Advanced Asbestos Abatement for New York & New England

We understand the challenges property owners face when dealing with an asbestos problem. We’re here to make sure your project is completed in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. Get exhaustive, cost-effective solutions when you choose the team at Martin Environmental.

Control & Containment

The first step in asbestos abatement involves sealing off the area to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers. Our field techs use plastic sheeting, duct tape, and negative air pressure units to contain the contaminated area so that harmful particles do not escape.

Encapsulation

During encapsulation, a special sealant is applied to the asbestos-containing materials. This sealant binds the fibers together, preventing them from becoming airborne and reducing the risk of exposure.

Removal

The final step is carefully removing asbestos materials from the contained area. Our field techs use specialized tools and follow strict safety protocols to safely extract and dispose of the asbestos so that all traces are thoroughly eliminated from the site.

Your Asbestos Removal Questions Answered

What does asbestos look like?

Asbestos can appear in various forms depending on its type and the materials it is mixed with. Generally, asbestos fibers are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye, but when present in materials, they might look like:

White Asbestos (Chrysotile): Often found in a serpentine or curly fiber form, it can appear white or gray with a soft, pliable texture.
Brown Asbestos (Amosite): This type has straight, needle-like fibers that are brown or gray. It is often found in thermal insulation products.
Blue Asbestos (Crocidolite): This type is less common but considered more hazardous due to its fine, sharp blue fibers.

Where is asbestos found?

Asbestos might be mixed with other substances in building materials, making it appear as part of ceiling tiles, insulation, cement, or flooring. These materials might look like ordinary building products but can be identified by a professional through sampling and microscopic examination.

Do popcorn ceilings have asbestos?

Yes. Popcorn ceilings, also known as acoustic or stucco ceilings, can contain asbestos, especially if they were installed or applied before the 1980s. If you suspect your commercial building’s popcorn ceiling might contain asbestos, it is crucial not to disturb it.

Disturbing asbestos-containing materials can release harmful fibers into the air, posing health risks. Instead, contact us for a referral to a qualified asbestos testing company.
