Get Professional Asbestos RemovalAre There Different Types of Asbestos?
There are six different types of asbestos, but the most commonly found in buildings are chrysotile, white asbestos; amosite, brown asbestos; and crocidolite, blue asbestos. Chrysotile is often used in roofs, ceilings, walls, and floors, while amosite is typically found in cement sheets and insulation materials.
Exposure to any type of asbestos can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. While all forms of asbestos are hazardous, chrysotile is the most likely to be present in your home due to its once widespread use in construction materials.
How Do Professionals Plan Asbestos Disposal?
We plan asbestos disposal by thoroughly inspecting affected areas to assess the extent of contamination. This includes identifying materials that may contain asbestos and taking samples for analysis. This allows us to effectively contain the work site and ensure all safety protocols are ready.
With a plan in place, we can prepare for removal by bringing all necessary equipment, including protective gear, containment materials, and specialized removal or dust control tools. With the affected areas demarcated, the work can begin.
We can also discuss timelines during planning. Most projects can be completed in one day to two weeks, but this can vary from property to property.

How Do You Avoid Asbestos Exposure During Removal?
To avoid asbestos exposure during removal, our team uses rip-proof poly sheeting to fully contain the worksite, preventing fibers from escaping into surrounding areas. This material ensures that the asbestos-containing materials remain sealed off while we proceed with the removal.
We also use HEPA vacuums and negative air units to capture and filter out any airborne asbestos dust, maintaining clean air throughout the process. Our team follows strict safety procedures at all times, including wearing protective gear, to ensure a safe and controlled environment.
