Asbestos Testing and Remediation Services
Preferred Choice Restoration provides asbestos testing and remediation for homes and businesses across the Phoenix metro area. In buildings constructed in 1980 or earlier, drywall, ceiling texture, flooring, and insulation can contain asbestos, and water damage repairs, fire restoration, and remodeling often require cutting into those materials. We test them before any work begins, and if they test positive, our crew safely removes them so the rebuild can move forward.

- Removal under containment
What Our Asbestos Testing and Remediation Means for You
Asbestos in older materials is only a concern once repairs cut into them, so our work covers every stage of the project: testing before demolition, safe removal during it, and rebuilding once it’s done.
- Your family, tenants, or staff are protected. Asbestos is dangerous when it’s disturbed, so we test suspect materials before any work begins and keep fibers from being released into your property.
- You know what you’re dealing with before work starts. Test results come back before any demolition, so there are no surprises that stop your project partway through.
- Your belongings are protected from the dust. We seal off the work area before any material comes out, keeping dust from the removal off your furniture and out of the rest of your property.
- Only what tests positive comes out. We remove the materials that contain asbestos and leave the rest in place, so you’re not paying to replace more than you need to.
- Your older property looks better than before. Once removal is complete, our construction team rebuilds the area and can update it while the work is underway, so an older kitchen, bath, or room comes out looking better than it did.

Our Asbestos Testing and Remediation Process
01
We assess the project and visit your property
Tell us about the damage or the remodel you have in mind, and we’ll schedule a free on-site visit to identify which materials the work will disturb.
02
We test before anything comes out
We take a small sample of each material the work will disturb and send it to a lab for testing. When the results come back, we explain which materials need to be removed before repairs begin.
03
We remove what tested positive
We seal off the work area, and our crew removes the materials that tested positive. Once they’re out, we clean the area thoroughly before the containment comes down.
04
We rebuild the space
Our construction team replaces the removed drywall, ceiling texture, or flooring with new materials, so your repair or remodel can move forward. If insurance is involved, we send the estimate directly to your adjuster.

Asbestos Testing and Remediation FAQs
Phoenix and Gilbert Asbestos Testing and Remediation FAQs
How can I tell if something in my property contains asbestos?
A lab test is the only way to know for sure. Material with asbestos in it looks the same as material without it, unless the product is labeled. We can test anything in your property you’re unsure about.
Can I take an asbestos sample myself?
We recommend leaving the sampling to us. Taking a sample means cutting a piece out of the material, and it has to be done carefully so fibers stay out of the air. We take the samples ourselves, so no one at your property has to cut into anything.
Does asbestos always have to be removed?
No. Material in good condition that your repair or remodel won’t disturb is usually best left where it is, and some damaged material can be sealed instead of removed. Removal is for material the work will cut into or tear out, or material too damaged to seal. We’ll recommend what makes sense for each material based on its condition and the work you have planned.
How is asbestos dust kept from spreading through the building during removal?
The work area is closed off with plastic sheeting before anything is disturbed, and the heating and cooling are shut off so moving air doesn’t carry dust into other rooms. The material is kept wet and taken out in large pieces rather than broken up, and the area is cleaned with wet wipes and HEPA vacuums. Our crew handles the containment and cleanup, so none of it falls on you.
Can I pull down a water-damaged ceiling in an older property?
It’s best to leave it in place until it’s been tested. The texture on older ceilings can contain asbestos, and pulling down a wet, sagging section can release fibers into the room. Keep everyone out from under it, and once we’ve tested it, we’ll plan the cleanup and repairs around the results.
Can old asbestos flooring be covered instead of removed?
In many cases, yes. When the old floor is in good shape, new flooring can go right over it. Old vinyl tile, sheet vinyl backing, and the adhesive under them can contain asbestos, so they shouldn’t be sanded or scraped up. If covering works for your floor, we can lay the new flooring on top.
