Question 1

Do you handle both testing and removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ABBN is a full-service environmental contractor — we test, remediate and file the required paperwork. Where a project requires a fully independent clearance, we bring in a third-party accredited lab and inspector so the final result is never self-certified.

Question 2

How fast can you get out to my property?

Accepted Answer

We typically inspect within 24 hours across NYC, Staten Island, Long Island and northern New Jersey, and we run 24/7 emergency response for floods, stop-work orders and violations.

Question 3

What does an estimate cost?

Accepted Answer

Estimates are free. You get a written scope of work with line-item pricing, usually within 24 hours of the inspection.

Question 4

Are lab results included?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Samples are analyzed by accredited third-party laboratories and you receive the full report along with air-monitoring data and disposal manifests.

Question 5

Can we stay in the building during the work?

Accepted Answer

Most jobs run inside sealed containment under negative air pressure, so occupants can usually stay in unaffected areas. If the scope requires temporary relocation, we tell you before work starts.

Question 6

Do you work with insurance claims?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We document moisture mapping, photos, lab results and scope in the format carriers expect, and we coordinate directly with adjusters.

Question 7

Which paperwork do you file in NYC?

Accepted Answer

We handle ACP-5 / ACP-7 asbestos filings, DEP and DOB notifications, HPD lead violation clearance documentation, and all waste manifests.

Question 8

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

All five NYC boroughs, Staten Island, Nassau and Suffolk on Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey including Newark, Jersey City and Bergen County. Call if you're just outside — we usually still cover it.

Question 9

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ABBN Environmental Services, LLC is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified Firm, a NYS DOL licensed asbestos contractor and NJ DCA licensed, fully bonded and insured. Certificates of insurance are available on request for building management.

Question 10

How much does remediation cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends entirely on material, square footage and access. Small contained scopes often land in the low four figures; whole-building projects run much higher. The inspection and written estimate are free, and the price you get is itemized — no lump-sum guessing.

Question 11

Do you offer emergency response?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 24/7, for floods, sewage backups, fire damage, stop-work orders and active violations.

Question 12

Can you work nights or weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For occupied offices, retail and schools we routinely schedule off-hours so operations aren't interrupted.
