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.
Certified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) under Regulation No. 8
EPA-licensed and IICRC-trained technicians with full PPE and HEPA-filtered containment
24/7 emergency response across Denver Metro, Boulder, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs
Direct billing with all major insurance carriers we coordinate the abatement scope with your adjuster

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.
Rapid mobilization, typical on-site assessment within 24 hours of your call
Containment built to CDPHE Regulation 8 standards every single time
Detailed Xactimate-compatible scopes for seamless insurance coordination
Independent third-party clearance testing for documented, defensible results
A crew that leaves your property cleaner than we found it
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:
Residential Asbestos Sources (Typical Pre-1980 Homes)
Drywall joint compound and skim coats are extremely common in homes built 1940–1980
Vinyl floor tile and the black mastic adhesive underneath
Acoustic popcorn ceiling texture softens and falls when wet
Pipe insulation wrap on basement and crawlspace plumbing
HVAC duct tape, duct insulation, and boiler jacket insulation
Cement-asbestos siding and roofing shingles
Commercial & Industrial Asbestos Sources
Spray-applied fireproofing on structural steel
Suspended ceiling tile and acoustic panels
Boiler and mechanical room insulation systems
Vinyl asbestos tile (VAT) flooring throughout office buildings
Cement board panels in commercial mechanical rooms

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.
What the Inspection Includes
Thermal imaging to identify hidden moisture behind walls and ceilings
Calibrated moisture meter readings throughout the affected area
Visual identification of suspect asbestos-containing materials
Coordination with certified third-party labs for sample analysis
Written documentation suitable for insurance and CDPHE filing

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.
Why Certified Abatement Matters After Water Damage
Active flooding/pipe bursts with standing water
Saturated insulation or crumbling drywall materials
Water spreading (wicking/seeping/leaking) into dry areas
Occupied properties where moisture control is critical

AmeriForce coordinates directly with adjusters at every major U.S. insurance carrier.

In most cases, the homeowner is responsible only for the deductible.
