Concerned about asbestos exposure?
You can’t see or smell asbestos, which makes it a very sneaky health concern.
Inhaling airborne asbestos fibers can cause cancerous diseases, and symptoms of poisoning don’t show themselves until 20 to 30 years after asbestos exposure.
If you know or suspect that asbestos is on your property, you need to call the experts. Remtech is licensed, insured, and experienced to safely remove asbestos from residential, commercial, and industrial properties.

What is Asbestos?
1. POPCORN CEILINGS
2. FLOOR TILES
3. DRYWALL
4. SIDING
5. PIPE WRAP
6. VINYL FLOORING (OR LINOLEUM)
7. ROOF SHINGLES
8. CEILING TILES
Remember, it’s not possible for you to tell whether a material in your home contains asbestos simply by looking at it, you need to get an expert involved.
POPCORN CEILING:
Despite serious asbestos-related health concerns, spray-on products like popcorn ceiling were used heavily up until they became banned by The Clean Air Act in 1978.
But even some homes built in the 1980s can contain asbestos popcorn ceiling because the Act allowed businesses to use up their existing inventory of products.
Popcorn ceiling is friable, which means you can easily damage it — and even just grazing friable asbestos with your hand can release toxic asbestos dust and dangerously increase levels of asbestos exposure.
This is especially important to know if you’re thinking about popcorn ceiling removal as a DIY project when renovating your home.

WHY YOU REALLY CAN’T JUST PAINT OVER ASBESTOS…
If any of the building materials listed above are frayed or falling apart in your home, or you’re thinking about a renovation that could disturb any of those materials, be careful.
The Environmental Protection Agency recommends that you have licensed and accredited asbestos contractors like us help test these materials before you do anything else.
When you’re in the middle of an exciting renovation project for your home, the last thing you might want to do is asbestos removal — it’s tempting to just paint over and pretend it’s not there.
Paint and sealants that can be purchased at hardware stores or online might delay the threat of asbestos, but it certainly does not remove it from your home. If at any point in the future you cut or drill the painted area you will expose your entire home to toxic asbestos fibers.
