You have Asbestos
What you need to decide
There are four acceptable ways of dealing with asbestos once it has been identified: removal, encapsulation, enclosure, or management.
Asbestos is a hazardous material that can cause severe illness if it enters the body through breathing or swallowing.
- Removal involves taking out the asbestos-containing material and disposing of it in a secure landfill (recommended method).
- Encapsulation involves applying a sealant or coating to the asbestos material to prevent the release of harmful fibers.
- Enclosure involves building a barrier around the asbestos material to isolate it from the surrounding environment.
- Management involves monitoring the condition of the asbestos material and ensuring that it is not disturbed or damaged.
