Active Environmental Group

Asbestos abatement is a highly specialized and regulated field where projects are extremely time-sensitive. A qualified team with substantial industry experience is essential for successful asbestos testing and abatement while ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.

Active Environmental Group, a woman-owned business, is one of the long-standing asbestos abatement specialists in the industry. With over three decades of experience, it is a go-to partner for individuals and companies looking for comprehensive asbestos testing and removal services. Its distinct reputation is complemented by a track record of handling the most challenging abatement projects for clients, including school boards, government facilities, nursing homes, synagogues and more.

“We are known for providing reliable and efficient asbestos removal services, and our repeat customers are a testament to our quality workmanship,” says Nathan Leifer, president.
Active Environmental Group’s services include emergency cleanups, regular building renovations and large-scale rebuilding projects. It also helps clients with all necessary permits for seamless project completion, whether renovation or an extension of their dream home.

It primarily operates in New York, where construction and demolition projects require an Asbestos Assessment Report (ACP-5 form) to guarantee that the property is completely asbestos-free. Leveraging Active Environmental Group’s abatement service is equivalent to acquiring an ACP-5.

Ensuring the highest quality service for clients while maintaining safety and compliance standards is the top priority at Active Environmental Group. When dealing with asbestos, people often feel anxious and uncertain. The company understands their concerns and takes the time to educate them on the entire process. Its approach to client satisfaction is centered on creating a calm and reassuring environment.

Upon receiving a request for asbestos removal, it sends a team member to visit the site for assessment. Within 24 hours of evaluation, a Zoom meeting is scheduled to understand clients’ distinct requirements, and a proposal specifying the pricing and estimated timeframe for project completion is provided. Once the contract is signed, clients can rest assured that all necessary tasks will be taken care of.

Its pricing strategy is straightforward and transparent, guaranteeing that the amount quoted is final. It does not hide any costs or add extras that might take clients by surprise. While some competitors offer lower prices, they often fail to deliver on their promises, and clients end up paying more. Active Environmental Group’s all-inclusive pricing and timely completion of projects have earned the trust of its customers, giving them the best value for their money.

Each project is executed by its in-house team comprising licensed investigators, supervisors and contractors. The investigators carefully collect asbestos samples and send them to an accredited lab for testing. Supervisors and contractors work collaboratively to facilitate a seamless removal process. The workforce is highly flexible and works around clients' schedules, even on weekends, to ensure minimal disruption to their office hours. For projects demanding quick turnaround, an additional crew is sent out to ensure the job is completed within the desired timeframe. This reflects the company’s commitment to meeting deadlines and driving customer satisfaction.

“We deliver on our promises within deadlines, no matter what it takes,” says Joel Leifer, Chief executive officer.

Founded by Rifky Leifer and her husband Nathan in 1985, Active Environmental Group found its roots in the curiousness of its founders to learn about asbestos. They attended classes and seminars to gain adequate knowledge and established the company with five people removing asbestos from their basement. Today, it employs 65 personnel and celebrates 30 years of leading the industry in asbestos abatement.

Beyond asbestos abatement, Active Environmental Group is equipped to perform mold and lead remediation. It also offers environmental consulting services that encompass conducting phase one and two reports and managing tank and battery removal.

This wide breadth of services, combined with its commitment to safety, quality and client satisfaction, empowers Active Environmental Group to holistically tackle environmental hazards. Its multifaceted approach positions it at the forefront of environmental safety and compliance, fostering a greener, safer world for future generations.
