Asbestos is a dangerous mineral(s) that can cause several health conditions such as lung cancer or mesothelioma.
Asbestos minerals include:
Chrysotile
Amosite
Crocidolite
Anthophyllite
Tremolite
Actinolite
Minerals are found in roofs, ceilings, drywall, vinyl flooring and windows, cement sheets, and pipes.
Due to the hazards and challenges asbestos can cause, I ADVISE YOU DO NOT TRY TO HANDLE IT ON YOUR OWN.
Call a professional like ACD Asbestos Pro to turn a harmful mineral to a safe environment for everyone. I guarantee “IF THERE IS ASBESTOS, I WILL FIND IT.”
The process involves:
Project Management/Building Inspector – identifying hazards within a structure to meet requirements
Surveying – sample and laboratory analysis to identify what is involved with your current asbestos situation
Abatement – safely removing the asbestos
