"Excellent customer service, did a great job. However, paid on the job site and 5 months later have not provided documentation of asbestos abatement/air quality assessment information. Called once to request but no one got back to me."

"I knew removing the popcorn ceiling with asbestos would be expensive given all the hazardous material fees, HEPA filtration, protective gear the workers wear, and plastic sheeting to cover the walls and floor. They were right at the same price point as their competitors. The Head Guy Nate was extremely helpful on the phone giving me very down to earth advice and being completely no pressure. I appreciated how quickly they worked me into the schedule and that they even came out on a Saturday to finish the job since this is their busy season. The workers that came to the house were very knowledgeable with regards to all my detailed questions. They were courteous and very speedy Saturday getting the job done after they had prepped the room on Friday. I will be hiring them to come do the other room in our basement in a few months. I highly recommend that anyone looking for asbestos abatement use these guys."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

Walking on an asbestos roof can pose a risk. Asbestos roofing materials can become brittle over time, increasing the chances of them breaking or releasing fibers when stepped on. Additionally, walking on an asbestos roof without proper precautions can cause further damage to the material. If possible, avoid touching an asbestos roof in any way and consult with a professional about removing and replacing the roof. 

It is possible to repair an asbestos roof if the damage is minor. However, it is crucial to follow proper safety procedures and regulations while doing so. It’s always recommended to hire a professional asbestos roofing contractor who specializes in asbestos roof repairs to ensure the work is done safely and correctly.

Asbestos encapsulation is an alternative to asbestos abatement or removal. Suppose you have hired an asbestos testing service and they recommend encapsulation. In that case, they will cover the asbestos with a protective barrier or put it in a sealed enclosure so the fibers cannot escape. Encapsulation usually costs between $2 and $6 per square foot.

Asbestos is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer. Inhaling asbestos fibers is linked to several respiratory issues, including asbestosis, or scarring on the lungs, lung cancer, and mesothelioma, another type of cancer. There's also a link between asbestos exposure and an increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers of the digestive system.

Usually, the people most at risk for disease related to asbestos exposure are those who spend a lot of time working around the material without protection. Electricians who work with asbestos wire have a higher risk of developing mesothelioma or lung cancer due to their exposure.

While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it’s a specifically designed product for this purpose—not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren’t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.
