Central Insulation Systems
Serving Canton

When Canton homeowners and businesses Google 'best asbestos removal near me,' they're looking for contractors who understand the unique challenges of Ohio's older building stock. Central Insulation Systems Inc. has spent over three decades mastering the complex regulations that govern hazardous material removal in commercial and residential properties. Their work extends beyond Canton to major university campuses across Ohio, where they've handled everything from DAAP building renovations to stadium projects, proving their capability with the most demanding institutional clients.

The company's expertise spans the full spectrum of environmental hazards that plague older Canton buildings, from asbestos pipe insulation in century-old homes near the Pro Football Hall of Fame to lead paint removal in commercial properties along Cleveland Avenue. Their technicians follow strict EPA and OSHA protocols for every project, whether removing asbestos floor tiles from a downtown office building or installing new HVAC duct insulation in residential properties. This comprehensive approach to hazardous material remediation sets them apart from contractors who only handle basic insulation work.

Central Insulation Systems' partnership with major construction firms like Turner Construction and Messer Construction demonstrates their standing in the regional market. These relationships have led to complex projects throughout Cincinnati and surrounding areas, where precision and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. For Canton property owners dealing with the realities of aging building infrastructure, this track record provides confidence that the job will be done right the first time, with full attention to safety protocols that protect both workers and occupants.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★
THEY DID A GOOD JOB AND I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS REASONABLE.
Norman D.· Angi
★★★★★
I worked with Kevin Con, their field specialist. Kevin talked to me over the phone for quite awhile to make sure that I had a good estimate and knowledge of the procedure. The team came out early and they were efficient in the processes. I would highly recommend them especially because they worked so closely with our roofing team to get the job done in one day.
Raymond F.· Angi
★★★★★
I am just so happy. They came out on a Tuesday (the owner Steve and his son) and took a look and had a crew of 2 out for me the next day! They got there at 8:30 am and all was completed by 2:00. The follow up was excellent. I could just go on and on. I am very impressed and want to insulate everything NOW because they were so excellent!

Common Question in Canton

How do I know if my floor tile is asbestos?

Floor tiles installed before 1980 in Canton homes often contain asbestos, especially the 9x9 inch squares popular in post-war housing around neighborhoods like Whittier Park and Old Southwest. You cannot identify asbestos by looking at the tile, and disturbing it releases dangerous fibers into your home's air. Stop all renovation work immediately, carefully collect a small sample without breaking or sanding the tile, and send it to a certified lab for testing before proceeding with any removal.

Trusted by Government Agencies, Universities & Major Corporations

Most homes in Canton were built between the 1940s and 1960s, which means you're probably dealing with asbestos somewhere in your house. If you live in Whittier Park or the Old Southwest neighborhoods, those boiler pipes and floor tiles were installed when asbestos was standard. The problem isn't just removing it. It's doing the removal without spreading fibers through your house or violating EPA rules that can cost you thousands in fines.

We've been running abatement crews through Stark County since the 1990s. Most of our work comes through contractors like Messer Construction and Turner Construction who know we handle the regulations right the first time. Our trucks are out on jobs near McKinley Museum or along State Route 172 most weeks. If you're staring at old floor tiles or pipe insulation and wondering if it's asbestos, it probably is.
