Roofing

Asbestos was used in roofing materials to enhance their fire-retardant properties. Asbestos-containing materials can be found in roofing felt, shingles, and cement products.

Pipes and Ducts

Asbestos was also used to insulate pipes and ducts, including around gas pipes, furnace ducts, and electrical wires.

Asbestos Abatement and Removal

Asbestos abatement and removal require a precise and delicate approach due to the hazardous nature of asbestos-containing materials. Our team of experts is trained to follow strict protocols when dealing with asbestos-containing materials to ensure that the risk of exposure is minimized.

The asbestos abatement process includes:

1. Inspection and Testing

Before starting any asbestos removal work, our team inspects and tests the suspected asbestos-containing materials. Our specialists use specialized equipment to identify the presence of asbestos fibers in building materials.

2. Containment

Asbestos-containing materials must be contained to prevent the spread of fibers in the air. Our team of experts seals the area to contain the asbestos fibers and prevent them from spreading throughout the property.

3. Removal

Once the asbestos-containing materials are contained, our team of experts will remove and dispose of them safely. We ensure that all asbestos materials are removed according to state and federal regulations.

4. Waste Disposal

All asbestos waste is disposed of according to state and federal regulations. We work closely with local waste management authorities to ensure that all asbestos-containing materials are disposed of in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

Risk of Exposure

Any individuals who come into contact with asbestos fibers are at risk of exposure. Asbestos fibers can get trapped in the lungs, causing severe health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Exposure to asbestos fibers can happen to anyone, including homeowners, contractors, and their workers. Asbestos fibers can also be carried home on clothes, shoes, and other personal items, putting family members at risk.
