Abestos Abatement

What is Asbestos?

When inhaled over long periods of time, asbestos fibers become trapped in the body and cause diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Hiring an asbestos abatement company to remove asbestos from residential and commercial buildings is the safest decision to keep yourself and others safe. Asbestos exposure is the No. 1 cause of work-related deaths in the world.

Asbestos is often found in many structures built before 1980. It is discovered during renovation, remodeling, or natural disasters. Asbestos can be any of several minerals that separate into long, threadlike fibers. Because certain varieties do not burn and do not conduct heat or electricity, they were used for making fireproof materials, electrical insulation, roofing, filters, and more. Although a homeowner is not required to remove it, the presence of asbestos may create a hazard if exposed, and removal is necessary to eliminate this danger. Commercial property owners are required to remove asbestos where exposed and/or poses a hazard. Complete and safe asbestos removal requires knowledge, talent, experience, and resources.
