Our knowledge and experience can make your property asbestos-free.
You likely already know a bit about asbestos. It is fairly common knowledge that asbestos can cause health issues and used to be a common building material. But what do you do if you have asbestos in your home or suspect it is a possibility? Here at Remtech Environmental, we are here to help your home or business with any asbestos-related problems.
On its own, asbestos is not necessarily harmful. Problems arise if the asbestos is directly disturbed, including by its natural degradation and deterioration over time. This deterioration releases the airborne fibers known to potentially cause cancerous diseases on inhalation. Having your home or business evaluated for the presence of asbestos, especially if it was built before 1980, is a great way to prevent any accidental exposure.
There are plenty of materials in a home or business that could contain asbestos. Popcorn ceilings, insulation wrappings, flooring, drywall, and more can all contain asbestos, so it’s important to test plenty of different surfaces. Any materials that are found to have dangerous levels of asbestos should be removed by trained and accredited professionals like those on our team to ensure complete and safe removal.
If you suspect asbestos in your Greensboro, North Carolina property, don’t wait.

Wasn’t asbestos banned in 1989?
1989 was the year that the EPA issued a final rule banning most asbestos-containing products in the United States. However, the rule was vacated in 1991, and most of the original ban on asbestos-containing materials was overturned. The production and use of asbestos has significantly decreased over the years, however, so you are much less likely to have asbestos in your home if it was built after 1985.
