How Do You Know if Asbestos Is Present?

Asbestos is commonly found in older buildings, especially in materials like insulation, roofing, flooring, and textured paints. If your building was constructed before the 1980s, it's important to consider an inspection.

While visible signs such as deteriorating insulation, crumbling drywall, or brittle ceiling tiles might suggest the presence of asbestos, the fibers are microscopic and can only be confirmed through professional testing.

At Scott Asbestos And Hazardous Material Removal Ltd, we provide comprehensive asbestos testing and removal services to ensure your safety. So, if you suspect its presence or are gearing up to sell or buy and need a professional assessment, give us a call.

How Is Asbestos Removed?

Asbestos removal is a delicate and highly regulated process. When asbestos-infused materials are disturbed, the fibers can become airborne, posing a serious health risk. This is why it's essential to hire our certified professionals to manage the removal.

Our process generally involves:

1. Conducting a thorough inspection to assess the extent of asbestos contamination
2. Quarantining the affected area to prevent the spread of contamination
3. Wetting down the asbestos materials to minimize the release of fibers
4. Carefully removing and containing the asbestos in approved, sealed containers
5. Thorough cleaning of the area using HEPA vacuums to capture any remaining fibers
6. Proper disposal at designated hazardous waste facilities

All of these steps are conducted following strict industry-regulated guidelines.

How Much Does It Cost To Get Rid of Asbestos?

The cost of asbestos removal is based on the extent of the contamination and the complexity of the removal process. Factors such as the type of asbestos material, the size of the affected area, and whether the asbestos is located in hard-to-reach areas can all influence the final price. In some cases, additional costs may arise from permits, disposal fees, or necessary repairs after the removal.
