Asbestos Abatement Removal

Time is of the essence in the asbestos abatement removal process. CAS will collect samples of tiles, pipes, flooring, etc. and send them for proper testing in order to determine how severe the contamination and exposure is. Results are quick and accurate and help us formulate an effective abatement plan.

Asbestos abatement removal contractors like CAS strictly follow industry-approved methods of abatement, removal and disposal of infected materials. We combine the latest equipment with accepted procedures to expedite your asbestos abatement removal program. CAS employees also ensure that asbestos debris is put in approved containers and disposed of at designated facilities. We’re certified in asbestos abatement and committed to successful results keeping the safety of your workers and ours always top of mind.

We take the utmost precaution to prevent asbestos fibres from escaping into the air by using strong HEPA vacuums to collect remnants of materials that are cut, peeled, or scraped off during removal. Affected sections are also properly sealed off to prevent contaminating other areas. In addition, HEPA filtered ventilation blowers ventilate the work area and prevent contaminated air from escaping. We put up barricades and coordinate with your company representative to schedule work activities in a way that will minimize contact with occupants of your building during asbestos abatement removal.

Sometimes referred to as ‘asbestos cancer’, mesothelioma is the most common form of cancer cause by asbestos exposure. This rare, aggressive cancer develops in the mesothelial cells that line many organs and body cavities, more typically the heart, lungs and abdomen. Symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, persistent coughing, fatigue, night sweats or fever and unexplained weight loss.

Asbestos exposure has also been linked to some forms of lung cancer. As with mesothelioma, symptoms of lung cancer like coughing and chest pain, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, change in sputum volume or color, presence of blood in sputum, weight loss, tiredness and headaches, can manifest years after the exposure has taken place.

Presence of asbestos fibres in the body can also cause a number of other life-threatening cancers like gastrointestinal or colorectal cancer and increase the risk of developing kidney, throat, oesophagus, gallbladder, breast, ovarian or prostate cancer, as well as leukemia and lymphomas.

Asbestosis is a breathing disorder caused by inhaling asbestos fibres. Prolonged accumulation of these fibres in your lungs can cause scarring of lung tissue and shortness of breath. Asbestosis symptoms can range from mild to severe, and usually don't appear until years after exposure.

Presence of asbestos in commercial buildings, factories and warehouses has severe consequences for all who work there.
