ASBESTOS REMOVAL SERVICES FOR YOUR HOME & bUSINESS IN KENTUCKY

There’s no point arguing it, asbestos is nasty stuff. With a proven track record of causing devastating diseases and even destroying communities of workers, it’s managed to create quite a reputation for itself. If you’re even passingly familiar with everything asbestos is capable of doing to your body, it’s no surprise that you’d fear having it in your home, around your family and even your pets. After all, no one wants to hear the diagnosis that asbestos exposure can result in. But what can one person do about it? Certainly, attempting a removal and testing as a DIY project is more dangerous than fruitful? It’s not as if your local hardware store sells an asbestos removal kit that comes with a mask that’ll filter out the fibers, a hazmat suit so you don’t accidentally expose others to it and the tools you need.

If your home or business tests positive for asbestos, you’ll need to hire a licensed asbestos abatement contractor for your removal and abatement. Especially before you can move forward with any remodeling or demolition. your home is safe. That’s where we come in.

Asbestos Fibers Being Removed – Nicholasville, KY – Environmental Testing and Consulting of Kentucky

Why Hire Clean Pro Services?

The most important reason you’ll need to hire an asbestos removal company in Kentucky, like Clean Pro Services, is that asbestos is a volatile substance that needs to be handled with extreme care. Exposure to this substance is scientifically linked to malignant mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. If you don’t know how to handle this complex and dangerous chemical, you could be signing up for more than some expensive medical bills in the near future.

Clean Pro Services is connected with the ETC of Kentucky due to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's stated preference to have separate testers and separate abatement specialists. This helps you to avoid a conflict of interest and helps you to get more accurate results and advice on how to proceed with your asbestos issues.

Why Can Asbestos Be Harmful?

Asbestos becomes airborne rather easily because the fibers are lightweight and turn to powder with extreme ease. Those toxic fibers are so small they cannot be seen by the naked eye, but your lungs know when they travel down your airways and enter your body. You’ll be exposed to these dangerous, cancer-causing fibers without even knowing it and once those fibers are ingested or inhaled they become lodged into the very linings of your organs. People who are diagnosed with exposure often have asbestos embedded in their most important organs, too, like their lungs, heart, and bowels. This spells out danger in the near future and is devastating to so many families across the United States.

Removal Options

There are two options for removing asbestos threats in the home: total abatement or encapsulation. Depending on the level of hazard as deemed by your professional asbestos removal expert from Clean Pro Services, you’ll be able to choose between these two options. Materials that contain asbestos are, indeed, all dangerous.

However, if a building material with asbestos is considered to still be in good shape, there’s less to worry about. You’ll need to have these materials continually checked to determine whether they’re still in decent shape and that asbestos isn’t shedding into the air as the building material slowly breaks down. If said building materials are in good shape, your professional asbestos removal expert will advise you on how to negate the threat by putting on a fresh coat of paint to encapsulate it, or how to otherwise maintain the material to avoid the risk of potentially allowing the material to start to decay and expose your family to those fibers.

If a building material or item containing asbestos poses enough of a threat, your abatement specialist will recommend that you remove it entirely. While this is often a more expensive route to go, it is usually the safest route. Encapsulation is appropriate for some threat levels, but in general, it’s far better to be rid of a large amount of asbestos if you can. This completely removes the mineral from the area and ensures that any encapsulation method you used doesn't require further, future maintenance.
