Asbestos, Winston-Salem, NC

If you need help evaluating your property near Winston-Salem for the presence of asbestos or help removing known asbestos-containing materials, we have the knowledge and experience necessary to do it safely.

Almost everyone has heard of asbestos and knows that it can cause health issues, but you may not really understand what it is, when it was primarily used or what materials may contain it. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that has been used in thousands of different materials, including many building materials. The use of asbestos was drastically reduced in the 1980s, so most modern building materials and buildings rarely contain asbestos. If your home or business was built before 1985, it is more likely that it may contain materials with asbestos.

What are the markers for asbestos?

Asbestos is generally not harmful unless it is disturbed, but these materials can degrade and deteriorate over time, making it more likely that they can release airborne fibers that can cause cancerous diseases when inhaled. Exposure to these fibers can lead to symptoms decades later. You can’t see or smell asbestos, so if you aren’t sure if your home or business contains asbestos (especially if it was built before 1980), it is a good idea to get it evaluated.

Here at Remtech Environment, we can take samples of various materials in your building and have them evaluated for asbestos. If asbestos is present, we can help with the safe removal and disposal of the problem material. Once the removal is complete, we will complete secondary testing to make sure all asbestos is gone. We have been helping property owners with asbestos in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area for over 20 years. Give us a call today.

FAQs About Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was extensively used in construction and manufacturing during the twentieth century due to its heat resistance, strength, and insulating characteristics. However, it is now understood to cause major health concerns if its fibers become airborne and ingested. Our team at Remtech Environmental is well-versed in asbestos and offers a wide range of services to help identify, remove, and dispose of it properly. Some of the common questions we get about asbestos and our services are answered below.

Hidden

Where can asbestos be found?

Insulation, roofing shingles, floor tiles, cement, siding, and HVAC duct tape or duct insulation are all places where asbestos might be found on your property.

Why is asbestos dangerous?

Asbestos-containing products can discharge microscopic fibers into the air when disturbed. When breathed, these fibers can lodge in the lungs, causing inflammation, scarring, and deadly diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.

How do I know if anything in my home contains asbestos?

Asbestos is invisible to the human eye. The only way to establish its presence is to have a team, such as us, take samples of various materials in your house and have them tested. If you suspect asbestos on your property, it is important to contact us right away and not disturb it.

How do you know if all the asbestos is fully removed?

Once we complete the removal process, we will do secondary testing to make sure it has all been removed.
