"Mr. Renshaw was very professional. I had multiple places in my parents house that I was renovating where I was concerned about asbestos. Mr. Renshaw looked at all and gave his opinion of which ones should be tested. We had one positive that he came back and removed. Great work, finished in a 1/2 day what he though initially may take two days."

"I hired Sean and the team to remove asbestos in an older home. The work involved multiple rooms. I was impressed with the amount of preparation it took to contain the asbestos. I was also impressed with the long hours the team spent removing the asbestos-containing materials. The process was explained fully, all my questions were answered, and I am confident the house is ready for remodeling. The only downside: some paint was removed in the process of site preparation. I was told that might happen so I cant fault A1A."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

You are not really supposed to seal asbestos with paint, but in theory it could work—the caveat being that this is extremely dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. The only real way to seal asbestos is with the professional application of an encapsulating material like epoxy. Due to the negative effect asbestos can have on your home, however, it is usually the best course of action to accept a costly fix and remove the material entirely.

No, but it’s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren’t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn’t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

  • Amount of exposure

  • Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers

  • Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos

  • Genetic factors 

  • Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

Detailed cleaning, air quality testing, and proper disposal of hazardous materials.
