Often, we find that many of our customers do not understand exactly what asbestos is and why it is dangerous. We're happy to share our insight on this subject. Our team regularly works with clients to educate them on what asbestos is and why it needs to be removed. Asbestos is made of small fibers that, when inhaled, can cause a respiratory disease named asbestosis. Unless the fibers are inhaled there is no great health concern, but over time as asbestos breaks down the risk increases. Symptoms associated with asbestosis include cracking sounds in the lungs and shortness of breath. Controlling exposure to asbestos dust or fibers is critical in preventing the condition. We have specific procedures in place to contain asbestos and remove it safely.

When asbestos is “friable”, or when it’s fragile enough to be broken apart easily by hand that means the fibers or dust have a greater chance of releasing into the air and becoming inhaled. Floor and ceiling tiles, shingles, fire doors and other asbestos-containing products don’t pose a significant health danger until they are friable. When friable materials are disturbed or broken, then the particles become dangerous. Regular wear and tear can accelerate the fragility of asbestos and make it more friable. Similarly, any external factors like water or fire damage can quicken the deterioration of asbestos.
