Asbestos Tile Removal Services In Missouri Announced By ABC Contracting

ABC Contracting in Foristell, Missouri, has announced that they are now offering asbestos tile removal services in Saint Louis and the surrounding areas. The company provides a wide range of services for removing asbestos.

Tina Benton, a representative for the company, says, "What most people don't know is that asbestos tile is safe to be around. Unfortunately, if you decide to change that tile, you are unleashing something very dangerous into the air."

Benton says that asbestos removal should always be left up to professionals. She says that many old vinyl products contain asbestos and while they are safe to be on floors of homes or other buildings, moving or attempting to remove them can let asbestos particles loose in the air, which can be dangerous to those who breathe in that air.

"Removing asbestos tile can release toxic dust," says Benton. "Studies have proven beyond doubt that asbestos can cause a form of lung cancer and breathing in those toxins should be avoided at all costs. This is why we always recommend that you have a professional to remove any asbestos in your home or business, even those tiles that otherwise seem harmless."

ABC Contracting offers services for asbestos removal St Louis homeowners may be looking for and Benton states that their staff are highly trained and experienced in doing so safely and effectively. Removing asbestos without knowing how to do it safely could be dangerous. Exposure to asbestos has been proven to lead to asbestosis and mesothelioma and those removing it have to take precautions in order to stay safe. Benton says that all of their workers wear the appropriate gear when removing asbestos floor tiles so as not to expose themselves.

Asbestos is a toxic material that many American manufacturers had previously used in producing building materials, including floor tiles. Once those materials are disturbed then those toxic asbestos fibers are released into the air. Studies have proven that prolonged exposure to asbestos particles can be deadly. The company states that once those fibers have been breathed into the body, they remain there forever. The human body cannot effectively dissolve asbestos particles, which is what can eventually lead to cancer.

Benton says that having those tiles removed is important in order to avoid the release of those toxins in the future but urges again that only a professional should do so. She states that ABC Contracting workers have the experience needed to remove those flooring tiles that contain asbestos without worries of the home or business owner breathing in dangerous particles in the air.

Benton goes on to say that anyone who lives in a building or works in a structure that was built prior to 1980 should have the structure inspected to ensure that there is no asbestos present. ABC Contracting states that they will come to the building in question and check it for asbestos in the walls and in the flooring to determine if that asbestos needs to be removed.

Removing asbestos, even through the flooring tiles, involves carefully taking those materials out of the building and placing them into safe handling containers. Once all of the asbestos have been removed from a building, they are taken to an approved site for disposal. ABC Contracting states that those who are not certified in the safe handling of asbestos should never attempt to remove asbestos floor tiles.

Benton says that removing asbestos is a must for any home or business owner if it is found that a structure contains this harmful material but continues to urge those who are removing old floor tiles to have their homes inspected to ensure that those tiles do not contain asbestos prior to removing them.

ABC Contracting is a privately owned company that specializes in various environmental and construction issues. These include removing asbestos as well as the remediation and location of this harmful material. The company states that they work with a number of contractors providing residential remodeling, abatement, and other services. Benton says that they work with a wide range of clients on projects of all sizes and strive to ensure that each and every customer is completely satisfied with the end result. The company states that they are veteran owned and managed and say that their number one concern is the safety of their customers.
