Asbestos Insulation Removal

Many buildings contain asbestos, which was often used in fire retardant that was spray-applied, as well as thermal system insulation and a variety of other materials and products. It was also occasionally “flocked” above false ceilings and in residential ceilings such as “popcorn ceilings” or “cottage cheese ceilings” until its production was banned and supplies used up in the mid 1980′s.

Often asbestos may not pose a risk to most inhabitants or users of a building if the fibers cannot become dislodged or inhaled. However some methods used in the past to apply asbestos (particularly flocking) allow asbestos fibers to gradually drop off into the air. This can pose a hazard to maintenance people who drill holes into walls for installation of cables and/or pipes, as asbestos has been proven to be highly carcinogenic.
