What happens if you DON'T check it before you wreck it?

Think of it a little like not paying your taxes. You might save money in the moment—but if you get caught later, it's probably going to cost you much more.

The same can happen when asbestos is overlooked before a demolition project.

If you test the building materials before demolition, you know what you're dealing with. Maybe there's only a small amount of asbestos-containing material, and abatement can be planned and priced based on the actual scope of work.

But if demolition starts without checking—and asbestos-containing material is discovered after the fact—you may have a much bigger problem.

Once asbestos-containing materials have been improperly disturbed, the response can involve stopping work, evaluating the affected areas, cleaning up contaminated debris, and addressing materials that may now be impacted. What could have been a small, planned abatement project can quickly become a costly cleanup.

The cheapest time to deal with asbestos is before you start tearing things apart.

Don't gamble on what might be inside a building.

Check it before you wreck it.

What happens to asbestos after it's removed?

Many people assume that once asbestos leaves a job site, the work is done. In reality, safe disposal is one of the most important parts of the abatement process.

Friable asbestos can't simply be thrown away with regular construction debris. It must be carefully packaged, transported, and disposed of at a licensed landfill specially permitted by the EPA to accept asbestos-containing materials.

From containment and removal to transportation and final disposal, every step is governed by strict regulations designed to protect workers, the public, and the environment.

At HEPA Environmental Services, we follow these requirements from start to finish because safe asbestos abatement doesn't end when the material leaves your property—it ends when it's disposed of properly.

Check it before you wreck it.

Hiring an asbestos contractor isn't like shopping for the lowest-priced product on the shelf.

When you're dealing with hazardous materials, the contractor you choose can make all the difference—for your safety, your property, and your peace of mind.

Before hiring anyone, ask these questions:

✔️ Are they licensed by the Ohio Department of Health?
✔️ Can they provide proof of pollution liability insurance?
✔️ Do they carry workers' compensation for their employees?
✔️ Are they willing to put their commitments in writing?
✔️ Are you choosing based on qualifications—not just the lowest price?

The right contractor will be transparent, properly insured, and committed to doing the job safely and correctly.

At HEPA Environmental, we believe trust is earned through professionalism, compliance, and delivering on our promises every time.

A good contractor doesn't just make commitments—they keep them.

A bipartisan group of senators has reintroduced the Alan Reinstein Ban Asbestos Now Act, legislation that would prohibit the manufacture, processing, use, and distribution of all six recognized types of asbestos in the United States.

The legislation comes decades after efforts to establish a comprehensive federal ban began. While the EPA banned most uses of asbestos in 1989, that rule was overturned in court. More recently, the EPA prohibited ongoing uses of chrysotile asbestos in 2024—but other forms and uses have remained legal.

If passed, the new legislation would amend the Toxic Substances Control Act and establish requirements for industries still using asbestos to transition away from it. But there's a long way to go: the bill must make it through committee, pass both the House and Senate, and be signed into law.

So what does this mean right now?

Even with stronger regulations and proposed legislation, asbestos-containing materials remain in countless older homes, commercial buildings, schools, and industrial facilities.

That's why testing, proper identification, and professional abatement remain so important—especially before renovation or demolition.

At HEPA Environmental Services, we're here to safely manage the asbestos that's already part of our built environment.

Until it's gone, check it before you wreck it.

🎥 Lights, camera… job site!

One of our job sites became a bit of a film set today as the Fieldflo team joined us to capture a testimonial about our experience using their platform.

Before the cameras started rolling, it was business as usual: safety meeting, crew prep and getting ready for the day’s work. Then Rick stepped in front of the camera to talk about how FieldFlo has become part of how we manage our work in the field.

So, what is FieldFlo? It’s a field management platform that helps our team stay connected, organized and informed—from the job site to the office. By keeping important information and field activities in one place, FieldFlo helps us streamline communication, improve accountability and keep projects moving.

Ultimately, that means better communication, better organization and better service for our customers.

We were excited to give the FieldFlo team a behind-the-scenes look at how our crews operate—and we can’t wait to share the finished testimonial!

Thanks to the FieldFlo team for coming out and helping us tell our story. 🎬

Our team has been tending a company garden, and it's already paying off! 🌱🥒🍅 This week's harvest gave us plenty of fresh vegetables to enjoy together over lunch.

Growing our own food is a great reminder that healthy environments start with the choices we make every day—whether we're helping clients safely remove environmental hazards or simply cultivating something good together.

Here's to teamwork, fresh food, and enjoying the fruits (and vegetables!) of our labor.

Where a child lives can have a lasting impact on their health.

New research found that young children living in federally assisted housing had lower average blood lead levels than children still waiting for housing assistance, with the greatest benefits seen in project-based housing. The findings highlight how housing quality and lead hazard prevention can make a real difference in protecting children from lead exposure.

The good news? Lead exposure is one of the most preventable environmental health risks.

Identifying and safely addressing lead-based paint and lead-contaminated dust hazards is one of the most effective ways to create healthier indoor environments for children and families.

At HEPA Environmental Services, we provide professional lead abatement services to help property owners, municipalities, schools, and contractors safely remove lead hazards in accordance with EPA and OSHA regulations.

Protect your property. Protect your community. Protect the next generation.

Recent reports that asbestos was found in children's toys sold by major retailers are a reminder of an important fact: asbestos isn't always intentionally added to a product—it can sometimes be an unexpected contaminant in naturally occurring minerals.

Many raw materials used to manufacture everyday products are mined from the ground. If those materials aren't properly tested, naturally occurring asbestos can make its way into finished products without anyone realizing it.

The same principle applies to construction materials. Products like gypsum and other mined materials may appear perfectly safe, but without proper testing, there's no way to know whether asbestos is present.

While regulations have significantly reduced asbestos use in the United States, testing remains the best way to identify hidden hazards—especially during renovation, demolition, or when evaluating older building materials.

Boiler rooms are like a history lesson in asbestos.

In this video, Rick points out several common places asbestos was historically used—including pipe insulation and boiler insulation. These materials were designed to withstand extreme heat, making asbestos a popular choice in mechanical rooms for decades.

The white insulation wrapped around older boilers may look harmless, but appearances can be deceiving. In many older buildings, boiler insulation and pipe coverings can contain asbestos, which is why it's critical to evaluate these materials before any renovation, repair, or demolition work begins.

If your commercial, industrial, or institutional building was constructed decades ago, don't assume mechanical systems are asbestos-free.

The safest approach is always the same: have qualified professionals inspect and test suspect materials before disturbing them.

Check it before you wreck it.
