Doing Business As ARI Environmental!


Asbestos Removal Inc is now doing business as ARI Environmental. We continue to specialize in asbestos removal for commercial, residential and industrial clients under the same management and owner; however, we adopted a new name to better reflect ALL the services we offer, including our expertise in environmental solutions such as asbestos, lead and mold abatement, light demolition, flooring removal and concrete grinding and universal waste removal.

Along with the new business name, the timing was ideal to update our logo to reflect some important values that have been a part of the way we do business since the company was founded in 1985. John E, our architect intern, was tasked with developing one unified logo. We wanted the logo to reflect Synergy, Simplicity and Similarity. The new logo needed to represent both sister companies, ARI Environmental and Quality Insulators.

Qualities of the ARI Environmental logo redesign:

  • Synergy between the two companies representing sharing resources and values
  • Simplicity in design to modernize
  • Similarity to bring along previous logo attributes for recognition and employee tradition

We all agree that the new logo exceeded our expectations. ARI Environmental is excited about the next chapter. Operating under our new title and logo, we continue our 40-year tradition of environmental solutions for commercial, residential and industrial clients in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Asbestos – What is it and Why is it Dangerous


What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral known for its strength and resistance to heat and chemicals. This made it a popular choice in building and construction materials. Today, the danger of exposure to asbestos fibers has been recognized and its use is banned in many countries, including the United States.

If Asbestos is Banned, why is it Dangerous Now?

Asbestos was so widely used that it still exists in many homes and buildings. Asbestos becomes a health hazard when disturbed or damaged. Planned and unplanned home renovations, building demolition, commercial and industrial facility maintenance cause asbestos fibers to become airborne. These tiny fibers can cause severe respiratory problems and cancer when occupants are exposed. This means if the material is undisturbed or undamaged, it’s not necessary to remove it as asbestos materials are often adequately contained within walls or covered by sealants.

Regulations on Asbestos Handling

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services states that, “all untested building materials other than wood, metal, glass, or fiberglass, as well as all vermiculite, tested or untested, are assumed to contain asbestos.” Federal OSHA, EPA and state laws govern asbestos regulations and maintain that disturbances of asbestos containing materials should be conducted by trained and certified individuals. Interpretation and local regulations vary by state; therefore, it is important to hire a contractor licensed in your state who understands the unique exposure risks. ARI Environmental holds licenses in Wisconsin and Michigan and has been asbestos experts for over 40 years.

What Steps Should I Take to Protect Against Asbestos Exposure?
  • Inspection: The first step is to call ARI Environmental, an experienced licensed company with trained and certified professionals, to discuss the potential hazard
  • Testing: Asbestos fibers are nearly impossible to detect with the naked eye. If asbestos is suspected, a certified inspector will coordinate the testing and analysis of the suspected material with a 3rd party accredited laboratory
  • Plan: If the analysis is positive for asbestos, a plan for proper removal will be discussed and an Official Notice will be filed with the state
  • Action: Removal will take place using required respiratory and protective clothing, protective enclosures, and specialized equipment necessary for the protection of workers, occupants and the environment
  • Assurance: Proper handling, disposal and documentation to assure 100% compliance, safety and satisfaction

ABC Project of Distinction Gold Award


Quality Insulators was awarded the ABC Project of Distinction Gold Award for the featured project: Bellin Health Ambulatory Surgery Center.

A very proud moment for Quality Insulators and ARI Environmental- two synergistic sister companies that share resources and values. A testament to the hard work and dedication of our employees! To win the gold award, the project must push the boundaries of construction by demonstrating:

  • Excellence in safety
  • Quality
  • Innovation
  • Team collaboration
  • Craftsmanship
  • Execution
  • Budget compliance
  • Handling complex challenges

About the project…

Quality Insulators, Inc. installed over twenty miles of insulation for Bellin Health’s Ambulatory Center within nine months, making it one of the largest projects completed considering cost, manpower and time to completion. The proficiency required when working with two mechanical contractors fundamentally affected QI’s design and timeline. Collaboration with fellow stakeholders was extensive and critical for meeting objectives. The original contract was delivered on budget and on time regardless of additions and adjustments.

Factors contributing to the success were:

  • scheduling adaptations
  • workforce flexibility
  • mitigating equipment delays
  • technical expertise that went above and beyond expectations

In early 2022, QI implemented our Sustainability Program. Knauf and Johns Manville meet QI’s sustainability material supplier standard by supplying insulation that passes Greenguard Certification requiring results that meet chemical emission standards. Overall project management led to a contract extension for Phase 2.

This would not be possible without a commitment to safety resulting in QI having no workplace injuries contributing to a Total Recordable Incident Rate of zero, one of the proudest, yet expected contributing factors to the project success!
