How it works

A Documented Process, First Look to Verified Result.

  1. 01 Licensed Inspection & Sampling A RIDOH-certified inspector surveys the property and collects samples from suspect materials. Lab results in 24–48 hours with a written inspection report.
  2. 02 DEM Notification & Abatement Plan We file required Rhode Island DEM pre-notification and develop a site-specific abatement plan before any removal begins.
  3. 03 Negative-Pressure Containment Work areas sealed with polyethylene sheeting. HEPA air scrubbers maintain negative pressure throughout the abatement — no fiber migration outside the containment zone.
  4. 04 Wet-Method Removal ACM wetted to suppress fiber release. Abatement workers in full PPE, OSHA 1926.1101 compliant throughout.
  5. 05 Sealed Disposal & Licensed Transport All ACM double-bagged in labeled impermeable containers, transported by licensed haulers. Chain-of-custody documentation provided.
  6. 06 Independent Clearance Air Testing Third-party industrial hygienist conducts post-abatement air sampling. Written clearance certificate provided before re-occupancy.

Peniel specializes in removing contaminated asbestos insulation in a safe, efficient, and cost effective manner.

Asbestos insulation is very common in older commercial properties or homes. Several decades ago asbestos insulation was the gold standard in insulation for its many good attributes. It was low cost and a great insulator. Unfortunately, asbestos has other, not so good attributes such as causing skin irritation and cancer. To compound these risks, the insulation in most roof spaces or attics is not covered. This asbestos containing insulation deteriorates over time and asbestos particles start making their way through the ventilation system of the building. This is not good! These health risks are why many people are having their asbestos insulation removed by a professional company such as Peniel.

When you choose a company for your asbestos insulation removal you have to be absolutely sure of the safety protocols that company will follow to conduct the removal. The whole reason you are having the asbestos removed is for the safety of the people in the building. If the company you hire is not competent and creates more dust during removal than could ever accumulate over time, the removal is counter-productive.

At Peniel we are industry leaders in the safe removal of asbestos containing products. We have decades of experience in this field and have conducted business in such a manner that we have lots of satisfied (and healthy) customers. We ensure that our technicians practice the latest methods of asbestos dust mitigation and containment. Our cleanup is second to none and leaves your building in a safe and clean state.

Another important aspect to consider when choosing an asbestos removal company is legal compliance. Most jurisdictions have strict laws governing the removal, transport, and disposal of asbestos containing materials. The discovery of the health risks of asbestos in the past few decades have made these laws quite draconian, and for good reason. If you hire a company that does not follow all proper legal and procedural guidelines it can not only jeopardize your health, but it will make the removal process a nightmare once they are caught. That is a headache that no one wants to deal with.

When you hire the professionals at Peniel, you can be absolutely confident that your asbestos removal will be done in accordance with all applicable laws and guidelines. We have been in the business for quite some time and can knock out the permitting and licensing processes very rapidly to help get your project rolling. We make sure to keep you abreast of any and all new legal, regulatory, or technical guidelines to ensure that we are in compliance. We will handle all the paperwork for you so that the disruption to your busy schedule is minimal.

If you have ever hired a poor asbestos removal company you know that the most irritating thing is feeling like your home or business is being invaded by heavy breathing, white-suited creatures who are rude, messy, and care nothing for your building. We make sure that we are the opposite. We only hire technicians who understand that asbestos removal is never fun for you the building owner, and that their job is to make the experience as pleasant as possible. Our technicians strive to complete the job quickly and efficiently. They will show concern for your home and business and will focus on keeping it as clean as possible. They will also do as much as they can to mitigate the impact that the removal project will have on your daily operations. Our team will maintain contact with you in a professional manner to ensure that all your concerns are addressed and that their activities are structured to impact your life as little as possible.

Trust Peniel for you asbestos insulation removal project. We are the premier choice for safe and speedy asbestos removal while minimizing the affect on your daily operations. One of our estimators will swiftly give you a quote.

Why Peniel

Trust Built on Standards, Not Slogans.

  • Licensed Abatement Contractors in Our Network
    The asbestos abatement contractors we dispatch are state-licensed where required, follow all federal and state disposal regulations, and carry current liability and pollution insurance.
  • Negative-Pressure Containment
    Contractors in our network seal work areas and run HEPA air scrubbers with negative pressure throughout abatement — zero fiber migration outside the work zone, verified by post-abatement sampling.
  • Independent Post-Abatement Clearance
    A third-party industrial hygienist conducts post-abatement air sampling. You get written clearance before re-occupancy — not the abatement contractor verifying their own work.
  • Prompt Scheduling — We Coordinate the Timeline
    We connect you with a licensed inspector quickly and coordinate lab turnaround so your renovation, closing, or demolition timeline stays on track.
  • Full Documentation Package
    Inspection reports, lab results, abatement permits, and clearance certificates — everything a real estate closing, insurance claim, or building permit requires, all from one dispatch.

Common questions

Before You Call, the Honest Answers.

Are Rhode Island's 1960s ranch homes at asbestos risk?

Yes. Ranch homes built in Rhode Island between 1955 and 1975 commonly contain textured ceiling compounds, 9×9 vinyl floor tiles, and HVAC duct insulation with asbestos. These are the most common asbestos-containing materials in Rhode Island's post-war housing stock and are regularly encountered during kitchen, bathroom, and flooring renovation projects.

How does asbestos affect Rhode Island's active real estate market?

Rhode Island's high transaction volume — buyers seeking Providence proximity at lower prices — means asbestos findings come up regularly in pre-1980 property inspections. Post-war ranch homes and Cape Cods have the highest hit rates for floor tiles and duct insulation. Pre-listing surveys and abatement clearance documentation are increasingly standard for Rhode Island sellers.
