Asbestos Risk
Many homeowners are aware of asbestos and its dangerous effects if left untouched. But what is asbestos really? In its most basic form, asbestos is the build-up of mineral fibres, the same fibres that are found in rock formations. Many times it is difficult to identify asbestos because it can easily be mixed with other substances. That is why it is of the utmost importance to utilize the professional services of an asbestos abatement company.
Unlike many other asbestos removal companies, Central Valley Environmental staff care about ensuring that your home is a safe environment for you and your family to live in. CVE employees cannot only help you with asbestos removal, but also lead abatement, demolition, deconstruction, and other environmental services.
What Are the Risks of Living in a Home with Asbestos?
In the early 1900s, doctors began realizing the true dangers of asbestos, linking it directly to adverse health effects. If you or a loved one notices asbestos, it is necessary to act immediately. One of the most common effects of living in an environment with asbestos is that certain fibres are known to scar the lungs to make breathing difficult, often resulting in cancer.
Where are the Most Common Places to Find Asbestos?
Asbestos can be found anywhere, most commonly on:
- Siding material
- Plaster
- Fiber cement
- HVAC insulation
- Linoleum
- Vinyl floor tiles
- Some forms of paint
Professionals from Central Valley Environment will inspect each and every corner of your home to make sure that you are protected and to prevent any unnoticed asbestos from growing.
What are the Different Asbestos Abatement Methods?
Generally, the most typical asbestos abatement methods include removal, repair, enclosure, and encapsulation. While getting rid of asbestos is important, some of these methods do not remove it right away and instead use their own unique processes for ensuring that, in the end, all of the asbestos in your home will be eliminated.
