Asbestos Hazards in Sandusky & Toledo OH

As a profssional asbestos abatement company, Erie Environmental has come to recognize the many common types of asbestos materials in the Sandusky and Toledo Ohio areas. Here, it is most common to find asbestos in the following:

  • Asbestos Floor Tiles - 9x9" or 12x12" - and Mastic
  • Asbestos Pipe Insulation
  • Asbestos Seam Tape on Ductwork
  • Vermiculite Attic Insulation
  • Transite Siding
  • Transite Shingles

Our Asbestos Removal Process

Asbestos Testing

If demolition is planned, asbestos removal experts need to test building materials throughout the building first. In the case of remodeling or renovation, only materials that are likely to be disturbed should be tested. Professionals will carefully cut samples of potentially asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and transport them in sealed plastic packets to a dedicated laboratory.

Setting Up a Regulated Work Area

The abatement process should begin if asbestos has been detected. It begins with the containment of the working area. Experts will seal the area with thick plastic sheets and put appropriate warning signs. During asbestos removal, HVAC systems should be disabled to prevent asbestos particles from escaping into other areas of the building.

Removal of Materials

Then, technicians remove asbestos-containing materials using hand tools, place them into asbestos disposal waste bags, and dispose of them following the regional guidelines. Technicians performing asbestos abatement should wear full-face mask respirator and abatement suits that are bagged and sealed after work and disposed of together with asbestos waste.

Cleaning of the Site

When hazardous materials are removed, technicians clean all surfaces in the contained working area with wet wipes and remove any lingering asbestos particles from the air with the help of powerful HEPA vacuums.

Our company will perform final air testing at the request and expense of the owner to confirm the effectiveness of asbestos removal.

Erie Environmental can do all the necessary asbestos repairs replacing the removed materials with new safe alternatives.

Final Clearance Testing

We verify that your property is safe, clean, and ready for re-entry.

Friable vs Non-Friable Asbestos

Friability refers to the tendency of asbestos-containing materials to break down, crumble and reduce to powder. Friability depends on the concentration of asbestos fibers in the material: high concentration makes materials more friable and, thus, more harmful to health. Aging and deterioration of the state of materials gradually make them more friable.

Fiable Asbestos

Friable or ‘non-bonded’ asbestos can be easily damaged even by hand. The examples of it are insulation boards, pipe lagging, thermal insulation, sprayed coating. These materials contain more than 15% (in some cases 100%) of asbestos.

Non-Friable Asbestos

Non-friable or ‘bonded’ asbestos is less likely to release dangerous fibers. Non-friable asbestos materials are solid, rigid and more resistant to damage and abrasion. The examples of non-friable asbestos include cement sheets, vinyl floor tiles, decorated coatings.
