Why Consult Asbestos Abatement Edmonton Technicians

By Tanisha Berg


Homes that were built before the 1970s are likely to contain materials and surfaces that have asbestos. The substance can be found in insulations on pipes or basement boilers. It may also be found in roofing, plasters, siding material, and corrugated heavy duty panels. With asbestos abatement Edmonton technicians, they can assist in safely removing this harmful substance. While materials with this substance may not be a risk if not disturbed, in those surfaces that are degrading, the fibers could be released to the surrounding posing serious dangers.

If you suspect your home could be having this substance, you need it tested by qualified technicians. Its mere presence may not be hazardous but then again, as the materials age, it may be dispersed to the air. When inhaled for a long time, it causes serious health issues. Those exposed to the asbestos for a long time may experience conditions like pneumonia and lung carcinomas.

If there is material containing this substance in your home, the best thing you can do is avoid disturbing it. Just leave it alone. As long as the fibers are not being dispersed in air, they may not cause harm. However, you need to consult technicians to test the air and surfaces to determine if there are fibers.

Never try to remove the substance on your own. It requires qualified and trained personnel that will use the required skills in removing these fibers from your place. The technicians employ the state of the art technology and specialized procedures that ensure proper abatement. Always be careful when you notice you might have been exposed to the substance.

There are tests that can be done to detect the presence of the fibers. These tests can provide the required information about the level of contamination. Using polarized light microscopy can help examine buildings so as to ensure you are safe from this substance. The other accurate but expensive method is the use of transmission electron microscopy. It can even detect non-asbestos materials in your building or any structures you want to examine.

It needs the service of highly skilled personnel that use the right tools to remove it. Please ensure you contact the right people to come and help you in detecting and removing them from your premises. There occurrence is almost unnoticed but they could be almost everywhere. Roofs of buildings, marine bodies, to vehicles, you could find the substance.

Transmission electron microscopy is another method that can be used. It recognizes and gives the exact features of the structure and how it can be removed. The technique uses high magnification power, which is 2000 higher to provide reliable results. The bad thing with this procedure is that it is not economically friendly and one may spend a lot of money.

The polythene bags used are also thick to ensure no contact with the environment. They are then double wrapped and transported to special dumping sites. Special dumping locations are set for disposal to ensure it does not come in contact with people. With all the precautions taken, you can ensure the family, workers, or other people including the technicians are not put in danger.
