If your Kansas City home or business was built before 1980, there is a real chance asbestos is somewhere in it, in floor tile, pipe insulation, ceiling texture, siding or the attic. Asbestos is hard to spot and dangerous once it is disturbed, which is why abatement belongs in the hands of trained professionals. ABC Environmental Contracting Services provides asbestos abatement for homes and commercial buildings across the Kansas City area, with certified asbestos experts who contain, remove and dispose of the material safely.
Trying to clean up asbestos yourself puts you and your family at risk. If you think part of your building has been exposed to asbestos, keep people and pets out of that area, do not sweep or vacuum it, and call a certified asbestos professional as soon as possible. ABC Environmental Contracting Services will inspect the area, confirm what is there and lay out a safe plan to deal with it.
In addition to asbestos abatement in Kansas City, we offer related services to make residential and commercial buildings safe to occupy, including asbestos removal, asbestos testing and inspection surveys, vinyl and asbestos floor tile removal, popcorn ceiling removal and vermiculite attic insulation removal.
ASBESTOS ABATEMENT IN KANSAS CITY
Asbestos abatement involves identification and removal of asbestos as well as the repair of areas where asbestos is found to contain it. Asbestos was commonly used in the construction of buildings before 1980 for heat resistance. Since then, it is now known that inhaling asbestos can lead to certain lung diseases like mesothelioma cancer, asbestosis, pleural plaques, and asbestos lung cancer. About 3,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the U.S. each year, and asbestos fibers are far too small to see, which makes them easy to breathe in without knowing it.

Asbestos found in a building can be exposed to air due to remodeling or damage to the building. It can be found in walls, tile flooring, and plumbing. The purpose of Asbestos abatement is to contain the asbestos to prevent exposure to humans. Unlike asbestos removal, asbestos abatement involves repairing the areas where asbestos is found and removing the excess instead of completely getting rid of the structure. Some asbestos abatement procedures include:
To make sure the work is done safely, hire trained and certified asbestos professionals. Hiring professional asbestos abatement services guarantees certain procedures will be met such as:
