Why Asbestos Comes Up So Often
Many Metro Detroit homes and buildings built before the 1980s contain asbestos in pipe insulation, floor tiles and their mastic, plaster, popcorn ceilings, duct wrap and siding. When those materials are intact they are usually not a hazard, but fire and water damage often mean they have to be disturbed or removed.
Asbestos removal must be handled by licensed and certified abatement companies, and disturbing it yourself can release fibers into the air. On our fire and water jobs we see it all the time, so we have certified asbestos abatement subcontractors we call in as needed.
Select Restoration coordinates testing and abatement with them, then handles the rest of the restoration and the rebuild, so you still have one point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you remove asbestos yourselves?
No. Asbestos must be handled by licensed and certified abatement companies. We bring in certified subcontractors and coordinate the work.
Can I remove asbestos myself?
We do not recommend it. Disturbing asbestos can release fibers into the air of your home.
Is asbestos abatement covered by insurance?
When abatement is needed to repair a covered loss, it is often part of the claim. Check your policy.
Will this delay my restoration?
It can add a few days. We schedule testing and abatement quickly so the job keeps moving.
