Asbestos is Dangerous- Get Rid of it Today!

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that is mined in Africa and Canada. Due to its resistance to heat and decomposition, it has been used in thermal insulation, fireproofing, flooring, acoustical plaster, gaskets, fire-resistant clothing, mastics, and roofing.

Concerns began to surface after the turn of the 20th Century about health effects related to asbestos exposure. In 1975, production of products made with asbestos were banned in the USA, yet materials and products containing asbestos were still used well into the 80's until inventories of products containing asbestos were all used up. Numerous building products that contain asbestos were ever present in public schools, public buildings, shipyards, colleges and universities, government buildings, and many others.

Asbestos containing materials and products were still used well into the 80s. In other words, they could use up all the supplies but no one could make more.

What is Asbestos Abatement?

What Is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a mineral fiber that has been used for years in a variety of building construction materials as a fire retardant and building insulation in Charlotte, NC and many other areas. Asbestos is most commonly found in older homes, in pipe and furnace insulation materials, asbestos shingles, millboard, textured paints and other coating materials and in asbestos tile.

Asbestos exposure has been linked to malignant lung cancer and building departments often require asbestos removal, or asbestos abatement. Because of these risks, it is important to call a licensed asbestos specialist before attempting to remove asbestos on your Raleigh, NC area property.

Importance of Asbestos Removal

No longer using products that contain asbestos is not enough to keep building occupants protected. If asbestos has been used on your property, it must be removed entirely in order for your property to be safe. While asbestos isn’t always something you can visibly see, it can still do building occupants harm. Reasons why you need asbestos removal:

• Asbestos is highly dangerous. Asbestos is not a substance to be taken lightly. The presence of asbestos can lead to a variety of health issues and can even cause death if an individual is exposed to too much. Asbestos is a known carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer. It can also cause breathing difficulties and cardiac failure. Inhalation of asbestos is to be carefully avoided, and should you discover asbestos on your property, it is best to call a professional for asbestos removal. Disturbing the asbestos leads to more asbestos in the air and a greater risk of inhalation. Our certified team can carefully and safely remove asbestos from your property in Myrtle Beach, SC and Charlotte, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Wilmington, NC and the surrounding area.

• Asbestos removal is required by law. If you discover asbestos on your property, you are required to remove it. Asbestos is so dangerous that laws have been made that require its removal. The presence of asbestos is not to be taken lightly and should be removed by professionals immediately.

• Asbestos was once a widely used substance. Because asbestos was so widely used, if your property was built prior to the 80s, it is very likely that asbestos was used. While newer buildings are less at risk of having asbestos, extra care should be taken with older buildings.
