The Best Asbestos Removal in Cape Town

Safe Asbestos Removal in Paarl

As soon as you suspect that there may be asbestos in some of the building material on your property, it is critical to contact a registered asbestos contractor, such as Asbestos Removal & Roofing. There are specific guidelines and regulations which have to be adhered to at all times. We have a tried and tested procedure in place to make the removal efficient and safe.

Asbestos disposal in Cape Town is done with great caution. The first thing that needs to be done is to determine whether or not there is asbestos present. Our team has years of experience in identifying asbestos and will be able to look for signs indicative of the fibres.

Sampling and testing is the next step. At this stage it will be established whether asbestos is in fact present. Once confirmed that the material contains asbestos, the type and amount will be ascertained. Approved Asbestos Inspection Authority Certified contractors are in control of the testing process.

By this time the Asbestos Removal & Roofing team will commence with the disposal. During this stage many precautions are made to get rid of the asbestos, without releasing fibres into the air. Occupational Health and Safety regulations are taken very seriously. Adhering to these safety standards are non-negotiable. The working conditions and operations of our team are monitored at all times to ensure that the risks of working with asbestos are controlled and eliminated. Having a high regard for health and safety, as well as being cautious and responsible, is what enables our team to do their work properly. The job is not done until our team is 100 % certain that there are no asbestos fibres in the air. The final check is done three days after the completion of the asbestos removal. If there are any fibres in the air, another clean-up will be conducted.

Asbestos which remains intact is not a safety hazard. It only becomes a health concern when the material gets damaged and the asbestos fibres become exposed. Working with asbestos can be extremely dangerous, especially when it is not done by an experienced professional.

Fibres being set free is one of the main fears contractors have when removing asbestos. When inhaled, these airborne particles have the potential to cause agonising diseases such as Mesothelioma and lung cancer. This possibility exists even when the exposure was to a small amount of asbestos for a brief moment. That is why it is so important to arrange for a contractor to inspect your property for asbestos. Do not be fooled – the inhalation of asbestos fibres does have the potential to cause you or your loved ones suffering. It’s symptoms and effects are often only noticed years after the exposure to the asbestos dust. Prevention is better than cure.

Asbestos encapsulation is an option which has to be considered before simply removing the asbestos containing material. Although certain laws have been put in place to prohibit the use of asbestos, there are cases where it is safer to leave the asbestos where it is. When this is the advised solution, encapsulation paint it used to prevent deterioration. All the benefits and possible risks of using encapsulation paint should be considered to avoid doing more harm than good, depending on the condition, type, amount and location of the asbestos.
