Dallas Asbestos Removal

The removal of asbestos is tricky! Asbestos starts out as a rock-like mineral, but when used in construction materials or paints, it begins to shed a very fine dust. It is odorless and the dust it forms cannot be perceived simply by looking. Since asbestos doesn’t leave obvious markers to indicate its presence, proper testing is important. If asbestos is identified, then safely and quickly removing it is critical. This process should always be handled by professionals as the removal of the asbestos can create more of the dust that is linked to health hazards.

    Why you need to Removal Asbestos From Your Home

    Asbestos fibers, when disturbed, can become airborne and inhaled. Prolonged exposure to these fibers has been linked to serious health conditions, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Removing asbestos reduces the risk of these life-threatening illnesses for you and your loved ones.
    Homes containing asbestos can experience reduced resale value and marketability. Potential buyers often seek asbestos-free properties due to the associated health concerns and potential liability.
    If you plan to renovate or perform maintenance on your home, disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air. Proper removal beforehand ensures the safety of both you and any contractors working on your property.
    In Texas, there are strict regulations governing the removal and disposal of asbestos. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to legal issues and fines.
    Asbestos-containing materials can degrade over time, releasing fibers into the environment even without direct disturbance. Removal prevents this ongoing release, safeguarding your indoor air quality.
    Asbestos removal contributes to a healthier environment. Proper disposal prevents asbestos fibers from entering the air, soil, or waterways.
