EPA-Lead Safe Certified Firm
Professional Asbestos and Lead Paint Removal Services in Florence
Asbestos and lead removal should never be handled like ordinary cleanup. These materials can release harmful fibers or dust into the air, creating health risks for occupants, workers, and anyone entering the property.
Asbestos and lead are often found in older buildings throughout Florence and Northern Kentucky. These materials can become dangerous when disturbed, damaged, scraped, sanded, or removed incorrectly. If you suspect asbestos or lead-based paint in your property, our emergency restoration services in Florence team is here to support you.
1st Call Disaster Services provides asbestos abatement and lead removal services for homes, businesses, rental properties, and buildings undergoing restoration or reconstruction. Common areas and materials we evaluate include:
- Asbestos insulation
- Asbestos siding
- Flooring and tile adhesives
- Ceiling materials
- Pipe wrap and mechanical insulation
- Lead-based paint on walls, trim, doors, and windows
- Contaminated dust, debris, or damaged building materials
From inspection to removal and disposal, our team follows a careful process designed to protect the property and reduce exposure risks. Call 1st Call Disaster Services at (859) 765-7744 if you need help with asbestos or lead concerns in Florence, KY.
Testing First
Asbestos Testing and Inspection Before Removal
Before removal begins, it is important to confirm whether asbestos is present. Asbestos testing helps identify the type, location, and extent of asbestos-containing materials so the right abatement plan can be created.
Testing is especially important before remodeling, demolition, flooring replacement, siding work, or fire, water, or storm damage restoration in Lawrenceburg or any of our other service areas. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials without proper controls can spread fibers throughout the property.
After testing and inspection, 1st Call Disaster Services can explain the findings, recommend the next steps, and provide an estimate based on the scope of work. If asbestos is confirmed, our team uses proper containment, equipment, removal methods, and disposal procedures.
If you are planning work in an older Florence property, schedule asbestos testing before construction begins.
Lead Hazards
Lead Paint Testing and Safe Removal
Lead-based paint is another common concern in older homes, apartments, commercial buildings, and rental properties. Paint that is peeling, chipping, cracking, or disturbed during renovation can create lead dust that may be harmful, especially for children and pregnant women.
Professional lead paint testing can confirm whether lead is present before work begins. If lead is found, 1st Call Disaster Services can develop a removal or remediation plan based on the condition of the paint, the affected surfaces, and the needs of the property.
Lead hazards may be found on interior walls, window frames, doors, trim, siding, stairways, railings, porches, and other painted surfaces. Our team uses controlled methods to limit the spread of dust and contaminated debris.

How It Works
Our Asbestos and Lead Removal Process
Every project is different, but a clear process helps keep the work organized and safety-focused. 1st Call Disaster Services follows a structured approach for asbestos and lead removal projects.
Inspection and Testing
We begin by reviewing the affected areas and identifying materials that may contain asbestos or lead. Testing helps confirm the hazard and guides the removal plan.
Assessment and Planning
Our team evaluates the material type, condition, location, and project scope. We then develop a removal plan and review the expected process with the property owner.
Containment and Preparation
Containment is a critical step. Depending on the project, we may use barriers, HEPA filtration, negative air pressure machines, protective equipment, and other controls to help limit the spread of fibers or dust.
Removal and Cleanup
Our technicians remove hazardous materials using specialized methods and equipment. The work area is cleaned carefully to address contaminated dust, debris, and affected materials.
Disposal and Final Review
Asbestos and lead-contaminated materials must be handled and disposed of properly. After removal, we review the work area and confirm that the project has been completed according to the plan.
Hazardous materials discovered during restoration?
We can also help with content cleaning and management, fire damage restoration, soot and smoke damage restoration, mold remediation, and water damage restoration in Florence and its nearby areas.
Homes & Businesses
Residential and Commercial Hazardous Material Removal
1st Call Disaster Services works with homeowners, business owners, property managers, and contractors throughout Florence. Whether the project involves a small residential area or a larger commercial building, we tailor the approach to the hazard, property type, and timeline.
For homeowners, asbestos and lead may become a concern during remodeling, storm damage repair, plumbing updates, flooring replacement, or restoration after fire or water damage. In many cases, these materials are discovered only after walls, ceilings, siding, or flooring are opened.
For commercial properties, planning and communication are especially important. Businesses may need hazardous materials removed while limiting disruption to employees, tenants, customers, or daily operations. Our team can help manage the process with clear communication from start to finish.

Before You Begin
DIY: What Property Owners Should Know
Lead paint and asbestos removal in Florence and beyond should not be treated as a do-it-yourself project. If you suspect either material is present, avoid disturbing the area until it has been inspected.
Important: DIY removal is not recommended because improper handling can spread contamination. Household vacuums, basic masks, and standard cleaning supplies are not designed for asbestos fibers or lead dust.
Safer preliminary steps:
- Keep people and pets away from the affected area.
- Do not sand, scrape, drill, sweep, or vacuum suspected materials.
- Avoid using fans that could spread fibers or dust.
- Take note of damaged materials or peeling paint.
- Contact a professional for testing before beginning work.
For safety, call 1st Call Disaster Services at (859) 765-7744 before attempting cleanup involving suspected asbestos or lead.
Claim Assistance
Insurance and Environmental Considerations
Asbestos and lead removal often overlaps with larger property restoration needs. Hazardous materials may be discovered after a storm, fire, water loss, mold issue, or structural damage. In some cases, removal must happen before reconstruction can continue.
Insurance coverage can vary based on the cause of damage, policy terms, and required remediation. Our team can document affected areas and provide information that may help with the claims process. We also understand the environmental responsibility involved in asbestos disposal and lead-contaminated debris handling. These materials should not be placed with ordinary construction waste.
If your asbestos or lead issue is connected to property damage, contact 1st Call Disaster Services for guidance.
