Before we talk about the specifics of our asbestos removal costs, we should first understand what asbestos is and why you may need to remove it from your property.

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in building materials in the past, especially from the 1940s to the 1990s, due to its heat resistance, insulation, and added strength. However, asbestos has been linked to numerous health risks, including mesothelioma (a type of cancer), asbestosis (a respiratory disease), lung cancer, and other illnesses. Asbestos-containing materials can deteriorate over time, becoming friable (crumbling into dust) and releasing microscopic fibers into the air, which can be inhaled by occupants, leading to long-term health complications.

Asbestos removal is the process of identifying and safely removing asbestos-containing materials from a building, either in whole or in part, to prevent asbestos exposure and health risks. Asbestos removal costs vary significantly depending on the type, amount, location, and complexity of the material, as well as the size and accessibility of the property, among other factors.
