Asbestos Abatement & Testing
Asbestos was widely used in building materials before it was banned due to health risks. If your property was built before 1990, there is a possibility it contains asbestos-containing materials. Disturbing these materials can release harmful fibers into the air, making professional assessment and removal essential.
If you suspect that asbestos may be present in your property, it is crucial to avoid any disturbance of these materials. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air, which pose serious health risks. These fibers, when inhaled, can lead to severe respiratory conditions and long-term illnesses, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.
Common Building Materials That May Contain Asbestos:● Ceiling tiles● Vinyl Composition Tiles (VCT)● Lathe and plaster walls or ceilings● Insulation around water pipes or heat ducts● Vermiculite insulation (commonly found in attics)● Sheet vinyl flooring
Thorough Assessment and Safe Handling
Our process begins with a detailed assessment of the property to identify and test for asbestos-containing materials. Our trained and certified technicians then develop an abatement plan tailored to your specific needs. We use techniques to contain and remove asbestos safely, ensuring no cross-contamination.
Removal and Containment
During the removal process, we apply a binding agent to asbestos materials to prevent fiber dispersion. The materials are carefully removed, placed in sealed poly bags, and disposed of according to safety regulations. Air scrubbing machines equipped with HEPA filters are used throughout the procedure to maintain a safe environment.
