Asbestos Removal

The History Behind Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used in building materials in the past due to its durability and fire-resistant properties. However, it was later discovered that prolonged exposure to asbestos can lead to serious health problems, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Many homes built before the 1980s contain asbestos in materials such as insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and siding. While asbestos-containing materials that are in good condition and left undisturbed are generally not a health hazard, when they are disturbed or damaged, asbestos fibers can be released into the air and inhaled.

Asbestos in Homes and Businesses

If you suspect that your home may have asbestos exposure, it is important to have it tested by a professional. A certified asbestos abatement contractor like the QwikResponse team can safely remove asbestos-containing materials from your home to minimize the risk of exposure.

If you are planning a renovation or demolition project in a home that may contain asbestos, it is important to take precautions to prevent the release of asbestos fibers. Our team of technicians can remove the materials and take steps to seal off the area all while using protective equipment during the project.

Did you know? It is important to note that the use of asbestos in building materials has been banned in many countries, including the United States. However, it is still legal to use asbestos in some products in certain industries, so it is important to be aware of potential exposure risks and take necessary precautions.
