New Year, No Asbestos: Start 2026 with a Safer Seattle Property

Published on Dec 22, 2025

 


Let’s be honest. New Year’s resolutions are mostly lies we tell ourselves between bites of leftover pie and the moment someone offers us a mimosa on January 1st.

We say we’ll eat healthier.
We say we’ll hit the gym.
We say we’ll meditate and drink more water.
Meanwhile, our home is sitting there like,

“Cool, but I’m still full of asbestos. So, enjoy that kombucha while I quietly poison your lungs.”

So this year, let’s make a real resolution.
Not one that disappears by the time your Christmas decorations are halfway down.
We’re talking about asbestos removal. Yes, it’s not sexy. It doesn’t come with a new gym outfit. But you know what it does come with? Clean air. Peace of mind. And not coughing your way through 2026.

Welcome to R & M Asbestos & Demolition—your go-to crew for certified asbestos removal in Seattle, plus the kind of professional demolition services that don’t end in a call to your insurance adjuster.


What’s the Deal with Asbestos Anyway?

You might be wondering, “Do I really need to worry about asbestos?”
Well, that depends.
Do you live in or own a property in Seattle built before 1980?
If yes, then yeah—you probably do.

Back in the day, builders loved asbestos. They used it in insulation, flooring, pipes, ceiling tiles, popcorn ceilings (ugh), siding—basically, if it was a surface, they slapped asbestos on it like it was avocado toast.

Why? Because it was cheap and fireproof.
Why not anymore? Because it’s literally toxic and has been linked to:

And the best part? It doesn’t just “go away.” Asbestos stays in your building until someone (us!) comes in and removes it safely. And no, slapping a coat of paint on it and calling it “sealed” doesn’t count. Nice try, though.


So, Why Start the Year with Asbestos Removal?

Because if you’re making big plans—like remodeling, selling your property, or just trying to be less of a human disaster in 2026—then it starts with a safe, clean space.

Asbestos doesn’t care about your New Year’s intentions.
It’s not waiting until Q2 to strike.
It’s just hanging out, ready to become airborne the moment you chip a tile or open up that cozy vintage attic.

Plus, starting the year with asbestos removal just feels adult. Like, “Hey, I paid my taxes early and had my property inspected for carcinogens.” That’s power.


What R & M Asbestos & Demolition Does (So You Don’t Have To)

We’re not some fly-by-night team showing up with painter’s masks and a Home Depot bucket. We’re certified, licensed, and extremely good at this.

We offer:

We handle residential, commercial, and industrial asbestos removal throughout Seattle and the surrounding areas. If there’s asbestos in it, we’ve seen it. We’ve handled it. We’ve sent it packing.


Step-By-Step: How We Actually Remove Asbestos (Without Ruining Your Week)

Let’s walk you through how it works—because no, it doesn’t involve hazmat suits and someone shouting “EVERYBODY OUT!”

Step 1: Inspection & Testing

We inspect your property and collect samples if needed. We don’t guess—this isn’t a game show.

Step 2: Containment & Prep

If asbestos is present, we isolate the area using sealed barriers, negative air machines, and HEPA filters. Basically, it’s like we’re quarantining the worst houseguest ever.

Step 3: Safe Removal

We remove the material using certified equipment and techniques that keep particles from getting loose. It’s not cute, but it’s essential.

Step 4: Proper Disposal

We don’t dump asbestos in your trash can and peace out. We follow all legal protocols and dispose of it safely at approved facilities.

Step 5: Clearance Testing

We run final tests to confirm everything is safe, clean, and ready for life without asbestos.


We Demolish Things Too. On Purpose.

Thinking about remodeling in 2026? Planning to finally rebuild that sketchy addition some guy built in the '90s using dreams and duct tape? Start with professional demolition.

R & M Asbestos & Demolition handles:

We handle the planning, permits, and disposal, so you don’t have to stress or rent a questionable excavator from a guy named “Stretch.”
