"I can only comment on our initial meeting. Tysan showed up on time and was courteous, respectful, and attentive. From our previous phone call, the objective was to evaluate the entrance gate and driveway. Like many homeowners, I think I walked the property and showed Mr. Westplans for mechanical rrooms bathroom additions , a huge roofing project, new proposed plumbing, 2 new fireplaces, and a 100 foot long shed on the other part of the property. So, while Tysan and South Mountain Industrial Services showed up to estimate a "whole bunch of apples," I rambled on for several hours about "a whole bunch of oranges." Tysan remained very patient and attentive and after the initial consultation, sent me a detailed proposal to start with a days work, maybe two of clearing huge boulders and the removal of dozens of trees and stumps. Personally, I have used a Bobcat and a backhoe, however, the work done recently on my property would have taken at least a week. Mr. West can thread the eye of a needle with this heavy equipment that is needed for my big project. Definitely, I want Mr. West involved with the future project regardless of the capacity. Tysan West is a General Contractor, and I look forward to the tentative GO that we agreed upon verbally to begin the permit, pad and metal bldg. at the end of May, beginning of June. Tysans punctuality, courteousness, and detailed estimates on Proposal is Professional at least, unlike most of the prima-donna Santa Fe contractors I have encountered the last 15 years, which is at best. By the way...that whole morning spent consulting and reviewing the work and somewhat layout, was with no pressure and with no charge."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

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.

Typically, homeowners insurance does not cover asbestos removal or abatement. Most policies exclude coverage for pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous materials, which includes asbestos. Because asbestos is often considered a pre-existing condition in older homes, its removal is usually viewed as a maintenance expense rather than an insurable loss. However, there is a key exception: if asbestos-containing materials are discovered or disturbed due to a covered event, such as a fire or storm, your policy may cover the abatement as part of the necessary repairs. For example, if a storm damages your roof and an insurance adjuster discovers asbestos while inspecting the damage, the policy might pay for the removal cost. If removal is not covered and is outside your budget, you might consider encapsulating the asbestos. The viability of this option depends on the condition of the contaminated materials. It is recommended to speak with an asbestos abatement specialist to understand your options.

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. 

Asbestos-containing materials are not easily affected by water and do not disintegrate or dissolve when exposed to it. However, porous materials can deteriorate due to water exposure, leading to the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The settling of asbestos fibers can also occur as water makes them heavy, which reduces the risk of airborne exposure, though future disturbance of the materials could cause risk. Wetting asbestos-containing materials does not constitute safe removal, and the proper handling and disposal of asbestos materials should be left to professionals.

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.
