When water hits asbestos-containing materials, you have hours, not days, to act. AmeriForce Environmental delivers certified, CDPHE-compliant asbestos abatement after burst pipes, flooding, roof leaks, and sewer backups across Denver, Wheat Ridge, Boulder, and the Front Range.
Water damage in older Colorado homes and buildings carries a hidden problem most homeowners don’t see coming. Materials installed before 1980, such as drywall joint compound, vinyl floor tile, pipe insulation, popcorn ceilings, and cement board siding, often contain asbestos. When those materials get wet, the fibers become friable: easily disturbed, easily released into the air, and dangerous to anyone working in the space. AmeriForce Environmental is Colorado’s certified asbestos abatement specialist for water-damaged structures. We don’t dry your home or process your insurance claim for water damage; we do one thing exceptionally well: we safely remove asbestos-containing materials that have been compromised by water, so your property can be returned to a safe condition for the next phase of work.


AmeriForce has built its reputation on a simple promise: when an insurance adjuster, property manager, or restoration contractor calls us, the asbestos problem gets handled correctly the first time. We’re the team that other Colorado professionals rely on to clear the path so reconstruction can begin.
Every water-damaged asbestos project follows the same four-step protocol built around CDPHE Regulation 8, IICRC standards, and the documentation insurance adjusters need to approve the claim.
A certified AmeriForce assessor walks the affected area, identifies suspect materials, coordinates testing with our independent lab partner, and prepares a detailed written estimate. Most homeowners receive their scope and pricing within 24 hours.
We prepare a CDPHE-compliant work plan, file the required state notification, and submit a fully detailed scope to your insurance adjuster. We handle the back-and-forth so you don’t have to.
Our team builds full negative-pressure containment with HEPA filtration, dons OSHA-required PPE, and carefully removes every wet, asbestos-containing material, drywall, insulation, tile, mastic, and any porous substrate that absorbed contamination.
HEPA-vacuum, wet-wipe, and visual inspection prepare the area for clearance. An independent third-party hygienist performs air sampling and issues a clearance letter, your written proof that the area is safe for restoration to begin.
Most water-damage events in Denver-area homes built before 1980 will involve at least one asbestos-containing material. Here’s what AmeriForce most commonly finds and removes after water intrusion:

Before any abatement begins, AmeriForce performs a thorough moisture and asbestos identification walk-through. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map the full extent of water intrusion, then coordinate with our independent lab partners to confirm asbestos content in any suspect materials within the affected zone.


When water meets asbestos, standard cleanup is not enough, and it’s not legal. CDPHE Regulation No. 8 requires that any disturbance of asbestos-containing material exceeding the trigger threshold be handled by a state-certified abatement contractor. AmeriForce holds every applicable Colorado certification and follows the protocol on every job, regardless of size.
AmeriForce handles water-damage asbestos events for property managers, building owners, multi-family operators, and industrial facilities across Colorado.
