"If you binge watch home improvement shows on TV like I do, the word, "asbestos" can send you and your budget into a cold sweat! William and his team at Laroue Environmental, LLC did a great job thoroughly explaining the asbestos testing process to me as well as my options should the results come back positive. As a first time home owner myself, the process of renovating can be a bit stressful. Working with Laroue Environmental, LLC was anything BUT stressful. If you do sign up for their testing services, you're in good hands! Good luck on your next home renovation project and stay safe out there!"

"Mereson did clearance testing after asbestos flooring was removed. Geoffrey was helpful, friendly and worked with us to get our sample tested and our results back quickly. His services were also very competitive priced. Would definitely work with him again."

"Very professional from beginning to end of project. Received call back immediately after my inquiry with instructions on submitting a picture to receive the quote. Quote was sent quickly with detailed explanation of job. Customer service followed up with me to ensure I understood quote. The two gentlemen who completed the job were professional, efficient, courteous and went above and beyond to ensure that the asbestos removal was aligned to my upcoming furnace installation (i.e. called my furnace installer to ensure work was only being done in furnace room and not in attic). Highly recommend this company and would use again for other projects. Efficient, great customer service and professional."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

You can cover asbestos siding with another type of siding, such as vinyl, however, this may not be the best option. Covering the asbestos siding may disturb it, releasing fibers into the air. The covered siding can also be disturbed at a later date, such as by a new homeowner who is unaware of its presence.

If you decide to cover the siding, be sure to work with a professional and follow any local building codes and requirements. It may be the case that removing the asbestos siding is the better option, rather than covering it over. 

When asbestos damages the lungs it causes a condition called “asbestosis” which, unfortunately, can’t be cured once it’s damaged the lungs. This condition is chronic and any treatment is undertaken to improve quality of life. This usually involves quitting smoking, being prescribed oxygen, and undergoing lung rehab. Severe cases usually require a lung transplant.

In the event of suspected or confirmed asbestos contamination on the body, it is imperative to take immediate measures to reduce health risks. To avoid further exposure, carefully remove contaminated clothing and shower thoroughly to remove any asbestos fibers. Seek prompt medical attention, and inform your healthcare professional about your suspected asbestos exposure. Since asbestos-related health issues can take years to surface, regular medical check-ups are advised for anyone with a history of exposure.

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.

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.
