Asbestos Do's And Don'ts For Toronto Homeowners
- Minimize activities in areas with damaged material that may contain asbestos.
- Do not dust, sweep, or vacuum debris that may contain asbestos, or saw, sand, scrape, or drill holes in asbestos materials.
- Never use abrasive pads or brushes on power strippers to strip wax from asbestos flooring.
- When asbestos flooring needs replacing, install new floorcovering over it, if possible. This is recommended over trying to remove the old asbestos flooring.
- Clean the area containing asbestos with a wet mop to avoid tracking the material that could contain asbestos through the house. It is highly recommended that you call a professional asbestos removal service for proper clean up.
- Ensure that removal and major home repair is done by people trained and qualified in handling asbestos.
Important Points To Remember About Asbestos Removal
The repair method: This usually involves sealing or covering asbestos material keeping the toxic substance in place. Repair is usually cheaper than removal, but it may make the removal of asbestos (if necessary) more difficult and costly in the future.
- Sealing involves treating the material with a sealant that either binds the asbestos fibres together or coats the material so fibres are not airborne. This should be done only by a certified asbestos removal service.
- Covering on the other hand involves placing a protective wrap over or around the material that contains asbestos to prevent the release of asbestos fibres into the air.
The removal method: Material which contains asbestos is first tested to determine the extent of contamination and then carefully removed to completely eliminate any future problems. Effectiveness and safety of the asbestos removal service, however, depends on the training and skills of the professionals you hire.
