Removal

Asbestos removal is the process of removing or extracting asbestos-containing materials from a building or structure. This process is typically more extensive than abatement and involves the careful handling and disposal of the asbestos-containing materials.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we specialize in asbestos removal and have the necessary experience and equipment to ensure that the asbestos is removed safely and efficiently. Our team of experts will work with you to develop a plan of action that meets your needs and budget.

Waste

Asbestos waste is any material that contains asbestos and must be disposed of in a specific manner to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the environment. Asbestos waste can be divided into two categories: friable and non-friable.

Friable asbestos waste is any material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure. This type of waste poses the greatest risk of fiber release and must be handled and disposed of by a licensed asbestos contractor.

Non-friable asbestos waste is any material that contains more than 1% asbestos and is not friable. This type of waste poses a lower risk of fiber release and can be disposed of in a licensed landfill.

At Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon, we follow strict procedures for the handling and disposal of asbestos waste to ensure that our clients are protected from exposure to asbestos fibers.

Risk

Exposure to asbestos fibers can pose a significant risk to people's health, and the risk increases the longer the exposure lasts. People who work in the construction industry, particularly those who work on buildings constructed before 2000, are at the greatest risk of exposure to asbestos fibers.

It is essential to take appropriate measures to protect yourself and your family from exposure to asbestos fibers. If you suspect that your home or workplace may contain asbestos-containing materials, contact Affordable Asbestos Removal Devon immediately to schedule an asbestos survey.
