Chimney Asbestos & Lead Abatement in Alamo Heights, TX

Older cement-asbestos (transite) flue pipe looks just like ordinary gray pipe, so we identify it by the home's age and by testing rather than by sight. If your house is old enough to have it, our crew treats any suspect material as asbestos until a test says otherwise and never disturbs it with standard tools. That caution is exactly the point.

Cutting or breaking it sends fibers straight into the air you breathe at home. Doing it safely takes poly containment, negative-air HEPA scrubbers, wetting, licensed handling, air-clearance testing, and manifested disposal. A standard crew carries none of that gear, and that gap is how a simple repair turns into a contamination.

You get a documentation package covering the containment setup, the post-abatement air-clearance sample results, and the licensed disposal manifest. With abatement the paperwork is the deliverable. Saying the material is gone without clearance testing proves nothing, so we hand you the proof.

Painted mantels, surrounds, and brick from before 1978 often carry lead. We work to the EPA RRP rule with containment and HEPA tools, then finish with clearance wipe sampling to confirm the levels are safe. That final check matters most when there are young children living in the home.

Both. Our crew bags the material, manifests it, and disposes of it through a licensed waste stream, and you get the full record when we're done. That paperwork is precisely what your insurer, the AHJ, and any future buyer's inspector will ask to see.

That's the whole design of it. Older homes interconnect in ways separate contractors miss — the chase that carries your original flue often carries duct runs and wiring too, and an uninsulated attic changes how the entire house breathes. We inspect chimney, ducts, dryer vent, and insulation in one pass and write it up as one prioritized report, so you're not reconciling four different opinions.

Maybe — many pre-war flues here are unlined or have cracked clay tiles, and you can't tell from the hearth. A camera inspection settles it in about twenty minutes. If it's sound, we document that and sweep it. If it needs a liner, we price it plainly and tell you what's safe in the meantime, which is sometimes nothing until it's fixed.

Inspection first, always — it sets the sequence. Typically: chimney safety items before burn season, attic air-sealing and insulation in spring or summer when it pairs naturally with duct sealing, and the dryer vent the same day as everything else since it takes the least time. Masonry repairs cure best in warm, dry months, so we slot those accordingly.
