ASBESTOS INSPECTION AND REMOVAL
People think that asbestos is a thing of the past. It came from a time before we knew better, right? Now that we know how dangerous asbestos is, we don't have to worry about it in our homes and buildings. Well, that's not quite true. It turns out that asbestos is still a major problem. We may not use it in buildings anymore, but that doesn't mean that it has disappeared completely. How can you be sure that your home and other properties don't have asbestos? You can always call GilRay Restoration Services, Inc. We're licensed to provide asbestos inspections and to remove any asbestos that we find. Get some peace of mind by calling our team today.
THE DANGERS OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos is a fibrous material that used to be used in construction. It's a convenient building and insulation material, which is why it's been used in homes and other properties throughout history. Unfortunately, asbestos is also dangerous. Asbestos fibers can escape into the air easily. As a result, they get into people's lungs quickly. Once it gets into the lungs, asbestos can cause lung cancer, mesothelioma, and a lung-scarring condition called asbestosis. There are no cures for any of these conditions, and the longer a person is exposed to asbestos, the greater their risk of getting sick.
COULD YOUR PROPERTY HAVE ASBESTOS?
How can you know if your property has asbestos? Here are a few things you should consider.
SIGNS OF ASBESTOS
Recently-built homes and buildings don't have much of an asbestos risk. If, however, your property was built before the 1980s, it more than likely has an asbestos problem. People who own older properties should get those properties tested, just in case. Also, keep an eye out for these signs of asbestos:
- White or gray insulation remnants
- Vinyl flooring in an older building
- Popcorn ceilings
If you have an older property or notice any of the above signs, it's time to call an asbestos tester.
TEST TO KNOW FOR SURE
No matter the signs in your home or building, the only true way to tell if you have asbestos is to hire an asbestos testing service. At GilRay Restoration, we're qualified to provide asbestos inspections. First, we'll take a look around the property for signs of potential asbestos. Then, we'll collect a small sample of building material from your property and test it. If it turns out that your property doesn't have asbestos, then you're good to go. If it does, we can remove the asbestos and make your property safer.
WE'RE ON YOUR SIDE
You should never take asbestos lightly. The risks are too big. Instead, get our team on your side so that you can breathe a little easier.
DON'T DO IT ALONE
If you suspect that your property has asbestos, do not try to remove it on your own. Asbestos is classified as a hazardous waste material. It cannot be removed without the proper techniques, training, and safety equipment. Remember that asbestos can be inhaled easily. Without proper removal techniques, you could face serious health problems, including cancer. Furthermore, asbestos must be disposed of safely and properly. You need a team that has all the training, equipment, and resources necessary to do the job correctly. Finally, all asbestos removal should start with asbestos testing. Otherwise, you can't be sure what is asbestos and what isn't. You could either end up doing unnecessary removals or leaving some asbestos behind.

They may ultimately put your property in danger. GilRay Restoration is licensed by the EPA to provide asbestos inspection and removal services. We know how to get the job done safely.
