Why Should Asbestos Be Removed?
Asbestos is a hazardous mineral whose fibers are found in many building materials including insulation, drywall, and roof shingles. More than 25 million homes and businesses in the US are likely to carry asbestos. Many historic Colorado buildings probably carry asbestos. If your building was built before 1980, the chances of asbestos exposure go up drastically. But even if your property was built after 1980, there is still the possibility that it could contain asbestos. It wasn’t until forty years ago that scientists discovered the negative health effects of asbestos. Asbestos-related disease mostly occurs in people who work with asbestos in construction jobs.
Asbestos exposure can lead to:
- Shortness of breath
- Crackling sound when breathing
- Chest pain and tightness
- Fluid accumulation around the lung
- Abdominal swelling and distension
- Bowel obstruction
- Cancerous Mesothelioma
Make sure you and your family are safe.
When to Call an Asbestos Abatement Company?
Asbestos becomes dangerous when it is disturbed and becomes airborne. Fine particles in the air can enter the lungs and begin causing discomfort. Asbestos usually becomes airborne during a home move or a remodeling project.
Test your building for asbestos if you are:
- Remodeling a kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom
- Doing HVAC work in the attic space
- Converting an old storage space to a guest bedroom
- Working on a building’s exterior and removing siding
- Replacing any insulation
- Removing old vinyl flooring
Still not sure? Better to be safe.
The Asbestos Removal Process
Due to the dangers of asbestos exposure, a professional team must take care to contain and dispose of the material properly. Colorado Restoration Experts follows all federal and state guidelines for safety and containment.
1. Testing: We will connect you with a trusted testing company that will let you know the extent of your asbestos contamination.
2. Location Prep: Once tests come back, we will prepare the building for asbestos removal. This may include shutting down the air ventilation systems.
3. Containment: Following rigid protocol, our team contains the asbestos to a sealed off area. This way we can remove the material without it affecting uncontaminated spaces like entryways, hallways, and work spaces.
4. Vacuum & Clean: We use powerful HEPA vacuums to remove any particles from the air and exposed articles like furniture and countertops.
5. Disposal: We make sure all asbestos disposal is done according to state standards. This includes disposing of materials at certified landfills that satisfy state regulations.
6. Inspection: The final step is to bring in a 3rd-party testing company to make sure your space has been thoroughly cleaned. We will provide a comprehensive report detailing the results of the remediation.
