What's Included
Professional Asbestos and Lead Hazard Removal
As a local provider of damage restoration services in Cincinnati, our team helps identify, contain, remove, and properly dispose of hazardous materials using safe procedures and specialized equipment. Whether you are dealing with asbestos insulation, asbestos siding, lead-based paint, or suspected contamination after property damage, we can help you move forward safely.
Many older Cincinnati homes, rental properties, commercial buildings, and industrial spaces may contain asbestos-containing materials or lead-based paint. These materials are not always easy to identify by sight, and they can become hazardous when they are cut, scraped, sanded, broken, or removed incorrectly.
Asbestos fibers can become airborne during repair or demolition work. Lead dust and paint chips can spread across surfaces, flooring, soil, and contents. Because of these risks, removal should be handled with proper containment, filtration, protective equipment, and disposal procedures.
1st Call Disaster Services provides asbestos abatement and lead removal services designed to reduce exposure risks, protect occupants, and support safe restoration.
Contact our team before disturbing suspected asbestos or lead materials.
Asbestos Testing and Lead Paint Testing
Before removal begins, the hazard needs to be identified. 1st Call Disaster Services offers inspection and testing support to determine whether asbestos or lead is present and where affected materials are located.
Asbestos testing may be recommended for insulation, floor tile, ceiling texture, pipe wrap, siding, roofing materials, adhesives, and other older building products. Testing helps define the scope of work and prevents unnecessary disturbance of hazardous materials.
Lead paint testing is often needed in older homes, apartments, schools, offices, and commercial buildings where painted surfaces are peeling, cracking, or scheduled for renovation. Once testing is complete, our team can review the findings, explain the removal plan, and recommend the safest next step.
Call 1st Call Disaster Services at (859) 765-7744 to schedule testing before beginning construction, cleanup, or demolition work.
How It Works
Our Asbestos and Lead Removal Process
A safe project depends on careful planning and controlled removal. 1st Call Disaster Services follows a structured process for asbestos and lead paint removal in Cincinnati.
Inspection and Planning
We begin by inspecting the property, identifying suspected materials, and determining whether testing is needed. After the hazard is confirmed, we assess the affected areas, material condition, access concerns, and any related restoration needs. From there, we develop a removal plan and provide an estimate.
Containment and Protection
Containment helps limit the spread of fibers, dust, and debris. Depending on the project, our team may use controlled work zones, protective barriers, HEPA filtration, negative air pressure equipment, respirators, and protective clothing.
Removal, Disposal, and Review
Hazardous materials are removed using specialized techniques based on the situation. Asbestos waste and lead-contaminated debris are handled and disposed of properly. After removal, the work area is reviewed, and when needed, additional cleaning, restoration, or reconstruction support can be coordinated.

Residential Asbestos Removal in Cincinnati
Older Cincinnati homes may contain asbestos in insulation, siding, flooring, ceiling texture, pipe wrap, duct materials, or adhesives. Homeowners often discover these materials during remodeling, plumbing repairs, storm damage repairs, or water and fire damage restoration in Cincinnati and beyond.
Residential asbestos removal requires more than tearing out old material. The area must be evaluated, contained, removed, and cleaned carefully to help prevent fibers from spreading into living spaces.
We can help with asbestos concerns involving:
- Attic or wall insulation
- Asbestos siding
- Flooring and adhesives
- Textured ceilings or walls
- Pipe and duct insulation
- Renovation or demolition preparation
Before starting repairs in an older home, contact 1st Call Disaster Services to discuss asbestos inspection and abatement options.
Commercial Asbestos Removal in Cincinnati
Commercial asbestos projects often involve larger spaces, tighter schedules, and the need to limit disruption to employees, tenants, customers, or operations. 1st Call Disaster Services provides commercial asbestos abatement for office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, rental properties, schools, and other commercial structures.
Our team helps property managers, business owners, contractors, and facility teams address asbestos hazards before renovation, after property damage, or during planned upgrades. When asbestos is discovered in a commercial property, quick professional action can help reduce delays and protect everyone in the building.
Contact 1st Call Disaster Services to discuss your building, project timeline, and removal needs.
EPA-Certified Services
Lead Paint Removal in Cincinnati
Lead-based paint is a common concern in older homes and buildings. When paint is intact, it may not always present the same immediate risk, but peeling, chipping, cracking, sanding, or demolition can release lead dust and debris. This is especially concerning in homes with children, rental properties, schools, childcare spaces, and buildings undergoing renovation.
1st Call Disaster Services provides services for lead paint removal in Cincinnati and the area for residential and commercial properties. Our team can address lead contamination on walls, trim, doors, windows, exterior surfaces, and other painted materials. Depending on the condition and location of the lead-based paint, the project may involve removal, containment, cleaning, and restoration.
Do not dry-sand or scrape suspected lead-based paint. Call our team at (859) 765-7744 for professional lead paint testing and removal guidance.
Insurance and Environmental Safety
Asbestos or lead concerns are often discovered during another property issue. A pipe leak may expose old flooring adhesive. Fire damage repairs may uncover asbestos-containing insulation. Storm damage, animal damage, or mold remediation in areas like Blue Ash may reveal older materials that need special handling before restoration can continue.
If your project involves an insurance claim, our team can help document the work, explain the scope, and coordinate with the appropriate parties. We also manage removal and disposal responsibly. Asbestos-containing materials and lead-contaminated debris should not be treated like ordinary construction waste.
Our process may include HEPA filtration, negative air pressure machines, protective clothing, respirators, controlled containment, and regulated disposal procedures.
Certified asbestos and lead removal services require a careful, professional response.
Contact 1st Call Disaster Services to request an estimate for EPA-certified lead paint or asbestos removal services.
DIY Asbestos or Lead Removal
What Property Owners Should Know
DIY removal may seem like a way to save money, but asbestos and lead are not ordinary cleanup projects. Disturbing these materials without proper controls can spread contamination and increase exposure risks.
Property owners should avoid:
- Sanding, scraping, or grinding suspected lead paint
- Cutting or breaking materials that may contain asbestos
- Using a household vacuum on asbestos or lead dust
- Removing contaminated debris without proper containment
- Starting demolition before testing older materials
If the material is damaged, deteriorating, or in the path of construction work, contact a professional before moving forward.
