Asbestos Removal in Cabot, AR
Cabot runs on a different pattern from the rest of our service area. It is Lonoke County, it is an exurb on the Highway 67 corridor, and the housing mix is split between newer subdivision neighborhoods along Mountain Springs and Highway 5 and older farmhouses, shops, and outbuildings on the county roads. Both halves can turn up asbestos, but they look very different in person. Testing first, written quote, removal only where the lab says there is something to remove. Call (501) 817-7825.

Outbuildings, shops, and farmhouse siding
A big share of Cabot calls are not on the house at all. They are on the detached shop, the equipment barn, the pump house, or the old chicken house that an owner is tearing down to put something new in its place. Transite cement-asbestos sheet was common on rural outbuildings through the 1960s and 1970s, and it does not weather off — it just cracks and spalls. The sampling for one of these is quick: a thumbnail chip from a cracked corner, in a bag, off to the lab.
Farmhouse siding on the older rural stock around Cabot often turns out to be transite as well. A re-side, an addition, or a storm repair that cuts into it is what forces the test. Where the siding is intact we usually quote painting and leaving it in place, because that reads lower risk than tearing it off when nobody has to.
Subdivision houses and renovation triggers
The 1970s and 1980s subdivision houses along Highway 5, Highway 89, and the streets off the Highway 67 interchanges still fall inside the asbestos window. Popcorn-ceiling texture was still being sprayed into mid-eighties builds. 9×9 vinyl tile was still being installed in utility rooms. Transite was tapering off but still appeared on some of the earlier subdivisions.
The renovation trigger is the same as elsewhere: a kitchen or bath remodel, a flooring refresh, or a buyer's inspection on resale. We sample what the renovation touches, send it to the lab, and quote the removal only against materials that come back positive. The round trip from Little Rock to Cabot is on the daily route, so travel does not inflate the quote.
What we handle on Cabot jobs
Across Cabot and the Lonoke County exurb we handle:
Asbestos testing and inspection. Samples sent to the lab, results typically in two to three business days, and a written report that works for a sale, a renovation permit, or ADEQ notice. $50 to $75 per sample.
Popcorn ceiling asbestos testing and removal. Test the texture first; if the lab is positive, wet-scrape it in a sealed room and finish with a flat ceiling ready for paint.
Asbestos floor tile and mastic removal. 9×9 vinyl and the black mastic underneath, taken up wet, with the slab left ready for new flooring — or sealed in place under the new floor where the lab allows it.
Asbestos siding removal. Transite shingles pulled off whole, nail by nail, for a re-side or a window job. Painted and intact siding gets quoted for leave-in-place instead.
Asbestos pipe and boiler insulation removal. Pipe lagging, boiler jackets, HVAC duct wrap and asbestos tape pulled wet so plumbing and HVAC trades can work in the space.
Vermiculite attic insulation removal. Loose Zonolite attic fill vacuumed out with sealed equipment so the attic can be re-insulated with modern blown fibreglass or cellulose.
Whole-house abatement before a gut remodel. Full-residence containment and multi-material removal when every finish is coming out.
Commercial asbestos removal. Offices, retail, warehouses, church halls — different scope, different disposal volumes, same methods.
Pre-demolition and pre-renovation surveys. Every suspect material on the property sampled before any wall comes down, with a written survey the permit office needs.
Clearance air testing. Air samples pulled inside the sealed area after a removal, or in a room after an unexpected disturbance, to prove the space is back below the clearance limit.
Asbestos encapsulation. Where the material is intact and can be sealed in place, we quote encapsulation as the cheaper alternative to removal.
How a Cabot job runs
Site visit. One trip, whether it is a house in town, a farmhouse on a county road, or an outbuilding slated for demolition. Wetted samples are cut from each suspect material.
Written quote. After the two-to-three-day lab turnaround, you receive a quote broken out by material and location, with the schedule laid alongside.
Removal. Containment plastic around the work, negative air inside it, wetted material bagged for disposal, surfaces wiped and HEPA-vacuumed. Outbuilding tear-downs run cleaner than interior rooms because the containment is simpler.
Documents. Disposal manifest to the owner, air clearance on larger interior jobs, and a close-out letter you can hand to a buyer or a county permit office.
Cabot pricing
Cabot pricing matches the Little Rock baseline. Lab samples are $50 to $75 each. A multi-sample property inspection is $250 to $800. One popcorn-ceiling room is $1,200 to $3,000, and the whole-house ceiling strip is $3,500 to $10,000. Floor tile and the mastic underneath is $5 to $15 per square foot. Transite siding removal on a house falls between $5,000 and $15,000, and outbuilding tear-offs are priced separately. Pipe wrap and boiler jackets price at $50 to $150 per linear foot. Vermiculite attic vacuuming is $1,500 to $8,000. Encapsulation in place is $2 to $6 per square foot. The complete table is on the asbestos removal costs page.
These figures are estimates from prior Cabot and Lonoke County work. The firm quote comes from the walkthrough.
Cabot asbestos questions
How much does asbestos removal cost in Cabot?
A lab test on a single material lands at fifty to seventy-five dollars. Clearing the texture off one ceiling room: between $1,200 and $3,000. Doing all the ceilings in the house: between $3,500 and $10,000. Flooring removal runs five to fifteen dollars per square foot. Transite siding on a house is a $5,000-to-$15,000 scope. Outbuildings — shops, barns, pump houses — carry separate line items. The quoted figure is set once we have been on site.
Do you charge extra to come to Cabot?
Cabot and the Highway 67 corridor are on our standard circuit. Travel into Lonoke County is already included inside the price list — no premium is added for the drive.
Does my Cabot house or outbuilding have asbestos?
On the house side, any build predating the mid-eighties might hold the typical items — sprayed ceiling texture, nine-inch vinyl flooring, cement shingle cladding, boiler-line insulation, and attic Zonolite. On the outbuilding side, flat transite sheet was common on shops and barns through the sixties and seventies. A laboratory result is the sole confirmation on any of these.
Do I need a permit or a state notice for asbestos work in Cabot?
No filing is needed for sampling. A small residential removal within the city of Cabot usually stays below the ADEQ reporting cutoff. Any abatement sized larger, and any demolition — including a rural outbuilding tear-down — does need state notice, and we handle the submission when the project reaches that bar.
Can I remove asbestos from my own house in Cabot?
Arkansas's abatement-contractor rules carve out an exemption for a homeowner working on the single-family dwelling they live in. What makes the difference safety-wise is the hands-on method: enclosing the work area in plastic, keeping the material wet, and finishing with filtered vacuuming. The homeowner removal guide runs through the detail.
