What To Look For in an Asbestos Abatement Company

Site Administrator • July 29, 2022

Everyone knows that asbestos is unsafe to use as insulation, as it has detrimental effects on a homeowner’s health. Asbestos removal should be one of the first things new homeowners consider doing. While you prepare home renovations or other changes to your home, find out all you can about what to look for in an asbestos abatement company.


Check Their Background

The first thing to consider is the company’s background. While every company has working experience, they need to validate their expertise. If there’s no way to prove what they claim, they may lie about having experience in asbestos removal or fail to follow best practices.


Although companies have their share of skill, successful asbestos abatement in MA requires a strong background in asbestos removal. A company that doesn’t have training or the right documents to prove they can remove asbestos from your home isn’t an ideal business.


Focus on areas like customer testimonials, reviews, and referrals. Additionally, a good company will have the tools ready to inspect and remove asbestos and other insulation types from the walls in a home or public building.


Ensure They Use Best Disposal Methods

As an asbestos removal company, it’s an obligation to use the proper methods to dispose of asbestos fibers properly. Without doing so, asbestos particles remain in the home. They’re small, so you won’t know if remnants are still present.


Apart from having the experience, workers spend time prepping before the cleanup. Carefully, employees ensure that they have the equipment, such as HVAC ventilation unit filters, PPE gear, and labeled bags to dispose of remaining debris.


Entrusting a company with many years of experience, including a thorough home evaluation, is the best way. At Air Safe, Inc., our workers have trained and learned the best disposal methods for asbestos and how to carefully clean up after taking everything.


Consider Their Pricing and Licensing

An asbestos abatement company is a better choice to clean out asbestos instead of doing it alone. You protect yourself from lingering health effects and don’t have to worry if you’re disposing of it properly.

An asbestos company has the right tools and the proper licensing from the state of Massachusetts. It can’t officially function without the appropriate certification. Besides certification, pricing also plays a role in efforts to safely remove harmful materials from your home. Do your best not to focus on one area; for a healthy home, it’s best to tackle every corner.


While it’s scary to think about asbestos lingering in your home, this guide on what to look for in an asbestos abatement company will help you find a reliable company.
