"Edge Environmental had been purchased and is now The Majors Group. Sharon was very knowledgeable and informed me that all testing is done by one company in Denver, and that I could get the testing done for $40 by taking it to the lab myself. Another company that contacted me wanted to Charge $400 for the same test by the same lab. The Majors Group won my trust with that disclosure. The staff who came and removed the asbestos were on time, thorough and cleaned up the work space. The price was significantly less than then next higher bid. I feel that I received a great value for the money."

Asbestos is a hazardous material that poses serious health risks when its fibers become airborne and are inhaled. Exposure to asbestos can lead to severe respiratory diseases, including lung cancer and mesothelioma. For these reasons, it is essential to remove asbestos safely and in compliance with regulations to protect the health of occupants and ensure the property meets safety standards.

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

The legality of covering asbestos tile with new flooring can vary by location. In some cities, it is not legal to cover asbestos tile due to the risk of causing fibers to become airborne. While a professional method called encapsulation can seal the asbestos in place, it is not always an appropriate solution. In other areas, covering the tile is a legal and reasonable option to prevent fibers from spreading and reduce health hazards. However, the best long-term solution is to have the asbestos professionally and completely removed from your home.

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.

In the 1980s, the use of asbestos in house siding materials underwent a significant decline, ultimately being phased out by the mid-1980s to early 1990s. This change was largely due to a growing awareness of the severe health risks associated with asbestos exposure, particularly its link to lung diseases and cancers. With increased public concern and regulatory agency involvement, building codes and regulations were updated to restrict the use of asbestos in construction materials. 

If the tiles are undamaged and in good condition, painting can be a safe method of encapsulating them, but it is important first to evaluate the state of the tiles before proceeding. If the tiles are deteriorating, damaged, or already loose, simply painting over them fails to address the underlying issues that can cause asbestos exposure. It is recommended to consult asbestos abatement experts in such situations to identify the best way to safely manage or remove the asbestos-containing materials. During the painting process, it is crucial to adhere to safety regulations and guidelines to reduce the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure.

Regulations require certified professionals for removals and disposal in compliance with local and federal guidelines, ensuring safety and legality.
