Frequently Asked Questions
Does this website remove asbestos?
No. AsbestosRemovalBergenCounty.com is a routing and general information website. We do not inspect, test, remove, abate, monitor, or dispose of asbestos. We help callers connect with independent contractors who may serve Bergen County.
Should I disturb a material I think may contain asbestos?
No. Do not cut, sand, scrape, drill, remove, sweep, vacuum, or disturb suspected asbestos-containing materials based on guesswork. Ask a qualified professional what evaluation is appropriate.
Can asbestos be identified by appearance?
No. A material's appearance alone cannot reliably confirm whether it contains asbestos. Ask a qualified professional what testing or evaluation may be appropriate.

Not necessarily. These may be separate services depending on the contractor and project. Ask what is included before scheduling.
Are contractors licensed?

Requirements may vary by project type, building type, municipality, and current regulations. Ask the contractor what permits, notifications, monitoring, disposal, or documentation may apply.
