Frequently Asked Questions

 What is asbestos, and why is it dangerous?

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals used in construction and industrial products for their durability and heat resistance. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and inhaled, leading to severe health issues, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

How do I know if my property contains asbestos?

Properties built before the 1980s are more likely to contain asbestos in materials like insulation, flooring, ceilings, or roofing. Professional asbestos testing is the most reliable way to determine if your property contains asbestos.

What should I do if I suspect asbestos in my home or business?

Do not attempt to remove or disturb the material yourself. Contact a licensed asbestos abatement professional for inspection and guidance. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air.

What does the asbestos abatement process involve?

The process typically includes:

  • Inspection and Testing: Identifying asbestos-containing materials.
  • Containment: Sealing off the affected area to prevent contamination.
  • Removal: Safely removing the asbestos materials.
  • Air Monitoring: Ensuring the air quality meets safety standards during and after removal.
How long does asbestos removal take?

The duration depends on the size of the project and the extent of asbestos contamination. Smaller residential projects may take a day or two, while larger commercial projects can take several days to weeks.

Is asbestos abatement covered by insurance?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance policy. Some policies may cover abatement if it is required due to damage from an insured peril, such as a fire or flood. Check with your provider for details.

Can I stay in my property during asbestos removal?

For safety reasons, it’s generally advised to vacate the premises during the abatement process. Your abatement professional will inform you based on the scope of the project.

Is asbestos removal always necessary?

Not always. If the asbestos-containing material is in good condition and not disturbed, it may be safer to leave it in place and monitor it. However, removal is recommended if the material is damaged or in an area undergoing renovation.

How much does asbestos removal cost?

The cost varies depending on factors like the size of the area, the type of material, and local regulations. Contact us for a free consultation and estimate.

How do you ensure the air is safe after abatement?

We conduct post-abatement air monitoring to confirm that airborne fiber levels meet safety standards. Clearance tests are performed before declaring the area safe for re-entry.
