Asbestos Roof Treatments

 

It's important to know about all asbestos roof treatments when there is a concern of asbestos being an issue. Even though asbestos is a naturally occuring mineral that was used quite often in the building industry before it was banned, it is highly toxic. There are numerous heath issues associated with the exposure and breathing in the asbestos fibres. The fibres are like tiny shards of glass that embed in the lungs and cannot be removed.

 

Where asbestos is found

 

Asbestos was used so extensively it can be found in houndreds of products and places. It can be found in cement products, tiles of floors and ceilings, adhesives, gaskets, brake linings, doors and many, many others. One of the most common places to find asbestos and asbestos containing material (ACM's) is in the material of roofing. This has led to many problems as the buildings start to age.

 

Asbestos may be embedded in the cement sheeting of the roof, the gutters, the roof tiles or the lining.

 

What asbestos roof treatments are availiable?

 

The first recommentdation is to have a professional asbestos survey done by a licensed asbestos roof removal contractor. This will help determaine whether asbestos is present in your home or building roof. If it is determained that asbestos does pose a risk, you should follow the recommendations of the surveyors results.

 

If the roof is in good condition and is not at risk of falling apart and breaking and if there are no plans to remodel or demolish, then sealing may be an option. When using sealing, or encapsulation, as an option, the surface must be solid. Special coatings of sealant can be used on the cement sheeting or tiles of the roof. There are also special materials that can be used for minor repairs.

 

Another option that may be recommendedis to replace certain parts of the roof or to remove all the asbestos altogether. When repairing the roof, it is recommended that any asbestos containing parts be replaced with non-asbestos parts whenever possible. A asbestos removal project such as this should be completed only by a licensed contractor who has completed special training and has expertise in asbestos roof treatments and removal. These contractors will be current on all regulations concerning asbestos treatment or removal. Call Fibrecleanuk.com on 0800 917 35 70 for this method of asbestos roof treatments.
