How Does a Company Remove Asbestos From your House or Apartment?

If you need to have asbestos removed from your home, there are certain steps any company you hire will take in order to do that.

These steps are simple enough to understand by any homeowner, but all should be taken by any reputable Asbestos Removal Sydney company. If they are not, you could discover in the future that your home is not as free of asbestos as you thought.

Taping off and separating the area -- If your entire home is contaminated with asbestos, it will be tented. This is done so that the removal can take place without contaminating anyone else in the neighborhood.

If the asbestos is only in one area, that room or rooms will be separated by plastic sheeting and then taped off so that they are completely separate from the rest of your home. This is done so that, as it is removed, the asbestos does not escape into other areas of your home.

Filtering -- A filter with a pump will be set up in the contaminated area. This will be run all the time the removal is taking place, so that any small pieces of asbestos that escape can be safely pumped outside into bags. All the asbestos in your home will then be removed.

Safe removal and destruction -- Once your asbestos removal is complete, the asbestos itself will be taken to a facility that specializes in destroying unsafe materials. It will then be destroyed under governmental regulations for asbestos destruction.

Cleaning your home -- Before the plastic sheeting in your home is taken down, the entire area will be cleaned. The company then knows there is no chance of asbestos contaminating the rest of your home. Your home will then be certified as asbestos-free.
