Central Insulation Systems
Serving Cincinnati

Central Insulation Systems Inc. operates across Hamilton County, bringing EPA and OSHA-compliant asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, and hazardous waste remediation services to residential, commercial, and industrial properties throughout Cincinnati, OH. Their fully licensed team handles the complex environmental challenges that come with older buildings in neighborhoods from Over-the-Rhine to Mt. Adams, where decades of industrial history have left behind materials requiring specialized removal expertise.

The company's comprehensive approach covers everything from spray-applied fireproofing for new commercial construction near Great American Ball Park to selective interior demolition for historic renovation projects. Their insulation installation services address the specific climate needs of Cincinnati's river basin location, where temperature fluctuations and humidity levels demand proper mechanical system insulation and wall applications. When property owners search for the best hazardous material removal near me, they find a team that understands both federal environmental guidelines and the unique building challenges of Hamilton County's diverse architectural landscape.

What sets Central Insulation Systems apart is their ability to handle multiple environmental services under one roof, from PCB removal to biological waste disposal. Their fireproofing expertise includes intumescent paint application and fire-resistive material installation, critical services for Cincinnati's ongoing commercial development along I-71 and I-75 corridors. Whether you need asbestos testing in a Westwood home or lead paint abatement in a downtown commercial building near you, their regulatory compliance and local knowledge ensure projects meet all safety standards while protecting Cincinnati's community health.

★★★★★
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 Cincinnati

How do I know if my floor tile is asbestos?

Those vinyl floor tiles in your Over-the-Rhine rowhouse or East Walnut Hills bungalow could absolutely contain asbestos if they were installed before 1980. Breaking or sanding them releases dangerous fibers into the air, so stop all demo work right now. Carefully cut a small sample with a utility knife, seal it in a plastic bag, and send it to a certified lab for testing before you do anything else.

Most homes in Cincinnati were built between the 1920s and 1960s, and that means asbestos. If you live in Over-the-Rhine, Mt. Adams, or any of the neighborhoods between I-71 and I-75, your house probably has it in the floor tiles, pipe insulation, or siding. The problem shows up when you start renovating. You pull up that old linoleum in the kitchen and find nine-inch tiles underneath. Or you open a wall and see white wrap around the heating pipes. Hamilton County requires proper abatement before any of that material gets disturbed.

We've been running asbestos crews out of Cincinnati since 1988. Most of our jobs come through Turner Construction and Messer Construction on projects across the city. We've done the abatement work at UC's campus for three decades, plus jobs at Cincinnati Public Schools, the VA medical center, and dozens of houses in Westwood and East Walnut Hills. If you're staring at suspected asbestos in your basement or attic, you need a crew that knows the EPA rules and won't cut corners on containment.
