Professional Asbestos Removal on the Gold Coast
Tomolyn Asbestos provides safe and affordable services for asbestos removal on the Gold Coast and surrounding areas. Exposure to this building material is hazardous and should only be managed and removed by professionals. Our expert team is certified for residential and commercial asbestos removal, guaranteeing all our removals are performed in accordance with Australian standards and regulations.
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos was once a widely used construction material thanks to its insulating properties and heat resistance. Asbestos was commonly used in different building materials, such as cement sheeting, vinyl floor tiles, adhesives, roof and fencing materials, pipes, and much more. Since then, it has been found to cause serious health conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis. If the fibres are inhaled, the repercussions can be lethal.
With this in mind, it’s crucial that when the material is removed, it’s done with extreme caution. Our asbestos removal services are essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of those who work and live in buildings where it has been used. Tomolyn Asbestos ensures that stringent safety protocols are followed during renovation, demolition or other construction activities.
Our Asbestos Removal Process
Initial Inspection & Assessment
Before any asbestos remediation work begins, we complete an inspection to identify how much material there is and the severity of the situation. Our professionals will safely collect a sample and send it off to be tested.
Worksite Preparation
Once asbestos has been confirmed, our team will seal off the area with plastic sheeting and establish a decontamination zone. An exclusion zone is set up with ‘Asbestos Removal’ warning signs, barricade tape, and, in some cases, temporary fencing. We notify neighbouring properties to inform them of asbestos removal works and ensure public safety.
Negative Air Pressure
If required, we will use our negative air pressure units to prevent any fibres from escaping the removal zone. These units help to minimise the spread of asbestos particles and dust from migrating. They also make the end clean-up process much easier and safer.
Asbestos Removal
The removal process is carefully outlined and regulated to ensure it’s completed safely. Using specialised equipment or wetting agents to suppress the dust, our professionals remove all materials that contain asbestos in a highly controlled manner.
Regular Air Monitoring
Regular air monitoring can be conducted while the removal is taking place to check if any fibres are escaping. Once the removal has finished, a final clearance test will take place to check whether the area is safe to enter and if the fibre levels are below acceptable limits.
Proper Disposal
Following our asbestos abatement, the materials are carefully packed for disposal at a local facility that handles toxic waste. The disposal of asbestos is just as important as the removal and is done in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.
What are the Health Benefits of Asbestos Removal?
The main health benefit of asbestos remediation is the reduction in risk of exposure to the toxic fibres, which can cause lung cancer as well as other respiratory diseases. It can also improve the air quality and ensure your building is safe while offering peace of mind for those occupying the premises.
