KNOWLEDGE

Asbestos identification

We have an extensive database of types of asbestos, their physical properties, and their location which enables us to identify the type of material you are dealing with.

Management plans

We can provide a management plan for your asbestos including how to remove it safely, how long it will take, how much it will cost, and what you need to do before we start removing the material.

Preparation for testing

If you are about to test for asbestos or if we find any during our removal process, we can help prepare your space for testing by cleaning up the area and protecting yourself.

Chrysotile (white asbestos)

is the most commonly used form of asbestos. It can be found today in the roofs, ceilings, walls and floors of homes and businesses. Manufacturers also used chrysotile asbestos in automobile brake linings, gaskets and boiler seals, and insulation for pipes, ducts and appliances.

Amosite (brown asbestos)

was used most frequently in cement sheets and pipe insulation. It can also be found in insulating board, ceiling tiles and thermal insulation products.

Crocidolite (blue asbestos)

was commonly used to insulate steam engines. It was also used in some spray-on coatings, pipe insulation, plastics and cement products.

Anthophyllite

was used in limited quantities for insulation products and construction materials. It also occurs as a contaminant in chrysotile asbestos, vermiculite and talc. It may have a grey, dull green or white color.
