Q: What do you do after asbestos contamination?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on an asbestos roof?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Is asbestos siding dangerous?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-asbestos-siding-dangerous.htm">Asbestos siding can be dangerous</a> if disturbed because the material itself poses a health risk. Asbestos is one of the leading causes of lung cancer as it causes mesothelioma&mdash;an aggressive cancer. Asbestos can also cause irreversible damage to your lungs by creating a buildup of scar tissue, called asbestosis. It has a habit of making its way through even robust personal protective equipment (PPE), which is why it&rsquo;s not recommended that you perform any asbestos work yourself. </p></div>

Q: Can you epoxy over asbestos tile?

• <div><p>Epoxying over asbestos tiles is generally considered a safe option when done correctly. Epoxy acts as a sealant, encapsulating the asbestos tiles and preventing the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The key is ensuring that the asbestos tiles are in good condition, firmly adhered to the substrate, and not damaged or deteriorating. This method is only appropriate for tiles that are undamaged and securely in place. If the asbestos tiles are already loose, damaged, or deteriorating, encapsulating them with epoxy may not be a sufficient solution, as it might not address the potential for ongoing asbestos exposure.</p></div>

Dave quoted me about $800 for tree and stump removal and I told him to go ahead. I got the bill and it was $1400 and we haven't even done the stump removal yet because I said we could get it later. So once I pay to have the stump removed I will have spent probably twice as much as was quoted. ...

They are very reliable, always do good work. If the lawn doesn’t need mowing they are just fine with not charging us for that week. They remove snow for us as well. If we call them they will come out right away. They have great customer service.
