Asbestos is a hazardous material that was commonly used in the construction industry until the 1980s due to its insulating and fire-retardant properties. However, it was later discovered that asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. As a result, the removal of asbestos is now a highly regulated process.

There are two primary techniques for asbestos removal: enclosure and removal.

Enclosure involves enclosing the asbestos material in a sealed structure to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air. The enclosure is then monitored to ensure the integrity of the containment is maintained. This technique is commonly used when the asbestos-containing material is in good condition and is not being disturbed.

The other technique, removal, involves physically removing the asbestos-containing material from the building. This technique is necessary when the asbestos-containing material is in poor condition or has been disturbed, releasing asbestos fibers into the air. Removal is a highly regulated process and requires the use of specialized equipment and protective gear.

Regardless of the technique used, it is essential to hire a licensed and experienced asbestos removal company to ensure that the removal process is conducted safely and in compliance with all relevant regulations. At MCB Asbestos Removal, we have over 10 years of experience in the industry and hold our asbestos and hazardous waste licenses. Our team of professional asbestos removers always follow asbestos regulations to ensure the safety of our clients.

In addition to enclosure and removal, there are also different methods of handling asbestos-containing materials, such as wetting or using special vacuum equipment to minimize the release of fibers. The choice of method will depend on the specific situation and the type of asbestos-containing material involved.

At MCB Asbestos Removal, we use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure the safe and complete removal of asbestos. We strive to go above and beyond for our clients, providing a unique level of service and peace of mind.
