Live in Arlington, VA? You May Have Asbestos Siding

Asbestos is a dangerous material, and can cause specific health problems (including lung cancer). If you live in an Arlington, VA home built before 1980, your home may have asbestos shingles or siding.

For years, asbestos was used inside and outside of homes. Asbestos siding and shingles were commonly used due to the heat and fire resistance asbestos provided. The material kept heat inside the house and helped prevent fires from spreading.

Envirotex is a licensed, asbestos inspection and abatement contractor. We offer:

Safe and vigilant containment and removal following the highest safety procedures
Lawful disposal

Asbestos causes problems when it's inhaled into the lungs. Asbestos insulation is usually considered the most dangerous to health because the asbestos fibers become stuck in the throat and lungs, leading to problems such as cancer. However, if you live and or work around asbestos siding for an extended period of time, you greatly increase your risk of asbestos-related disease.

The only way to distinguish Arlington, VA asbestos siding from non-asbestos siding is by closely examining the fibers under a specific microscope.

Fibers from asbestos siding generally only appear when the siding is altered in some way. Sawing the siding, cutting it or drilling holes in it can release the fibers and make it possible for you to inhale them. The best way to prevent this from occurring is by leaving the asbestos siding as it is.

If you are concerned that your Arlington, VA home may have asbestos siding, please contact the experts at Envirotex. Envirotex can take samples safely, and send them off to an independent lab for determination. If your Arlington, VA home does have asbestos siding, Envirotex can assist you and your contractors with safely removing and disposing of the Arlington, VA asbestos siding.

Envirotex Proudly Accepts

Listen to Our Clients

Envirotex helped alleviate the stress associated with the flooding of our basement. Although the insurance adjuster was quick to get a company in there to rip out the carpeting and drag it out into our driveway (where it remained for several days), neither the adjuster nor the carrier was concern about the ensuing mold growth that we were seeing on the drywall and ceiling tiles. If not for the professional survey, analysis and report that you furnished detailing the extent of the mold contamination, the cause thereof and the work that was required to be performed, I am certain that we would still be fighting with the insurance company. Thank you, we are very glad that we had Envirotex in our corner!

Envirotex truly came to our rescue. With the discovery of asbestos during our current renovation project, we were faced with the possibility of a considerable delay. Envirotex's prompt response, competitive pricing and flexibility to work off hours prevented any schedule slippage.

I used Envirotex at one of my largest client properties, and was thoroughly pleased with their performance. Their service was prompt, and their analysis comprehensive. Follow up and responsiveness were also great. The president of the company personally addressed our questions. I would not hesitate to use Envirotex again.
