Asbestos comprises of millions of microscopic fibers that create an excellent barrier to flames and high heat situations. It was considered the best possible product to fireproof residential homes and was used extensively in building materials. Asbestos was a benchmark and widely accepted building material, used in almost every part of the home or commercial building.
When older properties go through renovation, asbestos is commonly found in areas that have been untouched or not usually updated for visual or structural reasons. An airborne test for asbestos that comes back positive means that there could be remaining material from older installations or even the original build in typical areas such as:
Hazardous material found in these areas will significantly reduce air quality inside the property and will most likely create severe health problems for those exposed to asbestos dust. GTA property owners who suspect or detect asbestos should immediately hire experts to test for and perform asbestos removal in Oakville, Toronto, Mississauga and surrounding areas, to correct any toxic air quality issues and reverse any potential health and safety hazards within the property.
Asbestos is a highly toxic and hazardous material. Certified and experienced experts understand the historical ways asbestos was used and can test for the material with the latest and most accurate testing and diagnostic equipment.
In its day, asbestos and asbestos based material was the go to choice for builders and developers as the material was low cost, plentiful and had enhanced fireproofing properties. The long-term effects on humans makes asbestos use too risky, and the material has been banned from cities for many decades. Local homes or business spaces that are found to still have asbestos material must perform asbestos removal in Toronto immediately.
Asbestos dust and minute material can easily and continuously be consumed by humans inside the building and will cause severe health effects and problems that could be lethal. Substances that are banned may become a legal responsibility adding to the critical nature of asbestos removal.
If you suspect you have asbestos in your home, a professional inspection is necessary. Asbestos was processed into many forms during its use and cannot be visually detected. A certified and trained inspector will take samples of potential asbestos hotspots for detailed testing and analysis.
Areas that contain asbestos must be secured from the rest of the home as the removal process may spread microscopic asbestos fibers into the air. Proper sealing and venting of the area are critical for safe and thorough removal, and only trained professionals have the tools and methods to do the job safely and correctly. Demolition of the area must be executed so that materials are not broken down into smaller pieces as that could easily spread fibers into the air. All debris and material must be secured in sealed bags or containers to ensure the safe removal of the hazardous material.
A professional and experienced removal crew will have the latest processes, required safety equipment, and knowledge of all local regulations regarding handling asbestos material. Once cleared, areas are thoroughly cleaned with wet mops and HEPA-grade vacuums that can effectively trap any remaining dust and airborne particles.
