Asbestos Abatement
Change is a law of nature and this world is a place where everything changes with time. There was a time when asbestos was known as a versatile resistance against the insulation and had been used in almost every construction. A naturally occurring mineral that once was woven into the fabric to be mixed with cement.
Though high toxicity of its nature was known it was regarded as a perfect blend to make things better. But now it has emerged as a known cause of mesothelioma cancer and its use is banned in more than fifty countries.
So the homes and apartments that are built before 1980 are quite prone to the formation of Asbestos. It can be present in roofs, floor tiles, and other parts of a building leaving almost everyone vulnerable. So it requires a thorough cleaning operation that is known as asbestos abatement.
This procedure deals to control fiber release from Asbestos Containing materials in a building or to remove them entirely and prevent the exposure of the people to this deadly asbestos, The Robotic Cleaning Service offers you its services in this regard to give you back a healthy and asbestos-free atmosphere.
THE NEED
Asbestos is widely used in building industry in false sealing products, Cement sheets, popcorn ceilings, pipe and duct covering, floor tiles, etc. Though the product itself is safe when left undisturbed. But over time and due to disturbances the asbestos-based product may become brittle and this can lead to the production of fibers which are minute and thin.
Asbestos fibers are very thin and pose a risk when inhaled or ingested. Research has proved that exposure to asbestos can lead to health issues like mesothelioma cancer, plaques, or lung cancer. Hence it is essential to clan the asbestos surface so that such fibers, asbestos dust does not come into contact with humans.
Since the exposure to the asbestos fiber is dangerous such removal process or cleaning process must be done by professionals. The Robotic Cleaning Services can operate all the actions of asbestos abatement according to the demand of the situation.
THE WORK OF ABATEMENT
Class first Asbestos work deals with the activities that involve the removal of asbestos that once was used to prevent heat loss or gain. It tends to clear the surfacing of Asbestos containing materials to ensure the complete absence of it.
Class second Asbestos work deals with the removal of non-thermal asbestos cleaning materials such as wallboards, floor tiles, sheeting, and roofing, etc.
Class three asbestos work deals with the repair and maintenance operations of any asbestos-containing material that will get damaged in the cleaning operation.

- Enclosure: In this method, a complete airtight enclosure of wood or metal around the Asbestos product is made.
- Repair: This is done for a small area wherein a patch is made for the exposed area and the patch is sealed with mastic and it is then painted.
- Removal: In this method, the asbestos-containing material is removed from the building and replaced with non-asbestos material.
