What Is Asbestos?
A silicate mineral known as asbestos has proven useful in the production of numerous building materials. Before it was realized that asbestos can be toxic, chrysotile, crocidolite, and amosite were frequently utilized to create a variety of building materials.
Prior to 1986, asbestos was frequently employed in the construction of buildings. However, it was later discovered that asbestos is dangerous when it becomes airborne because we can breathe it into our lungs where it can cause lung cancer and other health problems. In fact, there are no safe amounts of asbestos to have in your home or commercial building. This is unfortunate because this material proved to be a versatile option to create many building materials (including ceiling materials, insulation, floor tiles, and much more).
It is currently forbidden to use asbestos in building materials because of the health risks it poses. The removal of it from homes and buildings is likewise governed by state and federal laws.
According to federal law, only a licensed contractor who has secured authorization via the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is permitted to do asbestos removal. Although they are similar to EPA standards and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) recommendations, Georgia laws also specify inspection and removal requirements.
Georgia Environmental has the experience and expertise for safe removal and disposal of asbestos and materials that may contain asbestos. Call us to help protect your safety and health.
Common Health Issues Related to Asbestos
It is well known that asbestos exposure can result in a number of health issues. Living or working in a building where asbestos materials have been disturbed can have several detrimental health effects. Several times, symptoms don’t show up for many years, leaving no time for intervention. The following are a few of the most prevalent health hazards linked to asbestos:
- Mesothelioma – Mesothelioma is an aggressive type of cancer that develops in the lungs, abdomen, or heart as a result of breathing in asbestos fibers.
- Asbestosis – Asbestosis is a chronic lung condition that results in breathlessness, a persistent cough, and other health problems. It is brought on by breathing asbestos fibers.
- Pleural plaques, pleuritis, and pleural effusions are just a few of the serious lung disorders that can develop as a result of asbestos exposure.
- Other Cancers – Cancers, such as ovarian, lung, and laryngeal cancer, can develop as a result of asbestos exposure.
- Additional issues – Over time, asbestos that has been trapped in your home or place of business can result in scarring and genetic damage, among other health issues.
Asbestos Removal Services With A Patented Approach
If you have asbestos on your property, it is hazardous for anybody nearby if it were to become airborne. Fortunately, Georgia Environmental makes asbestos removal as simple as possible. We can do an asbestos test on your building to identify all the materials that contain asbestos, and we can then create an effective, reasonably priced asbestos abatement strategy that is tailored to the unique requirements of your home or business.
Georgia Environmental differs from other asbestos removal companies in that we use a foam containment system. Our experienced staff can remove most asbestos containing materials without the problems or expense of sealing off areas, negative pressure containment systems, or closing down complete buildings for long periods. Our Approach makes asbestos removal less disruptive and greatly affordable.
In order to prevent the asbestos particles from getting airborne, The foam we use is distributed across all surfaces of the material ensuring that it is thoroughly and adequately wet. During removal, asbestos and other particulates are contained by the layer of foam bubbles.
When a particulate pierces the foam bubble it collapses around the particulate. As a result, the asbestos and particulates become thoroughly wetted and do not become airborne. The layer of foam completely fills the entire space across the surface of the material being removed and contains and captures asbestos and particulates.
Instead of treating your contaminated building like a toxic site cleanup, our patented approach does require work area access restrictions and a regulated area, but not costly and intimidating work area scenes.
In addition to our asbestos abatement services, we also offer demolition services. We collaborate with homeowners, business owners, and construction contractors to provide asbestos abatement for building restorations and demolitions.
We can assist you if you’re ready to ensure that this dangerous substance has been completely removed from your building.

How do I Know if There is Asbestos in My Home or Business?
Both new construction and many older homes still contain asbestos. The material was never taken out of many products after the 1991 decision to overturn the 1989 ban on the production of new ACMs. As a result, even homes constructed after the EPA’s 1989 rule may have building materials containing asbestos.
Building materials known to contain asbestos include:
- Vinyl floor tiles
- Shingles
- Siding
- Cement flat sheet
- Commercial and specialty paper
- Corrugated paper and metal
- Roof coatings
- Roll board
- Drywall
- Flooring felt and tile
- Popcorn ceilings and textured paint
