The qualified staff at A-D & T
Enterprise, Inc. can help you to determine if you have asbestos
containing materials, assess the risk, select the most appropriate
method of managing the problem and perform the abatement operation,
whether it is removal or encapsulation.
Asbestos can be commonly found in the following applications:
- STEAM PIPES, BOILERS, and FURNACE DUCTS insulated
with an asbestos blanket or asbestos paper tape. These materials
may release asbestos fibers if damaged, repaired, or removed
improperly.
- RESILIENT FLOOR TILES (vinyl asbestos, asphalt,
and rubber), the backing on VINYL SHEET FLOORING, and ADHESIVES
used for installing floor tile. Sanding tiles can release fibers.
So may scraping or sanding the backing of sheet flooring during
removal.
- CEMENT SHEET, MILLBOARD, and PAPER used as insulation
around furnaces and woodburning stoves. Repairing or removing
appliances may release asbestos fibers. So may cutting, tearing,
sanding, drilling, or sawing insulation.
- DOOR GASKETS in furnaces, wood stoves, and coal
stoves. Worn seals can release asbestos fibers during use.
- SOUNDPROOFING OR DECORATIVE MATERIAL sprayed
on walls and ceilings. Loose, crumbly, or water-damaged material
may release fibers. So will sanding, drilling, or scraping the
material.
- PATCHING AND JOINT COMPOUNDS for walls and ceilings,
and TEXTURED PAINTS. Sanding, scraping, or drilling these surfaces
may release asbestos.
- ASBESTOS CEMENT ROOFING, SHINGLES, and SIDING.
These products are not likely to release asbestos fibers unless
sawed, dilled, or cut.
