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.

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: Are there grants for asbestos removal?

• <div><p>Federal and state <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asbestos-removal-grants.htm">grants for asbestos testing and removal</a> do exist and can help homeowners with the associated costs.

Q: Will homeowners’ insurance cover the removal of asbestos siding?

• <div><p>Homeowners&rsquo; insurance doesn&rsquo;t often cover the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/asbestos-siding-removal-cost.htm">cost to remove asbestos siding</a>, which averages about $2,900. Insurance policies treat the removal of asbestos siding as regular home maintenance, which insurance doesn&rsquo;t cover. If your siding suffers damage in a storm, though, it&rsquo;s possible the insurer may cover the replacement cost, even if the damaged siding contains asbestos.</p></div>

Q: Can you encapsulate asbestos siding?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

We had three large trees removed. They took the wood and ground the stumps, they cleaned up and it was like they had never been there outside of the piles of sawdust from the stumps. Our job was delayed because emergency jobs take priority, but well worth the wait.
