Commonly Asked Questions
-
Can I Remove Asbestos Myself?
It is generally not recommended to attempt asbestos removal as a do-it-yourself project. Disturbing or mishandling asbestos can release dangerous fibers into the air, increasing the risk of exposure. Asbestos abatement should be done by licensed and trained professionals who have the necessary expertise, equipment, and safety measures.
-
What Should I Do if I Suspect Asbestos in My Building?If you suspect the presence of asbestos in your building, do not panic. Do not attempt to find its specific source -- there is no danger unless the fibers are released into the air and inhaled into the lungs. The best thing to do is leave the material containing asbestos alone if it is in good condition. If there is slightly damaged material that contains asbestos, limit access to that area, and do not touch or disturb it. Contact Abatement Services right away to schedule an inspection. Our professionals can perform testing if necessary, and advise you on the appropriate steps to take to manage or remove the asbestos safely.
-
How Long Does Asbestos Abatement Take?
The duration of asbestos abatement depends on various factors, such as the size of the property, the amount of asbestos present, and the complexity of the project. A small residential project might take a few days, while larger commercial or industrial projects can take several weeks or more.
-
How Do I Know if I Have Asbestos in My Building?
Asbestos is commonly found in older buildings. Below are some common signs that your home or office may have asbestos:
- The building was built before 1980
- Walls or parts of the building were built using cement sheets
- The property contains vermiculite insulation
- Vinyl flooring or millboard was installed between 1952 and 1982
- The building has corrugated roofing
- An old cement water tank is being used in the building
Asbestos may look like fluffy fibers; they may come in different colors, such as white, green, blue, or brown. However, visual inspection alone cannot confirm the presence of asbestos. If you believe there is asbestos in your home, do not try to find it; asbestos is especially dangerous when disturbed. Only an accredited asbestos inspector can conduct an asbestos survey or inspection to identify and assess the condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) properly.

What Is Asbestos Abatement?
Asbestos abatement refers to the process of identifying, containing, removing, and disposing of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in a safe and controlled manner. It aims to minimize the risk of asbestos exposure and ensure a safe environment.
Below is what asbestos abatement generally entails:
- Inspection - determines the presence of asbestos and the level of hazard
- Demarcation - marking off of hazardous areas in the property
- Setting up work area - ensures asbestos will not be spread throughout the building further
- Removing or repair of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)
- High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuuming - minimizes the spread of asbestos fibers
- Final cleaning - after all ACM has been removed or repaired, all surfaces will be cleaned thoroughly
- Post-cleanup - when the building is up to code and the barriers marking off the work areas are removed. The area is cleaned once again.
