Central Insulation Systems
Serving Mariemont

You're renovating a house in Mariemont and just pulled up floor tiles from 1975. Or maybe you're dealing with old pipe insulation in the basement. You can't see asbestos, but you know it's there because most homes built before 1980 in Hamilton County have it somewhere. When people search for the best asbestos removal near me, Central Insulation Systems Inc. is who picks up those calls.

If you find asbestos materials, do not touch them or try to remove them yourself. Disturbing asbestos releases fibers into the air that you can breathe in for years. The work requires EPA-licensed crews with containment barriers and negative air pressure systems. Contractors that handle Hamilton County jobs year-round know the regulations. Central Insulation Systems Inc. runs fully licensed abatement crews and follows all OSHA and EPA protocols on every job.

The University of Cincinnati hired them for multiple campus projects over three decades, including the DAAP renovation and stadium work. That's the standard for asbestos work in Hamilton County. If you've found materials that might contain asbestos, Central Insulation Systems Inc. can assess what you're dealing with.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
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!

Common Question in Mariemont

My house is freezing and energy bills are sky high

Your heating bills doubled because warm air is escaping through your attic, and cold air is sneaking in through gaps you can't see. In Mariemont's older homes, especially around the Historic District, inadequate attic insulation is the biggest culprit behind sky-high energy costs and freezing rooms. Check your attic first — if you can see the floor joists through your insulation, you need R-38 to R-60 blown insulation that typically pays for itself within three years.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Mariemont's Historic District date back to the 1920s and 1930s, when asbestos was standard in everything from pipe insulation to floor tiles. If you live near Bell Tower Park or anywhere in the planned community, your house probably has asbestos somewhere. The beautiful Tudor and Colonial Revival homes that make Mariemont special also make asbestos removal tricky. You need a crew that knows how to work around original plaster walls and hardwood floors without damaging what makes your home worth preserving.

We've been doing asbestos work across Hamilton County since the 1980s, including projects with the University of Cincinnati just down US-50. Our trucks run I-275 to jobs in Mariemont regularly, and we've worked with Turner Construction on multiple Cincinnati projects over the years. If you're dealing with asbestos in your 1920s home, you need someone who's done this exact work on houses just like yours.
