Asbestos Inspection Services
Asbestos is a tiny fiber that was commonly used in the past, primarily as insulation and in various building materials for added strength and flame resistance. However, exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health issues, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, often developing decades after exposure.
What You Need to Know About Asbestos
Homes built prior to the 1970s may contain asbestos in insulation, plumbing, paint, wall joint compound, and other materials. While these materials are safe if in good condition, they can become hazardous if disturbed during renovations or demolitions, releasing harmful fibers into the air.
Asbestos Regulations
The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) mandates that property owners obtain an asbestos inspection before any demolition or renovation work. This ensures the safety of all occupants and workers.
How Can Asbestos Be Removed?
If your home contains asbestos, you have two options:
- Removal: This involves safely taking out the asbestos-containing materials.
- Sealing: This method involves encapsulating the materials to prevent fiber release.
Both options require the expertise of a trained professional to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
How Do I Know if My Home Contains Asbestos?
If you suspect your home may contain asbestos, it’s crucial to get a thorough inspection by a qualified professional. Asbestos can only be detected using specialized equipment and techniques. Our inspectors are trained in asbestos detection and will take samples for laboratory analysis.
