Asbestos Removal & Insulation Contractor since 1988

Central Insulation Systems
Serving Blue Ash

You pulled up the old kitchen tiles and found black mastic underneath. Or you're renovating that 1970s ranch on Cooper Road and the contractor just said the word "asbestos." In Blue Ash, most homes built before 1980 have it somewhere - pipe insulation, floor tiles, siding. When people search for the best asbestos removal near me, Central Insulation Systems Inc. is who picks up those calls.

Do not touch it. Do not try to remove it yourself. Asbestos becomes dangerous when it's disturbed and becomes airborne. The work requires EPA-licensed crews with proper containment and disposal permits. Shops that handle Hamilton County asbestos work know the regulations change between residential and commercial jobs. Central Insulation Systems Inc. runs fully licensed crews that follow OSHA protocols on every Blue Ash project, whether it's pipe insulation or an entire floor.

The University of Cincinnati called them back for multiple projects over three decades - stadium renovation, DAAP building work, plus ongoing maintenance contracts when they need asbestos work done quickly. That's the standard for this kind of work in Hamilton County. If you found asbestos in your Blue Ash home, Central Insulation Systems Inc. can assess what you're dealing with and handle the removal safely.

★★★★★
Always great to work with.
FRANK VONDERMEULEN· Google
★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!
Cathryn H.· Angi
★★★★★
As a Contractor, who works with homeowners, helping them with their Roofing and Siding Projects, Kevin and his Team, have been relied upon, again and again, by me and/or my Company. They do fantastic work, have a tremendous amount of expertise, and I cannot recommend them enough!

Common Question in Blue Ash

How much does asbestos removal actually cost

That expensive quote might be fair, depending on what you're dealing with in your Blue Ash home. Pipe insulation around old boilers runs $15-25 per linear foot, while those 9x9 floor tiles from the 1960s cost $5-15 per square foot to remove safely. Get three licensed quotes and compare the line items, not just the bottom line — access difficulty in tight basements or around ductwork can double the price.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Blue Ash were built when fiberglass insulation and asbestos materials were standard. If your house went up between the 1950s and 1980s, you're likely dealing with asbestos floor tiles, pipe insulation around the boiler, or siding that can't just be torn off. The problem gets worse when you're renovating. Hamilton County requires proper abatement before demo work can start. You can't just rip out that basement ceiling or pull up those nine-inch tiles yourself.

We've been handling these jobs across Hamilton County since the late 1980s. Most of our work comes through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on bigger projects, but we also get calls directly from homeowners near Summit Park or around the Town Square area. Our crews know the difference between the 1960s ranch houses off Ronald Reagan Highway and the older builds closer to I-71. Your project needs a crew that's done this work in Blue Ash before.
