The air is full of contaminants and pollutants humans breathe in every day. From gasoline to excess fumes from factories, humans inhale a lot more than oxygen on a daily basis. While the human body can process and break down most of the contaminants, long-term exposure can pose serious health risks, leading to cancer diagnoses and other life-threatening illnesses.

As asbestos.net points out, there are many long-term health concerns for people who have unfortunately been exposed to asbestos whether at work, home or in their daily interactions. If you end up finding asbestos in your home, removing the harmful particle is the most important step to ensure the health and safety of you and your family, but who should you hire to do the job? These two tips will help you find the right professional to extract the unwanted visitor.

1. How long has the company been in business?

When dealing with asbestos, you want to work with a company that is established and reputable. This isn’t a small task, and just hiring someone who’s dealt with mold or is familiar with construction probably isn’t the best choice. By looking for experience, you’re guaranteeing the job will be done right, ensuring the pollutant is removed safely with the least amount of damage done to your home. In addition, you need to make sure the company is licensed to deal with asbestos. This certification means they have been trained to handle the pollutant which is good for your sake and theirs. Use this guide to help you locate a certified professional. Using a company that fits this bill may cost a little more but will give you peace of mind knowing the job was completed with the highest quality in mind.

2. Will the company do a total home inspection first?

You don’t want a company coming in and starting to remove parts of your home they think could be housing asbestos. First off, they could be missing elements in your home that are actually contaminated, and secondly, they may start removing pieces that are actually safe. If a company tries to skip this step or says it isn’t necessary, find someone else. This is a very important step to conduct before and after the job is done to make sure everything is eliminated that needed to be. 

While you can’t avoid the bad stuff you breathe in every day, some toxins are too harsh and require removal. If you find yourself needing assistance with asbestos, choose quality over ease because the benefits will pay off in the long run for you and your family’s health and happiness.

    I loved how you mentioned that you should look for an asbestos removal company that has years of experience in the industry. My wife and I are wanting to move into an older house and we were wondering what we should do if we need to have asbestos removed from the home. I’ll be sure to tell her that we should hire an asbestos removal company that has years of experience if we need to hire one.
