Asbestos & Remodelling Your Old Home
Imagine if you are conducting renovations on your home and find a suspected area for asbestos. How can you continue with your plans if there is deadly fibre in the air? One that can affect the health of your family and yourself? This is where we want to help so we have provided you with some tips on asbestos and remodelling your home (and if you need asbestos removal to continue with your renovation plans safely).
If it is too old.
There are always parts of a home that are “old”, whether it is through the colour, the deterioration or the wear and tear of the home. Many of these “old” sections of the home might be infected with asbestos. So if you find a section of your house that looks too old for comfort, be prepared for the prospect of asbestos.
Get away and don’t get involved.
Notice something weird in the your home? Do you see shards of sharp looking fibres, coloured blue, white or brown in your home? If you for the moment suspect that an area in your home could be infected with asbestos, back away. There is no need to attempt to remove the section yourself because: a) you might actually cause more damage; and b) you might risk your health. There is no point risking your health to remove a section of your home.
Get the professionals involved.
It is recommended that before you commence any remodelling, rebuilding or demolishing, that you get the professionals involved. The reason is simple: they have the experience, the firsthand knowledge and the skills to locate and eliminate asbestos in your home. Many professional asbestos removalists offer a complete asbestos removal service, which includes asbestos inspection (finding the areas in your home that might have the fibre embedded), asbestos testing (where they test the infected areas to confirm the fibre’s existence) and asbestos removal (the elimination of the fibre). Some professionals are so good, that they can locate it immediately and just provide you with an asbestos removal job. Get the pros involved as soon as possible to make the rest of the process easy for you.
