Asbestos removal can seem complicated and intimidating, but it’s important for your home and the safety of everyone in it. Let’s break it down into easy steps and understand how asbestos removal works.
Assessment
Asbestos removal begins with a professional assessment. Experts will check your home for asbestos. It can be found in walls, ceilings, pipes, and more.
Sealing Off the Area
Once asbestos is confirmed, it is sealed off the area. This helps prevent the spread of asbestos fibers which can be harmful if inhaled.
Safety Gear
Asbestos removal professionals wear the right safety gear such as hazmat suits and masks, as well as gloves.
Wetting Down
A special solution is used to wet down the asbestos material, keeping it nice and wet.
Removal
The asbestos-containing material is taken out carefully, avoiding breakage or the release of dust.
Double Bagging
Asbestos waste is bagged in thick durable bags to prevent the asbestos fibers from escaping.
Cleanup
The area is thoroughly cleaned and debris and dust are safely removed. There is no mess left behind.
Air Monitoring
Air is monitored post-removal for asbestos particles to guarantee the safety of the environment.
Disposal of Asbestos Waste
Asbestos waste will be properly disposed of in accordance with strict regulations. This is no ordinary trip to the garbage disposal.
Final Assessment
Asbestos removal is not a “do-it-yourself” project. It is a job for professionals due to the significant health risks associated with asbestos.
Safety First
If you suspect asbestos presence in your home, do not hesitate to contact a professional for a thorough assessment and, if necessary, safe asbestos removal. You and your loved ones’ safety is your top priority.
