You're renovating a house in Firestone Park and pulled up some old floor tiles. The adhesive underneath looks suspicious. Maybe it's the pipe insulation in the basement, or those shingles from 1975. Most homes in Akron built before 1980 have asbestos somewhere, and you can't see it until you start tearing into walls or floors. When people search for the best asbestos removal near me, Central Insulation Systems Inc. is who picks up those calls.
Do not try to remove asbestos yourself, even if it looks like regular tile. Ohio EPA requires licensed crews with containment systems and air monitoring. The dust spreads through your HVAC system and stays airborne for hours. Crews that handle Akron's older housing stock know the difference between vinyl asbestos tile from 1965 and regular linoleum. Central Insulation Systems Inc. runs the containment setup on every Goodyear Heights basement job, even when the homeowner thinks it's just a small patch.
They've been doing this work at Ohio State University for decades, including that two-year stadium project where they removed underground pipe insulation from under the field. That's the level of containment and cleanup you need in a 1940s house on Highland Square. If you found something that might be asbestos, Central Insulation Systems Inc. can test it and handle the removal if needed.

What Our Customers Say
How can I tell if my pipes have asbestos insulation?
If you found white, chalky insulation around old pipes in your Akron basement, stop going down there immediately. Homes built during the city's industrial boom years often have asbestos pipe wrap that becomes dangerous when it starts cracking and dropping pieces. Get a sample tested by a licensed professional, then either have it encapsulated with special coating or removed by a certified abatement contractor.
