SAFE ASBESTOS REMOVAL – NEVER CLEAN IT YOURSELF

Removing asbestos is not a typical construction or reconstruction work. It needs specially trained staff and protective measures. It is very important to never clean it yourself to prevent asbestos exposure which will give you serious problems with your health. Knowing the fact that this material is banned around the world for its high-risk toxicity, means you should always ask for an asbestos removal company’s help. Asbestos-containing products that are not damaged or worn and broken are considered to be safe. If the product is damaged already, asbestos fibers can easily become airborne and enter your respiratory system. There is no safe level of asbestos exposure so to prevent this, it should be handled only by professionals with the appropriate equipment. 

THE REMOVAL PROCESS

A licensed professional will perform an inspection to test any potentially dangerous asbestos-containing product. Individuals with no safety equipment should not touch the toxic materials. Then the inspector will determine if it only needs encapsulation or complete removal of the materials. After the inspection, the professionals will decide what will happen next. If it only needs to be encapsulated then a coat of sealant will be applied to the asbestos materials, preventing the fibers from becoming dangerous.

If the damage is severe and the removal is necessary, the process will continue with prepping the area. This includes turning off any ventilation system to prevent fibers from circulating into the air and covering the work area with plastic sheets. Then clean and vacuum the space after removal, and place all dangerous damaged asbestos into containers that are sealed tight. The team that will do the work should be wearing safe coveralls with masks and then clean properly and decontaminate after finishing the job. After the removal is done, the asbestos materials will be disposed to a landfill that is qualified to receive this kind of waste.
