Inspection before removal is the key to success with removing asbestos from your property
Are you worried about your well-being before having the asbestos removed from your place? You should go for an asbestos testing by a professional asbestos removal firm before getting to the dirty bit. Testing for potentially harmful asbestos will ensure that all the necessary precautions are taken to protect and care for the safety as well as the health of the customer. You and your family come first!
Why inspection?
The inspection is a must followed by the removal, which comes later. The following are the steps that are generally taken to ensure the safety of the customer and family members.
- Identify the areas that need work.
- Complete airtight sealing of the area to minimise contamination into the adjoining spaces of the property.
- Installing air filter devices to ensure the complete removal of even the minutest asbestos fibre from the indoor air.
- Removal of the contaminant material with all the safety protocols intact; removal of the hazardous materials in leak-proof containers and safe disposal.
- Parts which the workers cannot remove are sealed to ensure complete safety of the property owners.
- Finally, a wipe down of all the surfaces to ensure complete removal of asbestos followed by lab tests to corroborate the results.
Only after an inspection, a company can assess the necessary protocols for your property. That ensures maximum safety while removing asbestos from your property and structures.
What objects are harmful?
The usual suspects are the vinyl sheet flooring, paint and ceilings. These not only contain asbestos but also lead which affects your, the family’s or if it’s the workplace, the employees’. Plan and hire a professional asbestos removal firm today. And don’t forget to get the inspection done.

Getting the team ready

You need to communicate with your team as well in case you have you have prior inspection results at hand. Inform the agency workers and the team about the areas that might potentially contain asbestos to aid the faster completion of the removal process. Inform them about the areas that you do not want to be disturbed. Get a quotation on paper and ask about the time frame for the completion of the process.
Asbestos removal is a difficult deconstruction procedure that requires a professional team. However, you must ensure you are doing your bit as well.
