A Complete Solution for Bonded Asbestos Removal in Sydney

Risks Associated with Bonded Asbestos

• Respiratory Diseases: Exposure to disturbed fibres can lead to serious respiratory issues. Conditions like asbestosis, which leads to scarring in the lungs, and other chronic breathing problems are common risks.
• Cancer Risk: Asbestos fibres contribute to the formation of cancer cells. Inhaling these fibres can increase the risk of getting lung cancer or mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a severe type of cancer that affects the lining of your lungs and other internal organs.
• Environmental Contamination: If bonded asbestos is handled improperly or accidentally disturbed, it can contaminate the environment. This isn’t just a risk to the people directly exposed, it can affect the wider community.
• Legal and Compliance Issues: If you don’t remove or dispose of bonded asbestos properly, you could face serious legal and financial penalties.
• Property Value Impact: The presence of bonded asbestos in a building can significantly reduce its value. Potential buyers often view asbestos as a dangerous liability, requiring costly removal and remediation before the property is safe for occupation.

Our Bonded Asbestos Removal Procedure

1. Initial Inspection and Assessment

When you suspect the presence of asbestos in your property, our first step is to visit your site for a thorough inspection. This allows us to understand exactly where asbestos is located and how much there is. Knowing these details helps us plan a safe and efficient removal, taking into account factors like the accessibility of the area, its closeness to public spaces, and any specific risks involved.

2. Preparation and Safety Measures

Safety is our top priority. Before we begin the removal, we secure the area thoroughly. This includes sealing off any ventilation systems to prevent asbestos fibres from circulating and setting up specialised containment measures to keep the fibres from escaping into the air. Our goal is to ensure that everyone’s health is protected throughout the process.

3. Asbestos Removal

Our team of trained professionals will handle the asbestos-containing materials with the utmost care. We use specialised techniques designed to minimise the release of dust and fibres. Every piece of material is safely removed, securely wrapped, and then transported to an approved disposal facility, ensuring that it’s handled responsibly from start to finish.

4. Site Decontamination

After the asbestos is removed, we don’t just pack up and leave. We conduct a comprehensive decontamination of the site. Every surface is meticulously cleaned to eliminate any lingering asbestos fibres, making sure the area is completely safe for future use.

5. Air Monitoring and Final Inspection

To guarantee that your property is free from asbestos, we perform detailed air monitoring. This involves using a device to measure the level of asbestos fibres in the air, ensuring they are below hazardous thresholds for your safety. This is followed by a final inspection to certify that the area meets all relevant safety standards surrounding asbestos removal. This comprehensive approach provides peace of mind, confirming that your space is clean and safe to use.
