FAQ

Your safety questions, answered fast

Get clear, expert guidance on asbestos, mold, lead, and hazardous material removal. We help you make safe, informed choices for your property.

How do I know if I have asbestos in my home?

All homes and builds should be inspected! But if your house is an older model there’s a good chance it contains asbestos in materials like ceiling tiles, insulation, or old flooring. The only way to know for sure is to have it professionally tested -please don’t try to remove it yourself!

Is mold really that dangerous?

Short answer: it can be. Some molds cause respiratory issues or trigger allergies, especially for kids, elders, and folks with existing conditions. Even if it’s not toxic black mold, if you can see it or smell it, it needs attention.

What should I do if I find lead paint in my house?

Don’t sand or scrape it! Lead dust is where the real danger lies. Contact a certified pro (like us!) to get you tested by our trusted third party specialists and safely remove it -especially if you have young children in the home.

Do you offer services for landlords, contractors, or commercial properties?

Absolutely. We work with businesses, property managers, and contractors all over Colorado to stay compliant and protect tenants, teams, and customers alike.

The Hidden Hazards in Colorado Homes

Living in Colorado means snow days, sunshine, and ( if your home was built before the ‘80s) a real possibility of asbestos, mold, or lead hiding where you least expect it. From Denver’s historic bungalows to multi-family homes across Aurora and Lakewood, these issues are more common than you think. Whether you're midway through a remodel or just spotted something suspicious, it’s not about panic..it’s about calling the right team. Varnoz Environmental offers certified asbestos abatement, mold remediation, lead paint removal, and hazardous material cleanup across the state. We’re here to help you understand what’s going on and fix it the right way, the first time.

Whether you just pulled up old carpet and saw something weird underneath, started coughing after a rainy season, or are halfway through a remodel and heard the word "abatement" for the first time you’re not alone.

Let’s walk through the most common environmental hazards found in Colorado homes, how they affect your health and property, and where to turn for safe, certified help.

Servicing Denver Metro and Front Range

More Common Than You Think

Still found in many homes across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, and beyond, asbestos was widely used in insulation, ceiling textures (popcorn, anyone?), vinyl floor tiles, pipe wrap, and drywall joint compound before being largely banned in the 1980s.

The risk? When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed—like during renovations or after water damage—the fibers can become airborne. Inhalation over time has been linked to serious illnesses including mesothelioma and asbestosis.

Colorado law requires certified professionals to perform asbestos abatement in most situations. If you're unsure, testing is the first step, and no, this isn’t a DIY moment.

📍 Pro tip: Homes built before 1985 in areas like Capitol Hill, Edgewater, or Aurora are high-risk zones.

Mold: It’s Not Just a Basement Problem

Colorado's dry climate gives a false sense of security when it comes to mold. But the reality? Mold thrives wherever there’s moisture.. think spring snowmelt, leaky pipes, poor ventilation, or an unnoticed roof drip.

Signs to watch for:

  • Musty smell
  • Black or green spots on walls, ceilings, or vents
  • Allergy or asthma symptoms worsening indoors

Why it matters: Mold exposure can trigger respiratory problems, particularly for kids, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems. Surface-level cleaning rarely solves it.. true remediation means stopping it at the source.

🔗 Resource: EPA Mold Cleanup Guide
📍 Local tip: Crawl spaces in Lakewood and old homes in Highlands Ranch are mold magnets. Don't wait for it to spread.

Lead Paint: Still Lurking in Older Homes

If your home was built before 1978 (which applies to thousands of homes in Park Hill, Wheat Ridge, and older parts of Denver), there’s a solid chance lead paint was used.. especially on baseboards, trim, doors, and windows.

The problem? Chipped or peeling paint and sanding during renovations release lead dust, which is easily inhaled or ingested.. especially dangerous for kids and pregnant women.

If you're planning updates or see suspicious flakes around your home, call a lead-safe certified contractor to test and handle removal the right way.

🔗 Resource: HUD Lead Safety
📍 Family safety alert: Homes with toddlers should test for lead ASAP, especially if there’s visible deterioration.
