Different Methods of Asbestos Removal

There was a time when asbestos was extensively brought in use for the building materials somewhere from the 1940s till late 1980s. The material was highly used and was known to be long-lasting, fireproof and it was a wonderful substance that was used for insulation. Thus, Asbestos was and is still a general feature in most of the older homes. But now, as the health-related hazards that might be caused due to its use have been identified, asbestos is not being mined or used in Australia.

Since the year 2004, asbestos is not even being imported or made use of in any products that are manufactured in Australia. Rather, the Asbestos Removals in Brisbane is being emphasized in the situations where it is likely to affect the health. It is also recommended that if you find unbroken asbestos, leave it alone.

Water is injected into the asbestos material with the help of a well-defined injecting head that has inlets and outlets of water. These injectors are then should be disposed of as waste.

Dry Removal Method

This method helps when the use of water can probably pose a safety risk to someone who is working on the bathroom electric conductors and live wires. Dry removal method is also used when you are removing asbestos in completely or moderately enclosed areas.

Wet Removal Method

This is the most preferred method for asbestos removal. The asbestos fibers are crushed when water is poured over them with least pressure. The lower pressure lowers the probability of making these fibers airborne and generates little or negligible dust. If required, you can also make use of detergent with the low-pressure water to improve the absorption rate. During this asbestos removal, the floor in your residential area must be wet throughout. This method is quite helpful in removing the asbestos tiles in your residential area.
