Asbestos Removal, Greensboro, NC

Asbestos removal can help keep your family safe.

You likely already know that asbestos was once popular in the construction of homes but is no longer as commonly used due to health concerns. Unfortunately, even though its use as a residential construction material has largely diminished, existing asbestos still poses a threat. You can’t see or smell asbestos, so testing is required to determine whether it’s present in your home. If you live in a house built before 1985, you may be at risk of asbestos exposure. Asbestos removal should be done as soon as possible if you suspect your home may contain the material.

Asbestos was used all over homes, including in ceilings, flooring, walls, siding, insulation, and more.

FAQs About Asbestos Removal

Hopefully, you have not had to deal with asbestos in your property before, but that also means you may not know what to expect from asbestos removal. Check out our frequently asked questions below to learn more about asbestos removal.

Hidden

Is asbestos removal always necessary?

The EPA recommends asbestos removal if the asbestos-containing materials have been disturbed in some way. For example, if your asbestos-containing popcorn ceiling is frayed or crumbling, you should call a professional right away for asbestos removal. Of course, you may not know whether your ceiling has asbestos or not, so you may need to have it inspected first, and you really only need to do so if the material has been disturbed, as previously mentioned, or if you are planning renovations that may disturb it.

How is the asbestos contained during the removal process?

To prepare for the asbestos removal process, we make sure to use plastic sheeting that will keep the contaminated area closed off from the rest of your home. We will also make sure the ventilation is shut off and the vents are blocked so that any fibers are not transported elsewhere. We also conduct all work within a negative-pressure enclosure using HEPA filtration devices to make sure asbestos fibers do not migrate to other areas outside the work area. Asbestos is promptly cleaned and placed in leak-tight sealed bags for disposal.

Can I stay in my home during asbestos removal?

We really do not recommend it. Some asbestos removal companies may allow homeowners to remain in their homes during the asbestos removal process because they set up measures to keep the contaminated area separate and the asbestos contained, but this is far from ideal. The best course of action is to vacate your home and stay with family, a friend, or find other accommodations until the removal process is complete.
