Rely on SERVPRO for Asbestos Abatement in Your Rigby Home

For Your Rigby Property, SERVPRO Can Ensure Asbestos Abatement

When your home has been damaged by water, worries intensify if the structure includes materials containing asbestos. Many popular materials used to build, remodel and repair homes, particularly before the 1970s, may be manufactured with asbestos integral within the items or as a fire resistant coating. The long fibers of asbestos are a potential health hazard when airborne; SERVPRO technicians assess the possibility of exposure to this substance at every step in the process of fire and water restoration.

Some of the services we provide while inspecting and planning may have a low risk of spreading asbestos in Rigby while others may raise serious concerns of significant movement of the fibers throughout your home environment. We are trained to follow federal protocols when dealing with asbestos and will partner with specially licensed asbestos abatement contractors if cleaning, drying or removal of damaged materials pose a hazard under the law.
 
Flooding, rain, and storms can bring significant moisture into the ceilings, walls, and flooring of your home. These items, as well as the insulation and ductwork that keep your home's interior comfortable frequently, contain asbestos. The adhesives holding tiles to a subfloor as well as roofing materials and window putties and glazing that may have tumbled into your home after a storm or other disaster also pose an asbestos risk. If the structural components are so water damaged that they cannot be restored it is possible that asbestos removal will be required and we are expert at arranging for this to be done safely so that the process of repairing your home can continue. Discovering that your water damage has now led to potential asbestos contamination is very stressful for you, the homeowner, and we are committed to guiding and supporting you at this difficult time.
 
As we work together on your water restoration process, the goal will be to ensure that the finished product brings your home back to its pre-loss condition without exposing you or your family to hidden risks because of asbestos on the premises.
