Q: What is the process of abatement for asbestos?

• <div><p>Performing abatement for asbestos means the contractor removes or encapsulates the asbestos to protect your family&rsquo;s health. The term abatement refers to the steps required to keep asbestos fibers from moving into the air. Understanding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-asbestos-abatement.htm">what asbestos abatement is</a> can help you discuss the case with your contractors by understanding the jargon they use. </p></div>

Q: Do all gravity furnaces have asbestos?

• <div><p>No, but it&rsquo;s common that they do. Gravity furnaces weren&rsquo;t terribly efficient so wrapping either the ductwork in asbestos, the furnace itself, or both, was something done regularly. This allowed the system to retain more heat. At the time, this greatly enhanced the efficiency of the furnaces but it wasn&rsquo;t until later that we became aware of just how carcinogenic and dangerous asbestos could be.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to cover an asbestos popcorn ceiling?

• <div><p>Some pros may recommend covering a popcorn ceiling that tests positive for asbestos with beadboard ceiling planks or drywall. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-install-beadboard-over-popcorn-ceiling.htm">cost to install a beadboard ceiling</a> averages more than $5,000, but you likely will pay more than the average for the installer to deal with the asbestos safely. Installing a beadboard ceiling or new drywall will disturb the asbestos and release some microscopic fibers, so the installer will need to take precautions. </p></div>

Q: Can you paint over asbestos tile?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the method of sealing off asbestos?

• <div><p>To seal off, or encapsulate, asbestos-containing materials in your home, you&rsquo;ll need to utilize a sealant specifically designed for asbestos encapsulation. These sealants bind with asbestos fibers to keep them from spreading throughout the air and causing bodily harm. In many cases, these sealants can be simply painted on, but you&rsquo;ll need to wear a protective body suit as well as an asbestos-rated respirator to interact with these materials safely.</p></div>

"Awesomeness - Dilante Moore and his friendly crew arrived on time and immediately started the abatement process steps to remove several square feet of 9x9 asbestos gray color tiles in the basement of my daughters recently purchased home that was built in the year 1946 (The tiles were hidden under carpet and was not disclosed before the house was purchased). The job entailed complete removal of all asbestos tiles and black mastic adhesive. Five hours elapsed and 'No more tiles' :) All concrete surface revealed and the air quality check by the lab came back negative - all Clear. Afterwards, Dilante and his crew cleaned the area of all debris and even dust on surfaces prior to the abatement process. Dilante was kind to check a few other areas of the house such as the attic and kitchen vinyl flooring, which the latter might contain asbestos fibers. Another test will determine whether Dilante returns for another round of asbestos mitigation. Much appreciated team Perfectos."
