Asbestos was used in multiple products, including many types of building materials. A Los Angeles asbestos contractor knows that the danger of asbestos is that when it is inhaled, the microscopic fibers can become trapped in lungs. This causes scarring and inflammation which can result in serious and fatal health issues. One of the deadliest diseases asbestos causes is mesothelioma, a cancer of the tissues that line the lungs, heart, stomach, and other organs.
The federal government banned the use of asbestos years ago, but any structure built before 1980 – both residential and commercial – may still have asbestos-containing materials. These items include ceiling and ceiling tiles, floor tiles, insulation, joint compound, piping and pipe cement, roof shingles, and window glazing.
Because of the danger airborne asbestos poses, when these structures are undergoing any type of renovation or demolition, it is critical that the project is done by a certified and licensed trained asbestos contractor Los Angeles CA locals call who uses DLS, EPA, eDEP, and OSHA-approved regulations and procedures.
There are two different forms of asbestos found in structures. One form of asbestos is very easy to crumble. This is referred to as “friable” and this form can be broken up just by simple pressure. The second form is called “bonded” and requires much more force to break it up. Power tools are prohibited as a way to remove bonded asbestos. This type of removal requires a succinct and systematic approach. An asbestos contractor Los Angeles CA property owners recommend is experienced in removal of both forms of asbestos.
Asbestos removal is not just for structures undergoing renovation. People who live or work in a structure that has materials containing asbestos are at risk for asbestos-related diseases. These materials should also be removed by a professional asbestos contractor Los Angeles CA offers.
