Safe Asbestos Removal & Abatement Services
Before the health risks were widely known, asbestos was commonly used as a fire retardant and heat insulator. These fibers can pose serious health risks if they become airborne, as inhalation is the primary way they enter the body. At Rocky Mountain Catastrophe, we provide safe asbestos removal and abatement services in Tabernash and throughout Grand County, ensuring proper handling and disposal of hazardous materials.
Asbestos Testing, Removal & Safety Compliance
According to the code, if more than 32 square feet of drywall or friable material (any solid substance that can be broken into pieces with little effort) is removed, asbestos testing is required. At the same time, we also test for lead paint, which was commonly used prior to 1978. If asbestos or lead paint is found, it must be safely removed before any drying, repairs, or reconstruction can continue. Fortunately, our abatement efforts can be confined to the damaged areas we are working on, regardless of the extent of the damage. Typically, asbestos and lead paint only pose a significant health risk when they are disturbed. Throughout the process, we keep you and your insurance company informed. For safety, do not attempt to remove these materials yourself, as they can pose serious health hazards.
