Asbestos Floor Removal In Maryland
You purchased that older home for a bargain, and planned on replacing all of the carpeting. Half-way through removing the carpet, the flooring contractor stops all work, and announces that you have broken asbestos tiles under that carpeting. What you now need is a company that is licensed to do asbestos floor removal in Maryland. The experts at Envirotex can help.
It’s important to understand that your flooring contractor is probably not licensed to remove the asbestos tile, and would be breaking the law and risking the health of everyone involved if they remove the asbestos flooring. Asbestos floor removal in Maryland requires licensed contractors, with special expertise and equipment to prevent the inhalation of the asbestos fibers.
When left intact and undisturbed, asbestos containing materials do not pose a health risk to people working or living in buildings. Asbestos containing material is not generally considered to be harmful unless it is releasing dust or fibers into the air where they can be inhaled or ingested. Many of the fibers will become trapped in the mucous membranes of the nose and throat where they can then be removed, but some may pass deep into the lungs, or, if swallowed, into the digestive tract.
If you suspect you may have asbestos flooring in your Maryland home, don't attempt to remove it yourself. Please contact the asbestos floor removal experts in Maryland, Envirotex.
