Not knowing whether or not asbestos is present in your home or office can be both concerning and dangerous. If you suspect the presence of asbestos, the first thing to do is to have a professional complete a survey. If you find out that asbestos is present, you will want to get in touch with local asbestos removal specialists as soon as possible.
Safety First
When you think about asbestos, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the word “danger.” Although once commonly used in the building construction industry, asbestos has since been known to cause illnesses such as cancer and is widely banned as a construction resource. Any asbestos removal specialist will first be thinking of your family and what needs to be done to keep them safe. They will then think of their workers. Asbestos is dangerous to work with and it is important that the company you choose has trained professionals and the appropriate safety equipment for removing this substance.
Working with Asbestos
Sometimes a survey will show that the entire house needs to be stripped of old asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). In other cases, it may be that a single room or area needs to be demolished for some new construction or remodeling work. In some cases, a partial asbestos removal can be safely performed. Be sure to get a survey from our team at Blue A LTD before beginning any structural work on your own. We will first assess the damage and then present you with a complete restoration plan.
Living with Asbestos
Any qualified asbestos removal specialist will be able to tell you whether or not it is safe to continue living or working in the presence of asbestos. In many cases, the structure of the ACM is in good condition and no immediate danger is present. In other cases, a partial removal or a full demolition may be necessary. Allow our asbestos removal specialists at Blue A LTD to guide you through the best solution for your individual situation. Asbestos removal can be a daunting proposition but with the right professional, safe and qualified team, it can be affordable and efficiently handled.
