ABOUT DUDLEY ASBESTOS REMOVAL

WHY CHOOSE DUDLEY?
First, keep in mind that most home repair or remodeling contractors do not have certification or certified workers nor are they equipped to work with asbestos safely.
If you hire someone who is not qualified, not only have you potentially subjected yourself and your family to serious health dangers, but also there can be legal problems because of local, state, or federal laws regarding environmental protection and workers' health.
If the contractors do not have the right equipment and expertise and do the work improperly, they will spread asbestos fibers throughout your home and the neighborhood. They may create an asbestos hazard where none existed or make an existing friable situation worse. When it can be crushed by hand pressure or the surface is not sealed, to prevent small pieces from escaping, the material is considered FRIABLE.
Remember, as the owner of the property, you are responsible for the safe disposal at an approved landfill, even if you have hired someone to do the work for you.

HOW TO PROCEED:
Should you decide to have your asbestos removed, simply let us know and we will set up a job time frame.
You will then receive a signed proposal and copies of all the submitted notification permits.
Please keep in mind that a ten working day notice must be given to the Department of Environmental Protection, the Division of Occupational Safety, and the local board of health before any work can start.

PREPARING THE ABATEMENT AREA:
While moving objects in areas where asbestos dust may be prevalent, be careful not to raise dust.
Conventional vacuum cleaners are not effective in collecting asbestos fibers.
HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping are the safest methods for handling asbestos fibers.
Do not be concerned with cleaning the abatement area for us, we have the needed and proper equipment for this task.

DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS:
At Dudley, we ensure that all asbestos waste and the disposable clothing, filters, equipment, and building materials which are not to be cleaned and reused are disposed of as asbestos waste. We place the material in double 6-mil plastic bags, labelled as asbestos, and have it hauled to an approved asbestos landfill in a covered vehicle, and disposed of according to EPA, state, and local regulations.
We also contact the health department or air pollution control agency in the area where the asbestos removal is to take place to determine local notification, removal, and disposal requirements and sites.
