Asbestos Building Inspection and Project Design Services, and AIR MONITOR/Air Clearance Technician/Phase Contrast Microscopy: NIOSH-582 Technician who provides "Independent 3rd Party Verification" as required by law for Asbestos Abatement Projects. I "conduct third pary "check and balance" verification that asbestos abatement area is "safe" for re-occupancy. This is a requirement , by law, if room or area is to be reoccupied after abatement--as opposed to being hauled off to dump. Certain laws require that a certified Asbestos Building Inspector, survey, sample and identify asbestos containing materials BEFORE a demolition or renovation project begins and obviously BEFORE workers or occupants get exposed to ASBESTOS DUST. Get me involved in the process BEFORE the hammers fly and my services will protect occupants from exposure to asbestos dust. PRE-DEMOLITION ASBESTOS SURVEYS: I identify what materials contain asbestos. I can then guide you regarding regulations and liabilities. Knowledge is power: if we can identify materials before they are disturbed, then we have the option to adjust plans to avoid disturbance ( i.e. "encapsulate" versus "abate"--going over the top of "hot" vinyl flooring with one more course of thin underlayment, e.g.). AT ALL TIMES: it is far better to KNOW if your sheetrock, vinyl flooring, wall paper, floor tile or carpet adhesive and rubber backing has asbestos in it, than to create an exposure event, get "caught" at the dump and then have to pay for an emergency clean up. DEQ Enforcement fines can be substantial--$8,000 to $25,000 fines are very recent numbers for residential projects, which involved very small amounts of material, but were mishandled. I sample for asbestos and can provide you information that can then be used in DUE DILIGENCE efforts, or can be useful in PROJECT SCOPE DETERMINATION. PROTECT your family, protect your Contractor, protect their families, too. Abide by regulations and avoid liability issues which can linger for three decades after-the-fact. FIND OUT BEFORE YOU HAVE TO ; "Check it before you Wreck it". I perform AIR SAMPLING and PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY SERVICES, " NIOSH-582" I have over 24 years as a Remodeling Contractor which translates into an extremely effective surveyor who doesn't miss anything.

Asbestos Removal questions, answered by experts

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

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. 

While asbestos can’t be directly absorbed through the skin—the fibers are too big—skin contact can still produce symptoms. Contact dermatitis can flare up in sensitive individuals but in most cases, the danger from asbestos comes from inhaling the fibers, or dust, that is produced when asbestos is disturbed. If you touch asbestos by accident, immediately wash yourself and your clothes.

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.

If you think you’ve touched asbestos, do not put on a mask. This is important because you may take the asbestos fibers on your hands on trap them in the mask. Make your way to a sink and wash your hands thoroughly. Remove any clothes and seal them in a bag, then take a shower. Call your doctor and let them know you’ve been exposed to asbestos, and make sure you see them as soon as possible. The reason you keep the clothes is in case anyone wants to confirm the presence of asbestos.
