What We Do

Comprehensive environmental services with certified expertise

Asbestos Abatement

We are an industry leader in asbestos abatement. With decades of hands-on experience, we provide abatement procedures that give property owners options while remaining fully compliant with governing regulations.

Our asbestos abatement process includes:

  • Procedures that allow occupants to remain in the home during abatement when possible
  • EPA State-Certified Abatement Technicians on every project
  • Third-party hygienist clearances at the completion of each abatement

OSHA Class III Tie-Back

We have incorporated and trademarked a working procedure known as OSHA Tie-Back. This approach is supported by Negative Exposure Assessments and case study air clearance data and is integrated across multiple abatement styles.

The OSHA Tie-Back procedure allows for:

  • Mending new sheetrock walls and ceilings into live edges of asbestos-containing materials
  • Minimizing the overall scope to reduce time and cost across the claim
  • Limiting cuts and repairs so homeowners can preserve the original or historic design of their home

Asbestos, Lead, and Mold Testing

Asbestos, lead, and mold testing can be invasive if not done correctly. All our technicians are EPA and State Certified in asbestos and lead hazard sampling, with the primary goal of keeping families safe—not producing cosmetic results.

Our testing process ensures:

  • Precise sampling locations so hazards are not overlooked or missed
  • All sampling debris is HEPA vacuumed, wet-wiped, and sealed
  • Rushed 24–48 hour laboratory analysis performed by independent third-party labs to avoid conflicts of interest

Mold Remediation

We assign job-specific technicians trained to take a systematic approach to mold and fungal hazards within impacted dwellings.

Our mold remediation services include:

  • Identifying and resolving the source of moisture or origin of loss
  • Use of plant-based mold cleaners and encapsulants to support a healthier home
  • Third-party hygienist protocols and clearances before and after remediation to confirm accurate scopes and safe breathing environments

RRP and Lead Hazards Removal

Lead hazards can exist beyond commonly known lead-based paint and may be present in various building materials. We have dedicated extensive time and resources to understanding how to properly test and remove lead hazards in all forms.

Our lead hazard services include:

  • Lead stabilization and bulk removal options
  • RRP-Certified contracting across the organization
  • CVC white cloth testing performed at job completion

Technology Integrations

While abatement and remediation can appear intrusive, we integrate technology to improve documentation, communication, and clarity throughout each project.

Our technology-supported process includes:

  • Expert estimating through Xactimate
  • Job-site documentation using CompanyCam
  • Site walkthroughs captured with Matterport

This documentation helps all involved parties—including homeowners, adjusters, and follow-on contractors—clearly understand the work performed and what to expect next.


The Reality of Exposure

Asbestos, lead, and other environmental hazards present significant risks when not properly managed. Professional abatement is essential to protect occupants and maintain safe environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our environmental services and process

Bruce Environmental has been contracted to conduct professional asbestos sampling as part of your property's renovation or insurance claim process. Our services are typically requested by mitigation, restoration, or general contractors to ensure compliance with all safety regulations and protect all parties involved in the project.

Asbestos sampling is legally required for any commercial or residential property undergoing renovation, demolition, or disturbance of potential asbestos-containing materials. This critical assessment ensures a safe work environment and compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations. Bruce Environmental's certified professionals conduct thorough sampling to identify potential hazards before construction begins.

Any building materials that will be disturbed, damaged, or removed during renovation or demolition must be tested for asbestos. Common materials include but are not limited to: drywall joint compound, pipe insulation, floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roofing materials, and textured coatings. Our certified assessors identify all suspect materials based on your renovation plans and the building's age and construction.

Sampling costs are determined primarily by the number of samples required, which varies based on several key factors:

  • Material homogeneity and diversity
  • Scope of planned renovations or demolition
  • Property size and affected areas
  • Accessibility of sampling locations

We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific project requirements.

Negative Results: If no asbestos is detected, your project can proceed without interruption or additional safety measures.

Positive Results: When asbestos is identified, professional abatement must be completed before any construction or renovation work can continue. Bruce Environmental will provide a comprehensive abatement plan and timeline to ensure safe removal and regulatory compliance.

Your dedicated Bruce Environmental project manager will contact you directly with results once laboratory analysis is complete. All samples are hand-delivered to an accredited third-party laboratory to ensure unbiased, accurate results. This independent testing maintains compliance with industry standards and prevents conflicts of interest.

Typical turnaround time is 2-3 business days, with expedited services available upon request.

Asbestos abatement is the professional process of safely containing, removing, and disposing of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Our certified technicians employ specialized containment systems, air monitoring, and removal techniques to eliminate health risks while protecting your property during the remediation process.

For insurance-related claims, abatement scheduling begins after your insurance adjuster reviews and approves our detailed estimate. This approval process ensures proper payment coordination and prevents unexpected out-of-pocket expenses. Once approved, we coordinate with all involved parties to minimize project delays and maintain your renovation timeline.

For private projects, we can typically begin within 5-7 business days of estimate approval.

Mitigation Contractors: These professionals respond immediately after property damage (water, fire, storm, etc.) to stabilize the property and prevent further damage. They often identify potential asbestos hazards and request our sampling services.

Restoration Contractors: Following abatement, restoration specialists rebuild and restore your property to its pre-loss condition. They work after our remediation is complete and all safety clearances are obtained.

Bruce Environmental collaborates closely with both contractor types to ensure a seamless restoration process.

Our knowledgeable team is ready to address any additional questions or concerns you may have. Please contact our office at (770) 439-8908 to speak with a certified professional. You can also reach us through our website's contact form or via email at info@envirobruce.com. We typically respond to inquiries within one business day.


What Our Clients Say

Real experiences from homeowners and contractors who trust us

I was very much satisfied with the efficiency and excellent work and communication from everyone at Bruce Environmental. They were all kind and courteous throughout the process. The workers were on time to remove asbestos from my home, then cleaned the floors after the removal. Bruce Environmental has excellent customer service!!!

Ruby Perry

Bruce Environmental did a great job with my home. Tim Wagner was my initial contact, and he explained everything to me, and came to do the initial testing very quickly. Once the need for removal was confirmed, RandyMan Henderson and his crew were professional, courteous, efficient, thorough, and had the job done in a day and a half, including testing.

Louis Chamberlin

We had water damage due to frozen pipes and Bruce came out and tested for asbestos the day after I contacted them. The sheet rock compound and insulation tested positive and Bruce abated all affected areas, removing almost all of the sheet rock. They were very easy to work with. Our estimator, David S. was fantastic and responsive during the entire project.

Cathy Bruce

From the FIRST phone call they made me feel SO at ease. I had the pleasure of meeting with Jonah today, and had an even greater experience. It has been said, "people might not remember WHAT you say, but they will remember how you made them FEEL"!! It was my pleasure just being handled with such tender care.

Monique Eddins

Ken Watkins came out on Tuesday afternoon to collect a sample for asbestos testing. He told me that I would have a reply by 5 p.m. on Wednesday about the results. He was true to his word. He was very professional. I was very pleased with his representation of Bruce Environmental.

Jonah was on time, professional and absolutely explained everything! Water damage coupled with the fact we have asbestos under our floor is a real drag. We are grateful for Bruce Environmental making it as painless as possible. Highly recommended!
