Dependable asbestos removal – how we do it.
We take pride in our work; we’ll leave your home or business better than it was when we arrived, and we’ll make sure your property is safer and healthier for your family, team or customers. We work painstakingly to remove every last trace of asbestos fibres at risk of being disturbed. And we clean up afterwards so you’re not left with a mess.
We stick strictly to all Worksafe Victoria regulations to make sure we complete your asbestos removal safely and effectively. We begin by formulating an asbestos removal control plan, which includes information about how much asbestos there is and the steps necessary to remove it. During the removal, we use plastic seals, ventilators and air filters to make sure no asbestos escapes the designated area.
Do you have asbestos?
You may not even know. Asbestos is a hidden danger. No matter what type of remodelling or demolition project you’re undertaking, there’s a possibility you’re dealing with asbestos. Once considered safe, it’s been used in building and manufacturing applications over many decades up to the 1980s and often remains as a hidden threat. Asbestos lurks in many items, including:
- vinyl floor tiles
- fencing
- roofing
- paint
- insulation
- furnaces
- fire retardant materials
- adhesives
What is asbestos? Why do you even need asbestos removal?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that humans have been using for hundreds of thousands of years. In early years, it was used to make candle wicks, paper, tablecloths, clothing and even toothpaste. While the health risks associated with this toxic mineral were known as early as the 1930s, it wasn’t until 2003 that Australia banned asbestos-containing products.
For years, asbestos was used as a building material because of its high resistance to fire. And when asbestos remains undisturbed, it generally causes no problems. However, if you’re attempting a remodelling or demolition project, the work will disturb the asbestos. When asbestos fibres become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause a variety of problems, including lung cancer.
