4 Considerations for Asbestos Abatement in California
Asbestos is exceptionally dangerous when present in the family home, and it’s imperative that you have a clear understanding on the process of asbestos removal in California homes and commercial property. During the removal, there are many elements to consider. In this post, we’ll highlight 4 considerations for asbestos abatement in California homes and commercial properties.
Health Hazards
The first and most important consideration in analyzing the challenges of asbestos in your home is the health hazards the material causes. Asbestos is linked with lung cancer and mesothelioma after long-term exposure, and so it’s imperative that if you suspect you have asbestos in your California home, you begin the removal process at the earliest possible time.
Potential Costs
Rather than considering the cost to remove the asbestos from your property, it’s most important you consider the potential cost of having the material within your home. For example, visitors or long-term residents within the home have a legal right to claim damages if they have become ill as a result of the asbestos exposure. This may cost you quite a bit if you haven’t been able to prove you took immediate steps to remove the asbestos from the home upon discovery.
Abatement vs. Full Removal
When considering your full removal needs you might first look into the abatement of asbestos within your home. The abatement process can include leaving the asbestos in place but mitigating the potential damage the material can cause within the home. Abatement experts might seal the area of asbestos exposure so that it is separated from the rest of the home. The issue with abatement, is that it sometimes leaves the asbestos in place, which might mean that the material needs to be removed at a later date. Full removal will ensure the problem is resolved for the long-term, and will help to prevent the health risks that asbestos can cause over many years.
Choosing Removal Companies
The California asbestos removal company you choose should be a trusted expert with decades of experience in asbestos removal. They should be able to prove their expertise over time and to show that they have completed effective work with past clients. Make sure the contractor you choose is insured, to protect you against liability claims and ensure that they provide you with a written contract prior to the work taking place.
