Calgary Based RGR Abatements Explains Importance Of Asbestos Testing And Removal

Calgary, Alberta based asbestos removal company RGR Abatements is reaching out to the wider community to explain the critical importance of asbestos testing and removal. Asbestos is a term used to refer to six naturally occurring silicate minerals, which are composed of thin, needle-like fibers that can cause a variety of severe diseases.

Raj Gosal, a representative for RGR Abatements, says, “Asbestos is such a prevalent problem today because it was a standard building material for housing up until the 1980s. Fact is, asbestos is still very useful if you just look at it as an industrial insulator. It is cheaply produced and resistant to fire and electricity, both of which are properties that make it a useful material in construction. The problem, however, is that asbestos is also a major health hazard.”

Exposure to asbestos can lead to a number of diseases, including non-malignant disorders such as asbestosis (pulmonary fibrosis due to asbestos), diffuse pleural thickening, pleural plaques, pleural effusion, rounded atelectasis. It can also cause malignancies such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma, which is a type of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue that covers many of the internal organs.

Gosal says, “Despite the fact that asbestos is absolutely terrible for humans; unfortunately, there is an overabundance of it in the United States. You can find asbestos anywhere, from houses and apartment buildings to offices and skyscrapers. In 1973, asbestos production in the US hit its peak, with over 800,000 tons of asbestos created for use in hundreds of different materials. All of those materials are very likely being used all around us. After all, asbestos was used in different industries for different products. Buildings, airplanes, cars, pipes, and even individual clothes can have some combination of asbestos minerals.”

He adds, “Disrupting existing pockets of asbestos may very well release more fibers into the air and result in a more significant risk of exposure. If you think you have any kind of product or material that is contaminated with asbestos, the best action you take is to contact a company that specializes in removing asbestos. In Calgary, you won’t find a better asbestos removal company than RGR Abatements.”

The company specializes in asbestos removal and testing, vermiculite insulation, mold abatement, residential and commercial demolition, full restoration of flood damaged properties, hoarding type projects, and new home and renovation construction. RGR Abatements provides their services to both homes and businesses. The company also offers an asbestos consulting service that allows people to discuss potential actions in case of an asbestos contamination.

Asbestos removal is a critical service that cannot be trusted to just anyone, but RGR Abatements has proven themselves more than capable. A quick look at the company’s Google profile shows a perfect 5-Star rating. In a recent review, Courtney Read says that they found the company, “Prompt and professional. Raj was happy to answer all my questions by phone and email. They do testing and remediation; however, don't apply any pressure when testing to use their services if tests are positive. The fact that their testing price is very reasonable is great. More people should test and at least know what you are dealing with in your home.”

Jess Irving shares her experience with RGR Abatements in another review, saying, “I recently hired RGR Abatements to do some testing for me. Raj was super nice, very professional, and seemed happy to answer all of my many questions. He even discussed options and information with me I never would have thought to ask about myself. I would hope that nobody ever has to deal with asbestos, but if you do, this is definitely the company to call.”
