Asbestos is a naturally occurring material commonly used as a part of the construction material during the 1980s. They are commonly present in the ceiling tiles, flooring materials, siding, and electrical components that fitted in the homes constructed during this period.
Since exposure to asbestos causes serious lung diseases like mesothelioma, hence if you are living in an old home constructed during the 1980s, then make sure you hire professionals for asbestos testing.
You’ll come across plenty of companies offering professional services for asbestos removal in Brighton. They will help you with the proper and safe removal of the asbestos threads which might be present in different parts of the house.
Asbestos testing is a crucial step of the removal process. Here’s an insight into the steps of the professional asbestos removal process.
Steps for asbestos removal process
Initial visual inspection
This is the first step in the asbestos removal process. In this step, the professionals will conduct a thorough visual inspection of probable parts of the house where traces of asbestos can be found.
For this, a certified asbestos inspector will visit your house. They will thoroughly examine every nook and corner of the house. This visual inspection is essential, especially for identifying the potential asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Checking the collected samples
During the inspection, the professional will collect samples and send them for inspection to the laboratory for detailed analysis. The labs use microscopes to identify the amount of asbestos threads present in the samples that the professionals have collected. The professionals design the asbestos removal process by identifying the amount of asbestos in the house.
Air monitoring for fibre detection
Along with sample collection, air monitoring is another way of finding traces of asbestos in the house. This method involves the collection of air samples with a pump and sending the same for analysis to the laboratory. This is a vital step required before asbestos removal.
With the help of the amount of asbestos present in the air, the professionals can understand the intensity of the same and remove the traces of asbestos from the same.
Assessment of the exposure risk
Once the amount of asbestos presence is confirmed, the professionals venture out to confirm the assessment of the risk to the people living in and around the house’s premises. The risk assessment is done by certified asbestos inspectors who will determine the potential health hazards and chalk out the appropriate measures that can help to minimise the extent of risk until the complete removal is done.
Final asbestos removal process
The professionals will conjure up the removal process depending on the risk assessment process results. The professionals will generally isolate the areas of the house where traces of asbestos are found. Later, the removal process starts, keeping all safety regulations in mind. The house is sealed to external entry until the whole house is re-inspected after the complete asbestos removal process is over.
