Asbestos Removal
Asbestos & Lead Abatement by The Modern Pros
Safety • Compliance • Peace of Mind
When you’re dealing with asbestos or lead in your home or commercial building, it’s not a DIY project—it’s a safety issue. The Modern Pros are a Michigan state-licensed, certified, and insured asbestos and lead abatement company, serving homeowners and businesses across Southeast Michigan with careful, compliant removal and remediation.
Our trained crews use specialized equipment, safety protocols, and strict containment procedures to help protect your family, tenants, or employees while we address hazardous materials the right way.
Asbestos Removal & Abatement
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral, but that doesn’t make it safe. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed, tiny fibers can become airborne and inhaled, which may lead to serious long-term health problems.
Instead of tearing into suspected asbestos yourself, the smartest first step is to call an abatement professional. The Modern Pros can:
- Inspect and identify suspected asbestos-containing materials
- Set up proper containment and negative air systems
- Safely remove or encapsulate asbestos in accordance with regulations
- Coordinate testing and disposal through approved facilities
- Restore affected areas so they’re ready for future use or renovation
Lead Abatement & Lead-Safe Renovation
Lead can be found in older paint, dust, soil, and sometimes plumbing components—especially in homes built before modern standards were in place. Lead exposure is a serious concern, particularly for children and pregnant women.
Our lead abatement services are designed to reduce risk and help create a safer living or working environment. The Modern Pros can:
- Assess painted surfaces and components that may contain lead
- Use lead-safe work practices to minimize dust and debris
- Stabilize, remove, or replace lead-painted building materials
- Clean and clear affected areas to help reduce exposure risk
- Support remodels and updates in older homes with lead-safe methods

TYPES OF ASBESTOS-LADEN MATERIALS
Asbestos was once a common component of building materials, prized for its properties, and it can still be found in many places, including:
01
Floor tile
During the removal of old linoleum or vinyl flooring, restorers may see black adhesive smears between the floor tiles and subfloor. These streaks are likely to be black mastic, a once-common but now-discontinued building product that often contains asbestos.
02
Insulation
Asbestos-contaminated vermiculite insulation looks like small pebbles which are usually grayish or silver-gold in color. This material is often found between attic joists.
03
Building materials
Boards, pipes, siding, gutter systems, and HVAC ducts used in home construction were once laden with asbestos-cement transite, popular for its durability and heat-resistant properties.
04
Pipe wrap
Asbestos pipe wraps protected against corrosion and abrasion in the joints of pipe systems, while also providing strong insulation and warding off freezing and the spread of fires.
05
Octopus furnace
An octopus furnace is an old, complex machine that does not use a blower fan to move heated air around. This type of furnace is most likely to contain asbestos insulation around its multiple arms of ductwork.
PROFESSIONAL ASBESTOS REMOVAL
Asbestos is one of those substances that when you hear about it, you want to know immediately where it is so you can stay far away from it. When the material shows up in the space you live or work in, however, you’re in the position of figuring out how to make the area safe for all inhabitants as quickly as possible – and that only happens through the help of an expertise who has the right knowledge, tools, and speed to get the job done. If you suspect that your home has asbestos – whether in ceilings, floors, roof, walls, siding, insulation, HVAC systems, pipes, ductwork, or otherwise – contact The Modern Pros and get the guidance you need about the logistics, cost, and consequences of asbestos removal. Trust in the proper handling of this dangerous material and the careful removal and disposal of asbestos. Improper removal could result in the tiny, hazardous fibers being released into the air and causing respiratory illnesses and other health conditions. Have your home or office inspected for asbestos before remodeling projects of any size. Schedule an appointment with The Modern Pros
