Asbestos Abatement Referrals
Asbestos may be present in insulation, flooring, ceiling materials, siding, and other building products. Its presence cannot be confirmed by appearance alone.
Call (703) 219-8117 or submit the online form to request a referral to an independent asbestos professional serving Reston.
Reston Property Restoration is a referral and marketing service. We do not directly inspect, sample, test, contain, remove, transport, or dispose of asbestos. Any assessment, estimate, contract, payment, warranty, or work is handled directly between you and the provider.
When to Request an Asbestos Assessment
Consider consulting a qualified professional when:
- Renovating or demolishing an older property
- Damaged building materials may contain asbestos
- Suspected material could be disturbed
- Previous records identify asbestos-containing material
- A permit, sale, or project requires an assessment
Do not cut, drill, sand, scrape, break, sweep, vacuum, or remove suspected asbestos-containing material.
Services a Provider May Offer
Available services depend on the provider’s qualifications and applicable regulations.
Inspection and Sampling
A qualified inspector may assess suspect materials and collect samples for laboratory analysis.
Laboratory Testing
An accredited laboratory may analyse samples to determine whether asbestos is present.
Testing and abatement may need to be performed by separate parties, depending on local requirements and the project.
Abatement Planning
The provider may prepare a plan covering the affected materials, work area, containment, removal or encapsulation method, disposal, and clearance requirements.
Containment
Barriers, controlled access, protective equipment, and pressure controls may be used to limit fibre release.
Removal or Encapsulation
The provider may remove asbestos-containing materials or recommend managing them in place through encapsulation or another approved method.
Transport and Disposal
Regulated waste should be packaged, labelled, transported, and disposed of according to applicable requirements.
Clearance Procedures
A visual inspection, air testing, or other clearance procedure may be required before the area is reoccupied.
Reston Property Restoration does not select the provider’s methods, equipment, laboratory, or disposal facility.
Before Hiring an Asbestos Provider
Confirm the provider’s:
- Business identity
- Required licences and certifications
- Liability and workers’ compensation insurance
- Inspection and laboratory arrangements
- Written abatement plan
- Required permits and notifications
- Containment procedures
- Transport and disposal documentation
- Clearance requirements
- Price and payment terms
- Estimated schedule
- Warranties
Ask which regulations apply and whether the inspector, abatement contractor, laboratory, or clearance professional must be independent.

Health and Safety
Disturbing asbestos-containing material can release fibres into the air. Exposure is associated with serious diseases that may develop years later.
Leave suspected material undisturbed and restrict access to the area when appropriate. For exposure or health concerns, consult a qualified healthcare professional or relevant public health authority.
