Why asbestos removal is essential
Asbestos is a hazardous material that was once widely used in construction for its fire-resistant properties. It is now recognised as a serious health risk. When asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are damaged or disturbed, microscopic fibres can be released into the air. If inhaled, these fibres may cause severe long-term health conditions, including lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.
Due to these risks, asbestos must be handled and removed by trained professionals using controlled, compliant methods. Professional removal ensures the safety of occupants, protects the surrounding environment, and guarantees full adherence to current health and safety regulations.
Our Comprehensive Asbestos Abatement Services
We offer a full spectrum of services to safely manage and eliminate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from commercial, industrial, and residential properties:
Survey and Testing Coordination: Working with licensed consultants to identify and test materials that may contain asbestos (e.g., pipe insulation, floor tiles, roofing, or ceiling textures).
Asbestos Abatement (Friable and Non-Friable): Safe and complete removal of all types of ACMs, including the most hazardous friable materials (those that can be easily crushed into powder).
Containment and Negative Air Systems: Establishing secure, sealed work areas with continuous negative pressure to prevent the escape of microscopic asbestos fibers into the air.
Encapsulation: Applying specialized sealants to certain ACMs that cannot be easily removed, effectively binding the fibers and preventing release.
Full Documentation and Clearance: Providing meticulous records of removal, transport, and disposal, including certified air clearance testing conducted by independent third parties, to ensure regulatory closure.
Safety, Licensing, and Legal Compliance
Handling asbestos is a high-risk activity governed by strict regulations (e.g., OSHA, EPA, local agencies). Our priority is absolute compliance and safety:
Licensed Professionals: All Jones Demolition asbestos handlers and supervisors hold current, mandated licenses and certifications.
Strict Adherence to Protocol: We follow the most rigorous industry standards for personal protective equipment (PPE), hazard communication, and controlled work procedures.
Regulated Disposal: All removed ACMs are double-bagged, clearly labeled, and transported only by licensed haulers to certified, government-approved disposal sites.
Risk Mitigation: By managing the entire abatement process, we significantly reduce the client’s liability and exposure risks associated with environmental hazards.
