Can't recommend this company enough. They went above and beyond in remediating the asbestos issue we had, and also took great care in making sure everything we had in the area was secured and kept safe during the process. Great communication, and also really quick turnaround on the results. And another great thing…

I cannot recommend HC Environmental LLC highly enough. From start to finish, the service and customer experience was excellent. Every interaction was professional, responsive, and courteous, and the team consistently exceeded my expectations. This is, without question, one of the most professional service companies I have ever worked with. They arrived when they said they would, communicated clearly throughout the process, and completed the work with exceptional attention to detail. It's refreshing to work with a company that truly takes pride in both the quality of its work and the way it treats its customers. After my experience, it's easy to understand why HC Environmental LLC has earned such outstanding reviews—they absolutely live up to their reputation. If you're looking for a company that values professionalism, integrity, and exceptional customer service, HC Environmental LLC is an easy choice. I would not hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them to anyone needing their services.

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first, but they absolutely delivered. Harold and his team did an excellent job removing the asbestos under our old tile. He was professional, detail-oriented, and completed the work within the timeframe he promised. I’m very glad I went with his company and would definitely recommend them to others.

Can't recommend this company enough. They went above and beyond in remediating the asbestos issue we had, and also took great care in making sure everything we had in the area was secured and kept safe during the process. Great communication, and also really quick turnaround on the results. And another great thing was that their price was much lower than the other estimate I got. So we got maximum help at a much lower price, and Harold and Cindy were extremely nice and helpful with everything. Can't beat it.

When I discovered asbestos containing floor tile in my home I contacted several firms that advertised asbestos remediation as a service in the Tucson area. One no longer did asbestos remediation, one did not return my call for several weeks, but the third, HC Environmental was able to come out to look at the job and make an estimate in a day or so. HC Environmental is the husband/wife team of Harold and Cindy Worthman. My initial call to HC Environmental was for a bathroom with sheet linoleum containing asbestos glued down with asbestos containing mastic. Harold quickly put together an estimate to clean the floor down to the cement, using appropriate sealing and ventilation for asbestos and was able to start the job almost immediately. I was surprised at what seemed like a very modest cost for the dangerous and difficult work - I had tried to remove some of the tile and mastic myself with some very sharp scrapers and only managed to remove a few square inches. Harold seemed confident and only asked 50% down to begin the work but I was prepared to be disappointed. I didn’t actually see the processes Harold used for his work; he had installed an ‘airlock’ on the bathroom door and a outward blowing fan on the bathroom widow. In two days, the job was finished, all the exposed surfaces wiped down and an air quality test performed that revealed no airborne asbestos in the bathroom air. I was amazed at how clean the floor was after Harold and Cindy’s work - it was right down to the bare cement, so really, an excellent job that exceeded my expectations. When I decided to replace floor coverings (rugs and linoleum) in a few other rooms I was prepared that more asbestos containing materials would be found in sheet linoleum in another bathroom, a kitchen and in the severely cracked 8x8 vinyl tiles under the rug in a large family room. I took samples and sent them to a commercial mail-in lab then called HC Environmental to look over the probable job. Harold offered to take samples for asbestos testing; he uses a lab that provides results in a day or so, and hence much faster than the mail-in lab I used so I had him go ahead. His test result indicated asbestos in the sheet linoleum and the underlying mastic and in the 8x8 vinyl tiles but not their underlying mastic. The mail-in lab test results I got later confirmed the ones obtained by Harold. Again I got a very reasonable seeming cost estimate from Harold with an almost immediate start date. The previous process repeated: an airlock entrance to the treatment area and outward blowing fans. For this job Harold used a natural oil-based solvent to remove the mastic and although he indicated the smell would dissipate in a few days, there was a lingering odor for several weeks. Again, the job performed by Harold and Cindy to clean all floors right down to the cement, removing virtually all traces of asbestos containing materials was incredibly thorough and complete. I had no reservations to follow up with installation of porcelain tile and rug on the cleaned areas. Based on my two experiences with HC Environmental I wholeheartedly recommend them for asbestos remediation work. They can get to work quickly, provide asbestos testing, show up when they say they will, do excellent work, work safely and are very cost-effective.

First I want to apologize for taking so long to write this overdue review for the honest, kind, and professional hard work that Harold & Cindy completed 22 Feb 2023. We had an estimate from a floor company to install vinyl floor tiles in 3 rooms. Two small ones and 1 large master bedroom but when the inspector discovered the old white tile was glued to the sub floor using black asbestos adhesive after we removed the old carpet on top of it for him he couldn’t do any work until it was removed by an environmental remediation company, and tested with an asbestos removal completion letter. I then when to Home Depot to get a second option but they told me the same thing and recommended HC Environmental. This is where they came in. After verifying 4 samples test showed up positive for Chrysotile asbestos between 3% - 4% and a total cost estimate we decided to have it removed so we could complete the work on the sub floor in all 3 rooms because our living room turned into a temporary bedroom for 2 people and 2 dogs. My gut feeling told me no need to get another estimate. After the removal was completed the air sample showed 0.002 way below OSHA standard of .1 for us to complete the project. When we’re ready to redo the living room and home office we plan on calling HC Environmental again. I’ve uploaded some photos for anyone who wants to see what the project looked like. Thank you again Harold & Cindy, and once again my apologies for the late review.

Harold and Cindy came over on Saturday and removed our asbestos and did an air quality test afterwards. We feel so relieved to have it gone. They are so nice and did a wonderful job at a very fair price. We highly recommend!
