What does Asbestos Abatement Mean?
Asbestos Abatement means removing asbestos from your home or workplace to prevent exposure and reduce the risk of you or someone you love developing asbestos-related cancer. This typically involves a thorough asbestos inspection and asbestos removal and cleanup once the asbestos is found. Local bylaws govern this entire process to ensure the asbestos is removed and disposed of properly.

Why Was Asbestos Commonly Used If It's So Dangerous?
First, the mere presence of asbestos in your home or building is not hazardous. The danger is when it's disturbed or damaged. Given how safe it is when left undisturbed, it was used in many building products because products containing it are highly resistant to fire, doesn't wear down or decay if left undisturbed, and is considered a stable material.
The take-away: leave products possibly containing asbestos alone and hire a professional.
