Prior to the commencement of any project, an Asbestos survey must be completed. State and Federal Law requires licensed asbestos contractors to notify, coordinate, and prepare on-site contractors of asbestos issues. Hazardous materials are removed by NH Demolition to a certified land fill.
Contrary to popular belief, not all asbestos is truly hazardous. When asbestos-containing materials (materials containing 1% or more asbestos) are structurally intact, they are generally not hazardous as their fibers aren’t available for inhalation. However, when the fibers are damaged, they are rendered friable. The official working definition for friable materials is those which are able to be crushed or destroyed by human hand pressure. If any asbestos-containing material is in this condition it is potentially hazardous and necessitating abatement Under no circumstances should any unlicensed person conduct abatement activities unless under consultation with an abatement firm or state guidelines concerning the proper procedures. Unlicensed abatement can lead to potentially harmful inhalation of friable asbestos fibers, which can have serious health consequences. For more information contact a licensed asbestos abatement firm and be sure to read up on local guidelines for asbestos removal in your area.
