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

It is strongly advised not to touch or disturb asbestos-containing materials unless necessary. Asbestos fibers can be released into the air when the material is damaged or disturbed, posing serious health risks if inhaled. It is best to leave any handling of asbestos to trained professionals who can remove the asbestos safely.

Most manufacturers stopped putting asbestos in linoleum before 1980 due to public concerns about its toxicity. However, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) didn’t ban asbestos-containing products until 1989, and a comprehensive ban was not announced until 2024. This means that homes built after 1989 may still have asbestos in their flooring.

While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it’s a specifically designed product for this purpose—not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren’t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.

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.

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.
