Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials for its heat resistance and durability. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne, posing serious health risks such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Asbestos can be found in insulation, roofing materials, flooring, ceiling tiles, pipe wraps, and other construction materials in buildings built before the 1980s.
Asbestos becomes a health hazard when its fibers are disturbed and released into the air, which can occur during renovations, demolition, or damage to asbestos-containing materials.
The asbestos removal process involves an initial inspection to assess the presence of asbestos, followed by containment to prevent the spread of fibers. Certified technicians then safely remove and dispose of asbestos-containing materials in accordance with safety regulations.
The duration of asbestos removal depends on the size and scope of the project, but most residential removals can be completed in one to three days.
In most cases, it’srecommended to vacate the property during asbestos removal to ensure safety.Our team will provide guidance based on the specific situation.

Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers, leading to scarring of the lung tissue and respiratory issues.
