Asbestos is a fibrous material that was widely used in homes and other buildings until the mid-1980s because of its heat-resistant characteristics. Unfortunately, asbestos had been implicated in a number of health issues, such as mesothelioma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The inspectors at ABC Environmental have been highly trained in examining and detecting residential and commercial buildings for asbestos. Asbestos inspections and testing procedure will include a visual exam of the area suspected to have asbestos, including the gathering and analysis of the samples. In the event that asbestos is found, they will provide the customer with a written report on the location and amount of damage. They will also indicate the type of asbestos found and the percentage of asbestos fibers.

As a professional asbestos removal company in St. Louis, they will provide services that put safety first while getting rid of all hazardous material totally and quickly. As such, asbestos siding removal is one of their services. It is important to note that generally, asbestos siding is not a health risk unless it is disturbed. Asbestos siding is made from asbestos fibers and cement. However, these materials are brittle and can break easily, which means that people need to be careful not to disturb it, or else, the asbestos fibers may be released into the air and the environment if the siding breaks. Asbestos siding removal involves several steps, including getting an asbestos removal permit. Thus, it would be best to entrust the task to professionals.

If the house or building has asbestos floor tiles, ABC Environmental can provide asbestos tile removal services. It is important to note that not all sheet vinyl floors contain asbestos in the backing. Thus, it is advisable to have a sample of the flooring analyzed and tested. If asbestos is found, the homeowner or property owner may try to remove the tiles themselves or they can use the company’s asbestos removal services.

Meanwhile, for tiles that don’t have cracks or damaged spots and are in mint condition, they can simply be covered. This can be done by installing a carpet over the tiles or a new flooring. For tiles in the basement, it is advisable to avoid carpets because of the dampness.

They also provide asbestos popcorn ceiling removal for homes or buildings that have asbestos in their ceilings. Popcorn ceilings were popular between the 1930s and the 1970s in the US. Unfortunately, asbestos was commonly used as an ingredient of popcorn ceilings, which means these ceilings will have to be removed and replaced. Asbestos is also commonly found in vermiculite insulation, which is why ABC Environmental also provides vermiculite insulation removal services.
