What is Asbestos Abatement?

Asbestos abatement refers to the process of controlling, containing, or removing asbestos-containing materials to minimize the risks of exposure. This can include encapsulation, where a coating is applied to the asbestos-containing material to prevent fibers from escaping into the air, or removal, where the material is safely removed and disposed of by trained professionals.
