Local asbestos inspectors?

[narya.livejournal.com]

Does anybody have any asbestos inspectors that they'd recommend? I've found a number of listings via google but very little in the way of reviews or recommendations.


The reason I'm looking for one is that there are a couple of projects I would normally do myself, but I would like to be sure that I wouldn't be disturbing anything that shouldn't be disturbed before starting on them. There are also a couple of places where I'm pretty sure asbestos is present and I would like to get a more formal opinion about whether it would be best to let it lie or remove it.

I did find the MA site on the subject, but it wasn't extremely helpful.

If you have any recommendations, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have been through the inspection process and/or the removal process and don't mind saying how much either of them wound up costing, that would be really helpful.

I used to do a ton of property assessment for environmental due dilligence, and I always used these guys. They are one of the best in the area. They also due lead paint and mold, and are nothign but helpful and friendly.

S&S Abatement was really great to us. We had somewhere on the order of 50 linear feet of asbestos on a pipe wet bagged and removed for $900. Honest guys, and it's a family business. They;ll come out and do a free estimate.

Thanks very much! It's nice to hear that it's not catastrophically expensive.
