Asbestos abatement in Scranton, PA
3 listings in this city.
Pennsylvania's rowhomes, mill towns, and older schools carry decades of pipe insulation, boiler wrap, floor tile, and roofing that predate the asbestos phase-out. In Scranton that usually surfaces during a remodel, a sale, a water leak, or storm damage, when someone finally cuts into a ceiling or pulls up a floor. Disturbing the material is what creates the hazard, so the order of operations is test first, then abate, then clear.
Brick rowhomes with basement boilers, twins and singles with asbestos siding, and institutional buildings with wrapped steam lines. Tell each Scranton contractor exactly which material you have and where, because the quote for a popcorn ceiling and the quote for boiler insulation have little in common.
All 3 Scranton listings are asbestos abatement / removal businesses. For an independent test before you hire one of them, look for a separate inspection firm. None of the listings currently show a license note on file, which means we have not verified one, not that none exists. Verify before you sign. We also cover Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Allentown in Pennsylvania; for a commercial project it is normal to get bids from more than one metro.
Pennsylvania certifies asbestos workers, supervisors, and inspectors through the Department of Labor and Industry, and Philadelphia and Allegheny County add their own local requirements. Check any license a company claims through the Pennsylvania professional licensing before work starts. Abate Safe is a directory, not an abatement company: we list contractors, you call them, and the state, not this site, confirms who is licensed.

Frequently asked questions
How much does asbestos abatement cost in Scranton?+
Price follows the material, the square footage, and the containment it needs. A small floor-tile or ceiling job in Scranton is priced very differently from a basement full of pipe insulation or a commercial space with air monitoring. Get a written scope that names the material, the method (removal or encapsulation), and who does clearance testing. Our asbestos abatement cost guide lays out the typical drivers.
Do I need to test before hiring an abatement contractor in Scranton?+
Yes, unless you are willing to treat the material as asbestos and pay for full abatement regardless. Pennsylvania's rowhomes, mill towns, and older schools carry decades of pipe insulation, boiler wrap, floor tile, and roofing that predate the asbestos phase-out. An accredited lab sample settles it for a fraction of the cost of removal, and an independent inspector keeps the test separate from the sales pitch. See when to test for asbestos.
Can I remove asbestos myself in Scranton?+
Homeowners can legally handle some materials in their own single-family home in many states, but disposal rules, notification, and the health risk make it a poor trade for most people. Multifamily, rental, and commercial properties almost always require licensed crews. Pennsylvania certifies asbestos workers, supervisors, and inspectors through the Department of Labor and Industry, and Philadelphia and Allegheny County add their own local requirements, so check the rules for your property type before touching anything.
What does a proper asbestos abatement in Scranton include?+
Sealed containment under negative air pressure, wet removal, double-bagged regulated waste with a manifest, and clearance air sampling before anyone moves back in. Common Pennsylvania settings include brick rowhomes with basement boilers, twins and singles with asbestos siding, and institutional buildings with wrapped steam lines, so confirm the contractor has done your type of material.
