Certain insulation or tiling materials are full of asbestos and are fine to be left as is, in place and undisturbed. Asbestos removal is important and becomes necessary when these materials are distressed, as they release dangerous asbestos particles into the air in residential and commercial buildings, and won’t stop being a hazard until they receive asbestos abatement treatments.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that forms long thin fibers. Chrysotile is the most commonly used type of asbestos and accounts for approximately 95% of the asbestos found in buildings in the United States. Our asbestos inspectors will come to your house to take samples and bring them to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
Omega specializes in providing assistance in the identification and remediation of asbestos-containing materials. We are available to provide skilled, highly-trained, licensed and insured asbestos abatement personnel to perform the required inspection of facilities prior to renovation or demolition and the subsequent remediation of those materials discovered.
When the fibers are disturbed and released into the air, asbestos becomes hazardous. You may experience asbestos exposure during a structure demolition, renovation project or when a building is severely aged. When the released fibers are breathed in, they enter the lungs and can accumulate. As a result, you’ll be highly susceptible to breathing and health problems.
For your own estimate, give us a call. We’ll schedule an appointment as soon as possible to get your home back to its perfect condition.
The first step in the abatement process is to set up a regulated work area. Sealing air ducts, disabling HVAC systems, and setting up negative pressure equipment are a few of the steps abatement technicians take to prevent the spread of asbestos. After a regulated and enclosed work area is established around the surfaces or areas being abated, technicians wearing abatement suits and using personal air monitoring equipment will utilize hand tools to remove asbestos-containing material.
The asbestos material is then placed into asbestos disposal waste bags, sealed, taken out through a waste decontamination unit, and stored in a specially labeled trailer or dumpster designed with a protective poly lining. After all asbestos materials are removed from your home, all abated surfaces and areas are wet wiped and vacuumed with a special HEPA vacuum. After multiple HEPA cleanings, air and surface samples will be performed to verify the successful removal of asbestos and give you clearance to return to your home.
