Asbestos Inspection & Removal | Paramus, Bergen County | AAA Lead Pro
Asbestos Inspection and Safe Asbestos Removal in Paramus, NJ
Paramus sits in the heart of Bergen County, and like much of North Jersey, its residential neighborhoods are full of homes built between the 1940s and 1980s. Those decades lined up almost exactly with the peak of asbestos use in American construction. Floor tiles, attic insulation, pipe wrapping, textured ceiling coatings, and roofing shingles all commonly contained asbestos.
At AAA Lead Pro, we help Paramus homeowners determine whether there’s any asbestos in their homes. If there is, we remove it safely.
What Does an Asbestos Inspection Involve?
An asbestos inspection starts with a walkthrough of your home by a professional asbestos inspector. We’re looking to identify materials that are likely to contain asbestos based on their age, condition, and location. During an asbestos inspection, we collect samples without disturbing the material and send them to an accredited testing lab. Once the results come back, we go through them with you and explain what they mean.
If asbestos is found to be damaged or deteriorating, it poses an active inhalation risk. If it’s intact and undisturbed, we’ll tell you that, along with our recommendations for the next steps. For homeowners concerned about indoor pollutants beyond asbestos, our air testing services cover a wide range of airborne hazards, giving you a complete view of what’s happening inside your home.
What Happens if Asbestos Is Not Removed?
Asbestos that’s in good condition and left undisturbed may not pose an immediate danger, but it doesn’t stay that way forever. Aging, renovation activity, water intrusion, or even routine wear can cause asbestos-containing materials to break down and release harmful fibers. Once airborne, the fibers can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. These conditions can develop silently over decades.

Our licensed asbestos removal team follows New Jersey DEP protocols from start to finish. We seal off the work area, safely remove all affected materials, arrange compliant disposal, and conduct post-clearance air testing before we leave.

FAQ
What is asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals, popularized due to their malleability and resistance to heat, water, and electricity.
Scientific findings about health problems from asbestos exposure lead to a steep decline in asbestos use by the late 1970s. Airborne asbestos fibers can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, pulmonary diseases like asbestosis, pleural plaques, and other health risks.
Types of asbestos include:
- Chrysotile (white asbestos)
- Amotile (brown asbestos)
- Crocidolite (blue asbestos)
- Anthophyllite, tremolite and actinolite.
How much does asbestos removal in Bergen County cost?
The cost of asbestos inspection services or asbestos removal (asbestos abatement project) depends on a variety of factors, such as the square footage of your residential or business buildings, and the tools our workers will need. Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to generalize about the exact price.

- Flooring, floor tiles
- Cement sheets, soundproofing material

Who can do asbestos testing and inspections in NJ?
Asbestos inspection experts, who should be certified by the EPA.
You may have heard of DIY asbestos testing kits, general handymen who claim they can handle removing asbestos for you, or mail-in lab testing. None of these options are safe or satisfy legal requirements for professionally verifying that your renovation, construction, or demolition project will be asbestos-safe.
Asbestos-related work is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Asbestos laws in NJ include the New Jersey Asbestos Control and Licensing Act and Asbestos National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Can anyone remove asbestos in Bergen County NJ?
It is illegal for any unlicensed person or company in New Jersey to conduct asbestos removal.
You cannot endanger workers and residents with health risks from when asbestos fibers escape. It’s also illegal to hire uncertified workers to remove asbestos, or to work on materials that contain asbestos.
All asbestos abatement must be conducted by a properly trained and certified asbestos contractor company like AAA Lead Professionals. All the contractor’s employees conducting the abatement must have EPA certification, proper PPE and a Department of Labor and Workplace Development (DOLWD) worker or supervisor permit.
