Asbestos is thrown around all over tv in ads, but what is it really. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that civilization mines from the Earth, it serves many purposes, from insulation to fireproofing. Although asbestos has many great qualities from a building standpoint, it has health consequences when inhaled. Most people will never have to deal with removing it, but for those that do, here are some things to keep in mind. When remodeling a house, business, school etc., it is important to test the material in which the structure is made of such as sheetrock, flooring, siding and so on. Once samples have been collected they are sent off to be tested; if any asbestos is detected in a quantity greater than 1%, it is important to hire a professional and qualified asbestos abatement contractor. Our company has completed a long list of abatement projects from homes to government offices. The expertise we bring to the job ensures that all that inhabit the structure once we remove the asbestos, will be safe for all who enter.
