"The guys from Central Valley Environmental did a great job removing our popcorn ceilings with asbestos. Mike was great through the preliminary stages and walked us through everything we needed to do before they got started. He answered all of my millions of questions and got us scheduled and set up even faster than expected. After a little miscommunication about light fixture removal/reinstallation Mike helped to take care of us and get it taken care of. Thank you guys for the great work. Hoping the rest of our renovations go this smooth."

"These guys are great. They came early, and they stayed late and finished the project early. They worked around my husbands and mine disabilities and always put our wishes and needs first. Not only did they refinished my 33 year old cupboards, they put in a new vanity, mirror, and all hardware in my front bath. Then when putting in the patio doggie door,, a lock had to be refashioned, and an excellent job was done. The clean up was excellent. All this, and a reasonable price. I will be using this company again and again."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

if you install new siding on top of old asbestos siding, you may keep the fibers trapped, but it would not necessarily be considered encapsulation. To do so properly requires a professional, who uses a certain type of sealant that needs to be spread over the asbestos in a number of layers in order to trap all the fibers. Although you may be able to buy this sealant yourself, it is highly advised that, once you find asbestos, you call a pro immediately. 

Typical methods for asbestos removal include encapsulation, enclosure, and complete removal.

Asbestos siding can be dangerous, but it doesn't necessarily pose a health risk if it's in good condition and left undisturbed. The danger comes from inhaling asbestos fibers, which can be released if the siding is damaged, deteriorating, crumbling, or disturbed during remodeling or repairs. Exposure to these airborne fibers can cause serious, life-threatening diseases like asbestosis (lung scarring), mesothelioma (an aggressive cancer), and other lung cancers.

If your asbestos siding is intact, the general recommendation is to leave it alone. However, if it's damaged or you plan to renovate, it's crucial to handle it safely. Due to the significant health risks and the difficulty of containing the fibers, it is not recommended to perform any asbestos work yourself. Instead, you should hire a professional asbestos removal company to inspect, repair, encapsulate, or remove the material. The presence of asbestos can also negatively impact your property's value.

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.

Yes, professionals are trained to conduct safe renovations post-asbestos removal, ensuring comprehensive safety and compliance with regulatory standards. They provide reconstruction and restoration services to restore the integrity and appearance of affected areas.
