What You Can Do At Home
It is crucial to the health and safety of your home and family to not disturb areas that may contain asbestos, whether that be your ceiling, insulation, tiles, roofing, etc. Do not attempt asbestos abatement yourself. Asbestos fibers are microscopic and once inhaled through the air, it can enter the body. If you suspect there is asbestos present, do not touch it. Identify signs of damage or wear such as water damage, tears, or cracks. Damaged material may release fibers, particularly if you disturb the site by handling, rubbing, hitting it, or exposing it to air flow or extreme vibration. When consulting with us about Orange County asbestos removal, we may share these do’s and don’ts:
- Do leave undamaged materials containing asbestos alone
- Do take every precaution possible to avoid damaging asbestos areas
- Do keep your activities near damaged asbestos material to a minimum, and limit children’s access to these areas
- Do have removal done by those who are trained and qualified in asbestos abatement. Under no circumstances should you attempt to do this yourself to save money. It can jeopardize the health and wellbeing of you and your family.
- Do not sweep, dust, or vacuum asbestos containing materials
- Do not sand, scrape, drill, or saw into asbestos containing areas
- Do not track asbestos fibers throughout your home. If you are not able to avoid walking through an exposed area, clean it with a wet mop. Then contact our asbestos abatement professional to take over for you.
