Asbestos Removal
Asbestos was once a beneficial substance in construction and used as fireproofing and insulation. In its initial form, it was used for various types of insulation; however, when it would break down over time, the particles became hazardous to the environment.
The asbestos fibers would become airborne during renovation projects, causing the risk of exposure to increase. When asbestos fibers increase, it becomes necessary to have them professionally removed and properly disposed of by an asbestos abatement contractor.
