"Note: it is hard for me to determine value for money as I was charged for a full day of asbestos removal because that was their minimum and I only had a teeny tiny bit (but hey, donâ t mess with asbestos!). The guys were there for an hour and did extra work which was kindly included in the day rate (removing some old batt and a couple of pieces of dry wall). They were very courteous and very neat, they cleaned up after the work and I was very pleased. I recommend!"

"Gabriel was super responsive and friendly. He was very accommodating with our schedules to coordinate the testing and it all worked out well. Our house is very old and we were concerned that certain modifications that were done over the years fell into the era of asbestos being a common building material so we wanted to have the area tested before ripping a closet out. Gabriel called me as soon as the test results came back to let me know what the deal was (and then obviously sent over the official reports as well). I'd definitely recommend him without reservation."

"The relationship between the office you reach by phone and the actual contractors who show up to do the work is a bit confusing and I’m still not sure I understand it but in the end, when the crew shows up and gets to work, the work gets done. It’s done neatly and efficiently and the clean-up was very good. Money-wise, they’re a real bargain and an asbestos project that I think most people would reject out of hand as unaffordable becomes affordable."

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

According to the National Cancer Institute, asbestos-related diseases can take anywhere from 10 to 40 years for symptoms to appear. The health risks increase with prolonged and heavier exposure. Risk factors also include:

  • Amount of exposure

  • Chemical makeup, size, and shape of the asbestos fibers

  • Length of time a person is exposed to asbestos

  • Genetic factors 

  • Source of exposure (direct exposure or secondhand exposure from someone directly exposed)

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.

Abatement focuses on immediate hazard control while remediation encompasses a comprehensive cleanup and long-term safety strategy. Abatement refers specifically to reducing or eliminating the immediate hazard by removing or encapsulating it. It’s a targeted approach aimed solely at controlling asbestos risks. Remediation is a broader term that involves the entire process of addressing contamination to restore a safe environment. Remediation can include abatement, decontamination, air quality testing, and post-cleanup monitoring.

Asbestos has many beneficial properties, including fire resistance, strength, and chemical resistance. It is also an excellent insulator, which is why it was used in pipe insulation and other building materials for decades. For all its benefits, asbestos is dangerous for human health, which is why it was eventually banned from use in certain products.

Currently, there is no federal licensing mandate for asbestos removal contractors. However, certain cities and states require certification and specialized training. For example, in New York, those handling asbestos must receive an Asbestos Handler Certification. The mandates dictating the necessary training or certifications vary based on state and local laws.
