ASBESTOS TESTING & ABATEMENT CONSULTING

SERVING MANHATTAN, BROOKLYN, THE BRONX, WHITE PLAINS & ALL OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY, NY

Asbestos was once hailed miracle mineral because it doesn't burn, and it has been used since the early 1900’s in many products and building supplies. Asbestos can be found in homes and business, especially ones built in and before the 1970’s. Common uses for asbestos include roofing materials, spray coating insulation, floor coverings, 9″x 9″ floor tiles, textured walls, textured ceiling surfaces, attic insulation, heating pipe insulation, and more.

Today, asbestos  has become infamous for its connection to deadly diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer.  At Exclusive Testing Labs, Inc., we offer asbestos testing for various materials and surfaces. We then provide solutions for asbestos abatement consulting  to make your home or property safe. Exclusive Testing Labs Inc. is proudly serving the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, White Plains, and Westchester County, NY.

SIGNS YOUR BUILDING NEEDS ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

Because asbestos is so dangerous, you need to know the warning signs that a building should be checked further. Always keep your eyes open for the following potential warning signs:

The Building is Older – If the building in question was built before the 1980s, it's likely that many of the building materials contain asbestos. In general, you can safely spend time in a building that has asbestos materials as long as the materials remain intact. Unfortunately, older buildings are more likely to deteriorate, which can increase the chances of dangerous asbestos exposure.

You're Planning a Renovation – Regardless of your level of concern about asbestos in your building, it's important to ensure that there is none present before you begin a renovation process. Renovating a space can dislodge asbestos materials, releasing the fibers into the air and creating dangerous health concerns.

Resilient Flooring – If the flooring in your home is older and made with vinyl or rubber, it's possible that it was made with asbestos. If it is not made of asbestos itself, it could have adhesives containing asbestos underneath. Even if you don't plan to replace your floor, you should consider hiring a professional for asbestos testing and abatement.

Old Cement – Asbestos cement was popular in appliances, building materials, and more. If you have a cement water tank or cement walls around heating elements and appliances, you could need asbestos abatement.

Old Insulation – Asbestos is very commonly found in older insulation materials. If your building was built and insulated between 1930-1950, it's very likely that the wall insulation contains asbestos. Even buildings that were insulated up to the 90s have a greater chance of containing asbestos.

If you have been having chest pain or experiencing difficulty breathing, visit a doctor as soon as possible and then contact our team. Exclusive Testing Labs Inc. performs comprehensive asbestos abatement consulting to ensure the work is completed efficiently and thoroughly to eliminate the threat. We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, White Plains, Westchester County, and the surrounding areas of New York. Reach out to us today to get started!

HOW DOES ASBESTOS TESTING WORK?

HOW DO WE GET RID OF ASBESTOS? 

Containment – Using a minimum of 6 millimeter plastic sheeting, we will create a double walled barrier between the work area/areas and the other parts of the home. We will also seal off any and all duct work and vents, all in order to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers.

Personal Protection Equipment –   Protective gear that is worn at all times at the work site, this includes but is not limited to gloves, goggles, HEPA respirators, shoe covers, and disposable coveralls.

Negative Air Pressure – Using a 99.97% HEPA vacuum, we will create within the containment area an environment in which all particles of any size, including microscopic fibers and dust particles, fall to the ground.

Air Scrubbing – Using a 99.97% HEPA vacuum with a Micro Trap, we will “scrub” or filter all of the air within the areas in which we work, both during all abatement consulting actions and afterwards to ensure that all of the air within the space is clean and free of asbestos fibers and harmful contaminates.
