Do You Need to Get Rid of the Asbestos in Your Sterling, VA Home?

What happens after asbestos material has been discovered in your home? Do you have to get rid of the asbestos in your Sterling, VA home?

Well, you are going to have to undertake asbestos abatement. After asbestos fibers are disturbed, they become airborne and can become extremely hazardous if inhaled. Diseases like lung cancer and mesothelioma can result, so you will want to avoid any unnecessary exposure.

Envirotex is a licensed, asbestos inspection and abatement contractor. We offer:

• Safe and vigilant containment and removal following the highest safety procedures
• Lawful disposal

There are two ways to deal with asbestos – encapsulation or removal from your Sterling VA home or business. Sometimes, it’s safer and more cost effective to properly manage asbestos materials in place through encapsulation. (Encapsulation means that the asbestos materials are sealed off and contained.) This containment doesn’t last forever, and the encasement will eventually wear away. Your home will need to be put on a regular maintenance schedule, with check-ups to make sure the asbestos is securely contained.

However, you need to understand that if you choose encapsulation, at some point you will eventually have to have the asbestos removed. This knowledge might help you decide which method is the right one for you.

Envirotex Environmental Services, LLC. will inspect your home and advise you on how to handle any asbestos-containing materials. In many cases, asbestos that is intact and in good condition may not necessarily need to be removed. However, asbestos-containing materials subject to disturbance will most likely be candidates for asbestos removal.
