Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have asbestos in my home or building?
You cannot identify asbestos by sight alone. If your property was built before 1980, it is highly likely that materials such as insulation, floor tiles, popcorn ceilings, or pipe fittings contain asbestos. The only way to be sure is through laboratory testing. True Star Contracting can perform a thorough inspection and take samples for analysis, or we can work alongside your chosen independent testing firm.
Is it dangerous to live in my house while you are working?
In most cases, yes, you can remain in your home, but it depends on the scope of the project. For small-scale jobs, we can isolate the work area to ensure your living space remains uncontaminated. For large-scale abatements or whole-house demolitions, we may recommend temporary relocation. We always prioritize your safety and will provide a clear plan before we begin.
Why can’t I just remove the asbestos myself to save money?
In New Jersey and New York, it is illegal for anyone without a specific asbestos handling license to remove asbestos-containing materials. Beyond the legal ramifications, DIY removal is extremely hazardous. Disturbing these materials releases microscopic fibers into the air that can cause permanent lung damage. Our team is trained to contain and dispose of these materials safely, protecting you, your family, and your neighbors.
What is the difference between demolition and asbestos abatement?
Asbestos abatement is the specialized process of safely identifying and removing hazardous materials from a structure before any breaking down of walls or structures occurs.
Demolition is the actual tearing down of the structure.
Think of it as a two-step process: We must make the site safe (abatement) before we can knock it down (demolition). True Star handles both phases seamlessly.
How long will the process take?
Timelines vary based on the size of the property and the extent of the contamination. A small basement pipe removal might take a day, while a full-scale commercial demolition could take weeks. After our initial site assessment, we will provide you with a detailed timeline so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you handle the permits, or do I need to get them?
We handle that for you. True Star Contracting manages all necessary municipal permits, EPA compliance forms, and safety protocols. In both NY and NJ, the regulations are strict, and we ensure every job is fully documented and approved so you aren't left dealing with paperwork or fines.
