ABC Environmental Contracting Services is providing the best services for asbestos removal St Louis has to offer. Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that is composed of long and thin fibrous crystals. It has been used throughout history by humans due to its excellent fireproofing capabilities. It is also an electrical insulator with high heat resistance which led to it being used as a building and insulation material in the early 20th century. However, around the 1970s, research into the material exposed its contribution to serious lung conditions such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, pleural plaques, and lung cancer. It is now recognized as a health and safety hazard with its use being illegal in many of the world’s developed nations.
A lot of old buildings around the United States that used asbestos in their construction are still occupied and are thought to be the reason for the death of a large number of people. Nearly 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the U.S. alone and it is estimated that 10,000 people die from asbestos-related diseases each year. Companies like ABC Environmental Contracting Services are on a mission to help and improve the lives of ordinary residents all across the country who might be living in a property that is putting their lives at risk.
ABC Environmental Contracting Services’ asbestos removal services restore the safety of a property by removing all the hazardous material quickly and completely. It is a one-time job with no further maintenance needed. It begins with a complete evacuation and cordoning off the site. The company does not let anyone near the site that is not certified to work with asbestos. The asbestos is then removed from the surfaces and collected in safe handling containers that are properly disposed of at a government-approved site. The company follows strict adherence to all national regulations while working with asbestos to ensure the end result is a safe environment for the property’s residents. Asbestos removal is time-consuming and costly. Depending on the job, replacement material may be necessary that adds to the cost. The company’s workers also assume a high degree of risk during the procedure.
ABC Environmental Contracting Services’ asbestos abatement service is an alternative to asbestos removal. Its purpose is to contain asbestos to prevent exposure to humans. Unlike asbestos removal, asbestos abatement involves repairing the areas where asbestos is found and removing the excess instead of completely getting rid of the structure. Some asbestos abatement procedures include removal of asbestos made to prevent heat loss found on the surface of home fixtures, removal of asbestos found in wall paneling and roofing, and repair of asbestos-containing material that is likely to be damaged. The company’s team of experts follow all industry-standard procedures recommended for asbestos abatement such as putting up warning signs stating the worksite is a restricted area, wetting the material to minimize the release of fibers, the use of drop sheets to prevent the spreading of dust, wetting all the hand tools used in the procedure, banning eating, drinking, smoking or eating gum in the work area, monitoring the air during all phases of the abatement, and having the site visually inspected to ensure all debris has been cleaned up.
The company offers a range of asbestos removal services including asbestos abatement, asbestos testing, asbestos inspection, asbestos siding removal, asbestos tile removal, asbestos popcorn ceiling removal, and vermiculite insulation removal. The company serves many areas in Missouri and Illinois including St. Louis, Florissant, Chesterfield, University City, Wildwood, Wentzville, O’Fallon, Belleville, O’Fallon, Collinsville, Hillsboro, Festus, Arnold, De Soto, Crystal City, Alton, Granite City, Edwardsville, Highland, and Fairview Heights.
