos are not banned. Only a few are banned under existing regulations.
There are many diseases that derive from asbestos exposure. Some of the most common being asbestosis, mesothelioma, and more. If you think you have been affected, contact your physician right away.
If you are remodeling, renovating, or demolishing then you are most likely subject to state and federal regulations requiring an inspection for asbestos.
For example: in regard to all renovation projects in Colorado, if the structures/components to be disturbed exceed asbestos trigger levels, they must be inspected for asbestos by a Colorado-certified asbestos building inspector—unless the building was built after October 12, 1988 AND the architect or engineer who built it signs and submits documentation showing that no ACM was specified or used in the construction of the building—then no inspection is needed.

Asbestos containing material is another term for any material which contains more than 1% asbestos. Because of the danger asbestos presents, these materials are highly regulated and need to be cleaned up and disposed of safely in accordance with local laws.
It is still common to see asbestos found in common building materials, including vinyl floor coverings and mastic, ceiling textures, boiler and pipe insulation, heating and cooling duct insulation, ceiling tile, roofing products, home or commercial siding materials, and more. These materials may be regulated, and a certified asbestos building inspector like Pure Restore can help determine which materials contain asbestos.
Asbestos is easily exposed when the building materials in a home are compromised. Events such as water damage or flooding, fire and smoke damage, or mold are common ways to discover asbestos. Asbestos abatement is required whenever asbestos is discovered during a remodel, renovation, or demolition process.
The asbestos abatement process has multiple layers to it.
Once an asbestos abatement company like Pure Restore is called to a project, we will perform an initial inspection to determine where asbestos could be present.
Afterwards, a hygienist who is certified by the state of Colorado as a Certified Asbestos Building Inspector (CABI) will confirm the presence of asbestos in the proposed area. Due to the regulations surrounding asbestos, the CABI must be a 3rd party that is not associated with the asbestos abatement company you are hiring.
If the hygienist confirms the presence of asbestos, we must then acquire a permit with the state of Colorado to perform asbestos abatement. The permit will take a mandatory 10-day waiting period, and this can only be waived during emergencies.
Once the permit is acquired, asbestos abatement can begin. The asbestos cleanup team will need head-to-toe protection—including a full respirator—to avoid contact and inhalation of asbestos particles. When asbestos is disturbed, it breaks apart into tiny particles which are extremely harmful or deadly to humans.
To safely perform asbestos abatement, the home or structure will need multiple chambers to avoid cross-contamination. When our team arrives at the home or structure, they will set up a containment area. That will include disabling heating/air ventilation systems and creating negative pressure in the room—making this vacuum of air helps minimize the movement of debris toward unaffected areas and it allows us to direct air in a controlled way.
As asbestos-containing material is removed during the process, it needs to be carefully sealed and transported in specialty holding bags so that it can safely reach the facility in which it is being disposed of. Once the initial removal is complete, a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuum will help dispose of smaller debris left over from the tasks being performed.
Once asbestos abatement has been completed, a 3rd party air clearance test must be performed by an individual certified by the state. This will confirm that the environment is safe to be reoccupied.
We know dealing with asbestos is not a pleasant process. Our team is here to perform services quickly and safely so that you can continue living in your home or working in the office with peace of mind.
