Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos abatement refers to the processes used to safely remove or contain asbestos, a hazardous material once commonly used in building materials due to its heat resistance. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose serious health risks, including lung cancer and other diseases. Abatement typically involves assessing the situation, sealing off the area, removing asbestos material using trained professionals, and properly disposing of it. The main goal is to protect public health and ensure that buildings are safe for occupancy, minimizing exposure to potentially harmful asbestos fibers.
