Overland's Mid-Century Homes Carry Documented Hazardous Material Risk
Every one of these hazards shows up in Overland's 1945-1970 housing stock. See our full services list below.
Asbestos Abatement
Overland homes built between 1945 and 1970 commonly contain asbestos in floor tiles, ceiling texture, pipe insulation, and siding, materials that release fibres when disturbed without proper containment.
Asbestos Inspection and Testing
Before renovating any pre-1980 structure, a licensed inspector must confirm whether asbestos-containing materials are present, a required step in most Missouri jurisdictions.
Mold Remediation and Treatment
Basement moisture is common in Overland's older slab and crawlspace homes, and mold takes hold behind drywall before it becomes visible.
Lead Abatement
Lead-based paint is present in most pre-1978 Overland homes, posing a direct health risk during any renovation that disturbs painted surfaces.
Water Extraction and Damage Restoration
Standing water in a basement or crawlspace creates conditions for mold growth within 24 to 48 hours and begins softening structural materials fast.
Interior Demolition
Gut renovations on Overland's mid-century homes require hazardous material screening before demolition begins, since asbestos and lead are frequently found together in the same building.
Overland's 1945-1970 Housing Stock Carries Real Hazardous Material Risk
Overland is a compact St. Louis County suburb where the overwhelming majority of homes were built between 1945 and 1970. During that construction window, asbestos-containing floor tiles, ceiling texture, pipe insulation, and siding were standard residential building materials. Lead-based paint was applied to trim, windows, and doors throughout the same era.

Answers to What Overland Homeowners Ask Before Scheduling an Inspection
Does every Overland home built before 1970 contain asbestos?
Not every home, but the statistical risk is high. Asbestos-containing materials were standard in residential construction from the late 1940s through the 1970s, in floor tiles, ceiling texture, pipe wrap, and siding. The only way to confirm presence and condition is a licensed inspection with lab-verified testing. Visual assessment alone is not sufficient.
What does an on-site consultation from Earths Solutions actually cover?
A licensed contractor visits the property, walks through the affected or suspect areas, and gives a plain-language assessment of what testing or remediation is likely needed. There's no cost and no obligation. The consultation covers properties in the St. Louis metro area including Overland. Call (314) 299-0020 Monday through Friday to schedule.
Is it safe to renovate a mid-century Overland home without asbestos testing first?
No. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials without proper containment is a federal and Missouri regulatory violation, not just a health concern. Any renovation involving walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, or pipe wrap in a pre-1980 structure should be preceded by a certified inspection. This applies to contractor-led and DIY projects equally.
How long does mold remediation typically take in a residential property?
Scope determines timeline. A contained area, one room or a basement section, can typically be completed in two to four days including containment setup, removal, treatment, and post-work verification. Larger or multi-area projects take longer. Earth's Solutions provides a written scope and timeline before any work begins.
