Testing is the Only Way to Identify Asbestos

Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) vary widely in appearance, function, location, and year of production, so
visual assumptions are not enough.

Do Not Disturb

When ACMs are disturbed or damaged, they release microfibers into the air that pose major health hazards, significantly increasing the risk for:

Lung Cancer
Mesothelioma
Asbestosis

A Modern Problem

While homes built before 1980 are most likely to contain asbestos, ACMs were only banned in the U.S. in 2024.

Commercial Compliance

Asbestos is highly regulated by the EPA, the CDPHE, and the Nebraska DHHS.

MARS / Jeanine is a true advocate for a homeowner. In a complex world with interests aligned against full recovery, Jeanine helped us understand what was in our home after the Eaton Fire and provided the appropriate guidance for real remediation.
She is fully committed to safety and doing things the right way. I have referred Jeanine to so many friend at this point and all of them have thanked me for the introduction.
If you are looking for a thorough and comprehensive hygienist then MARS is the choice.

If you have mold or asbestos Jeanine and her team at Mars environmental or your people, they currently came to my house and tested for radon and I have a system put in now we can sleep well at night, knowing that our levels are now controlled with the unit that they put in thanks Jeanine at Mark environmental we’re keeping us safe

MARS provided a very good experience for us. They were prompt, professional, knowledgeable, and always responsive and sympathetic to our needs. I highly recommend this company and the people who work there.

21:11 15 Dec 25

The staff was friendly and helpful from start to finish. They explained the process clearly, the technician answered all my questions on-site, and the results were provided promptly. While the results weren’t ideal, I’m glad I had the testing done and would use them again for future properties.”

What a great company and wonderful people to be helped by. It's a family run business with knowledgeable, caring people who have information, compassion and support - they know the stress and angst that can be there with concerns of environmental issues in our homes. They are patient, kind, helpful and I feel supported knowing they are there for me should I need more help in the future. This itself feels good. I like the personal quality of their communication and business. They did testing for me and explained in detail the results so I feel clear about how to proceed. I highly recommend M.A.R.S. Good to have tested for VOC's and other items they thought needed testing. I wasn't sold unnecessary tests, I didn't feel taken advantage of, or pushed to do things that weren't necessary. All around a good and educational experience considering what it is.
Thank you Jeanine, Lindsay and Brooke. I hope it's okay to use your names! If not, tell me and I'll edit them out!

Thank you Jeanine and the entire MARS team. Not sure what we would have done without your guidance through this time! I appreciate the work you’re doing to keep us all safe. Thank you to your hard work, honesty, attentiveness and dedication to this work.

Jeanine, the owner, demonstrated exceptional expertise in environmental testing after the fire at my house. She provided thorough explanations of how fire and smoke impact homes and air quality, and clearly outlined the necessary steps for restoration. Her professionalism and knowledge were impressive, and I appreciated her informative approach to getting my home back to a safe and healthy state.

14:39 19 Aug 25

MARS environmental is excellent, has great communication, and is reasonably priced. They were able to replace our radon system that was not up to code before we closed on our house.

Highly recommend!

My heart goes out to anyone having to shop for post-disaster environmental testing, but I can enthusiastically recommend Jeanine and her team at M.A.R.S., especially to people dealing wildfire/WUI fire smoke damage.

Our house was in the heart of the Eaton Fire. It was left standing but smoke damaged. For four months, our insurer downplayed the health risks, offering to essentially wet wipe the walls and vacuum our bed after their own test found lead. They didn't address VOCs, SVOCs, heavy metals, though.

We knew that getting our own testing was the only way to push for a more thorough remediation. M.A.R.S came highly recommended by fire survivors in Colorado, also by local word of mouth, even by other industrial hygeniests and folks at United Policy Holders.

Jeanine fit us into one of the weekend trips she'd been doing to the Eaton Fire Scar this spring. And she tailored our tests to address our needs for our claim, and our financial limits. She asked for our prior test results so she could make sure she was only running tests we needed.

On the day, she showed up early. I was thrilled when she said we didn't need to enter the house. Also, her team wore protective gear. (For four months, everyone -- the insurance adjuster, other IH's, and others -- would enter the house casually, often with no masks or PPE, as if it were no big deal. I felt subtly peer-pressured to go in unmasked myself, to take and wash things, and now regret it.)

The results took a while, but the labs have been swamped, and M.A.R.S. was in touch. And when the results did come in, the level of detail and care with which Jeanine laid out her report was remarkable. And her explanations of results rigorously supported her recomendations. She included and referred to all the prior results. And she is up to date on current and emerging science and standards.

