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.

On Asbestos Encapsulation

Our professional technicians have the experience and training necessary to make short work of your asbestos linoleum removal project, stay safe!

Asbestos linoleum removal is something many in NH, MA, ME and VT face every day. It is very common for old linoleum flooring and tiles to contain asbestos. Don’t panic, with the right asbestos removal contractor your asbestos linoleum removal project can be safe, expeditious, and affordable. As one of the few asbestos removal contractors certified for this type of work in the area, you can rest knowing your asbestos problem will be no more. Peniel utilizes the most advanced equipment and processes to ensure the health of everyone involved is front and center. The word asbestos in and of itself can be intimidating, knowing it is present in your home or commercial building takes things to a whole new level. Call us today and let us help reduce those fears, removal can be safe, and with Peniel you can count on that!

A quick look at the background of asbestos.

Asbestos is a material that has many properties to include being very heat resistant, a great insulator, and a relatively low price point. Unfortunately, it also has the bad characteristic of causing a variety of maladies from skin irritation to cancer. When in dust form, asbestos is a known carcinogen and is very hazardous. This is why you should consider removing it from your home or business.

Some people may advocate for sealing the asbestos floor layer and laying new flooring over it. This can create future costly problems. If you ever try to sell the property, you usually must disclose any and all known asbestos in the structure. When you disclose the presence of asbestos most buyers will back out even if it is in an inert form. You also run the risk of someday accidentally doing something that will turn the asbestos to dust and unknowingly create a huge health risk during a simple renovation or improvement job. For all of these reasons it is best to have it removed. If you remove the flooring improperly, however, you can create significant health risks. This is why it is best to trust a professional asbestos removal company like Peniel.

Although Peniel also offers encapsulation services for asbestos, it’s not always your best option, and in most cases it doesn’t save you any money. One key reason people request encapsulation of their asbestos issue is the common misperception that it’s a lot cheaper than actually removing it. If you go to an overpriced outfit, well that will be indeed true, but with Peniel and their decade plus of certified asbestos removal services, we don’t price gouge or take advantage of people in fear of asbestos. Sure, occasionally due to certain circumstances it may make sense to encapsulate, but those cases are far and few between. With the cost factor removed, removal is almost always the better way to handle your asbestos problem. Encapsulated asbestos still has some risk including accidental puncture during future repairs. The dust is still present and once the encapsulation barrier has been compromised, that dust and asbestos fibers are free to roam. Peniel offers free consultations to determine whether encapsulation or removal of your asbestos is the best approach.

Don’t rely on lazy vendors who want to cover it up, count on Peniel to rid you of your problem once and for all!

When you choose Peniel Environmental for your asbestos cleanup, you will have decades of expertise at your disposal. We have completed a multitude of asbestos linoleum removal projects and possess the experience to make your project a walk in the park. Once we begin the process we will immediately determine the extent of the contamination, and cordon off the area that we will be working in. We will seal off the room with thick plastic sheeting and ensure that all vents and other inlets to the room are covered so that dust does not settle in them. This isolation will prevent the exposure of anyone else to the asbestos contamination.

Our technicians will use our extensive array of equipment to begin the process of safely cleaning up the mess in the most efficient manner. Where appropriate we will use a light mist to keep the asbestos dust down while we move in the cleanup area as long as doing so will not damage the structure. Our team then begins to gently peel up the tile or flooring and package it into OSHA approved containers for storage and disposal. We always ensure that any material we collect is transported and disposed of in the most secure manner to avoid further contamination.

When you choose Peniel to remove your asbestos linoleum flooring you will also have peace of mind about legal compliance. There are many laws governing asbestos and its removal and disposal. These laws change frequently as we find out more about the health hazards of asbestos. At Peniel, we make sure to keep abreast of all these laws so that we can keep all of our projects in compliance and keep all involved parties safe.

We make sure to only employ competent, service minded, and friendly people. Our employees know that any time you need to have asbestos materials removed from your business or home it is an inconvenience. All of our employees will do their best to minimize disturbance to your daily routine as much as possible. They also use the greatest care when entering, exiting, and performing the removal so as not to damage your house or business.

For your asbestos linoleum removal requirements from NH, MA, ME, and VT, properties, trust the professionals at Peniel Environmental. We are the premier choice for safe and prompt asbestos removal. One of our estimators can easily give you a no-cost quote whenever it is convenient for you.

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.
