Where is asbestos commonly found in Reading's older row homes and buildings?

In Reading's dense pre-1980 housing stock and industrial buildings, asbestos is often found in attic and wall insulation, vinyl floor tiles and mastic adhesive, ceiling tiles, pipe wrap on boilers and plumbing, and some siding and roofing materials.

What are the health dangers of asbestos exposure?

Disturbed asbestos releases microscopic fibers into the air that can be inhaled and lead to serious health conditions including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Professional removal is essential to prevent exposure.

Are you licensed for asbestos removal in Pennsylvania?

Yes. Compleat Restorations is fully licensed and certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for asbestos abatement. Our technicians are trained to handle all removal safely and in compliance with all state and federal regulations.

How long does asbestos removal take in a Reading home?

Duration depends on the size of the area and amount of asbestos-containing material. A small residential project typically takes a few days while a larger commercial job may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment.

Does homeowners insurance cover asbestos removal in Reading?

Coverage depends on your policy. Insurance may cover asbestos removal if it is part of a covered claim such as a fire or burst pipe that disturbed the materials. Removal for a routine renovation is typically not covered. We can help you navigate your policy.

UPDATE:  Little did I know that less than a week after posting this review below about my mom's house, a pipe in MY house broke!  My second call after the insurance company was to the A Team!  Rony and Giovanni were there within hours and did the same fantastic job I expected.  I am sure the rest of our job will be handled with the same care. Compleat Restorations came through for us!  We like to call them our A TEAM!  The whole crew...Jeremy, Kristen, Craig, Ken, the painters, and floor installers were knowledgeable, professional, and went above and beyond to get our house back in order after a major pipe break and flood.  Hopefully we won't ever need their services again but we will definetly recommend them to any other unfortunate souls.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I opened the door to my spare room on a Saturday morning and found parts of the ceiling on the floor with water spraying down from the ceiling from a hole in my plastic water piping. I called Compleat Restoration and within an hour someone was on site starting their cleanup process. I had three people at my house on a Saturday afternoon working on cleaning up the mess. They had the entire room cleaned up in no time. Compleat Restoration was there when I needed them the most. I hope I never have an issue like this again but if I do, I know I can count on Compleat Restoration to come to my aid.

They were there within the hour and that saved our wood plank floor . The cleaning up , tearing down damaged walls and ceiling was prompt .They removed water damaged furniture , dried everything , and put everything back together like it was only new .we are so happy to have had the chance to work with everyone there. The whole process from beginning to completion was very satisfying. I would recommend them very highly.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attic air conditioning water pan leaked and water damaged a small area of our living room ceiling.  Following an extended time of drying out, Compleat Restorations were contacted and began a five-day restoration of the water-damaged area and repainted the entire living rook ceiling.  CR operatives ( Declan and Darryl) were careful and knowledgeable as they began and completed the work....we could not have asked for a more capable/skilled job!

Tonya’s dedication to top-tier customer service is rare to find, and she treated my home as if it were her own.