In many ways, the new results were bad news (the highest levels of Dioxins she'd seen in the area as well as Beryllium, which we're now learning has shown up in unprecedented levels in the Eaton Soot and Ash), but at least we are now armed with data.

I'm trying to think of constructive criticism, but I really just feel gratitude for Jeanine, Rebecca, and the whole team.

We're still going to have to fight to get the insurance to follow her recommendations so it's all still an ongoing nightmare. That said, the two moments of greatest relief I've felt since the fire were, first, when the M.A.R.S. team showed up at our house, and then later, when Jeannine sent our results. She's smart and talented, and I believe that she does this work because she genuinely cares about protecting people's health. She's a methodical hero :), a literal lifesaver!

Just hired MARS environmental to do a meth test for a home we have under contract. They got me setup with an appointment fast. The tester arrived on time, was friendly and explained everything. I recommend!

20:50 25 Jul 25

I loved how responsive MARS was! I filled out the "contact us" form on their website and heard back via email within 24 hours. We scheduled a same-week appointment. I was emailed an estimate and invoice. They requested a deposit of $100 on a $400 invoice which seemed completely reasonable to me.
I received appointment reminders via text and email. The tester/employee showed up on time and I received a results phone call within 24 hours. I know I'll receive the emailed results within another work day, but they were able to call and give me the peace of mind sooner rather than later.
If you're looking for a quick and professional company, I'd highly recommend MARS Environmental.

Jeanine and Mars Environmental are Exceptional! They not only helped me with the scientific analysis to impress upon my insurance company to do what was right, and fair but they also held my hand throughout the process. Jeanine and her team went above and beyond to help us. We are very grateful.!

They were very communicative upfront, and continue to be very responsive. They worked with our budget, doing necessary tests. They wrote an extensive report and included remediation recommendations based on the data, which is really hard to find these days. Super grateful for this team!

14:18 13 Jun 25

What a great company! My husband and I are currently under contract with a home. We had a last minute mold inspection and they were able to schedule us in the next day. Very little notice! Linzy did an amazing and thorough job! She knows what she is doing and very pleasant to work with. We are very grateful they were able to squeeze us in their busy schedule. 100% recommend!

Jeanine has been the lighthouse guiding us through the tumultuous storm following the damage to our home from the Eaton Fire. Her deep knowledge and experience in fire science has helped us decide on a course of action in dealing with the damage, and provided us with a view to a way forward.

19:54 01 Apr 25

I recently paid for a meth test for a house I’m about to purchase. Jeanine was early to the appointment, professional, and worked quickly but thoroughly. I highly recommend this company for any environmental testing you need done.

19:58 20 Mar 25

Jeanine is a very hardworking individual who strives for excellence ALL the time! I really appreciate that she took the time to correct our report, even though she was busy traveling to another state for work. Her work is very thorough. I will defiantly use her again because she is the best!!!

Great service! The work was done efficiently and the tech explained everything. Highly recommend.

Such a fantastic company. They did radon mitigation for a property and knocked it out of the park. It was not an easy space to mitigate in, but they figured out the perfect solution. Timely and price was good as well.

19:59 10 Jan 25

Fantastic group of people. They are fast and friendly. We are an asbestos removal company and love referring them out to clients. Keep up the great work!

FAQs

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that gained popularity in the construction & manufacturing industries due to its robust strength and heat-resistant properties. When asbestos is disturbed, fibers become airborne and inhaled which can cause serious health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

When Should I Test for Asbestos?

If you suspect asbestos or plan on starting a home project that involves the disturbance or removal of any untested materials, contact a licensed asbestos inspector who can safely assess the situation and recommend next steps. These will often include testing, removal, or containment.

What Should I Do if Asbestos is Found?

First, determine the condition of the ACM. If there is no current damage, and future damage is highly unlikely, it can be best to simply leave the ACM alone. On the other hand, if there is any damage at all, or if disturbance is likely or forthcoming, consult with a licensed abatement professional immediately. M.A.R.S. Environmental can help design and manage the abatement project, and recommend a high-quality local abatement specialist.

What is Asbestos Abatement?

Abatement includes removal, encapsulation, or enclosure of asbestos-containing materials to prevent air contamination and human exposure to asbestos fibers. Only licensed professionals can create and execute asbestos testing & abatement plans.

Testing is the ONLY way to know if asbestos is a threat to your health, your family, or your property.
