Asbestos Encapsulation and Enclosure

In some cases, it may be preferable to leave asbestos-containing materials in place, but to encapsulate or enclose them to prevent the release of asbestos fibers. We offer a range of asbestos encapsulation and enclosure services, including:

• Encapsulation of asbestos-containing materials with a sealant
• Enclosure of asbestos-containing materials with a barrier

Asbestos Air Monitoring

Our team can conduct asbestos air monitoring before, during, and after asbestos removal to ensure that no hazardous fibers are released into the air. This service includes:

• Sampling of air for asbestos fibers
• Analysis of air samples by accredited laboratories

The Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos exposure is a serious health risk, and exposure to damaged asbestos fibers can cause a range of health problems, including:

• Asbestosis
• Lung cancer
• Mesothelioma
• Gastrointestinal malignancies
• Laryngeal cancer

These health problems can take years, even decades, to develop, and there is no guaranteed safe level of asbestos exposure. That is why it is essential to have any asbestos-containing materials removed from your home or workplace by a professional asbestos removal company as soon as possible.

Asbestos Products and Materials

Asbestos was widely used in a variety of products and materials due to its heat resistance and insulation properties. It was used in:

• Building materials, such as roofing, flooring, insulation, and siding
• Heating and cooling systems, such as boilers and furnace ducts
• Appliance components, such as oven door gaskets
• Automotive parts, such as brake pads and clutch facings
• Consumer products, such as hair dryers and ironing boards

Asbestos can be found in many older homes and buildings, and it is essential to have any suspected asbestos-containing materials tested and removed by a professional asbestos removal company.
