Planning to remodel your garage? Awesome! It’s a fun project that can give the space a whole new purpose. Perhaps you’re adding new climate control, flooring or lighting? Or, perhaps you intend to take out a wall to create much more space for awesome DIY projects.
Regardless of your reason for renovating, it’s imperative to remember that your space might be susceptible to the pitfalls of asbestos. After all, around one third of Aussie homes contain the nasty mineral, and this is especially likely if your home was built before the late-1980s.
So, before you go breaking the ceiling and busting through walls, it’s imperative that you have the room checked for asbestos and for these vital reasons:
1.It is absolutely deadly
Unfortunately, we Aussies have known this for many years just how nasty this substance is. However, it never hurts to be reminded of the fact that this mineral is seriously deadly. This makes asbestos garage removal absolutely essential because you simply can’t begin work whilst it is still present in the space. It is the relentless cause of a range of deadly health conditions including cancers of the lung, larynx, ovary as well as asbestosis and mesothelioma.
It is now apparent just how deadly this mineral is and it can therefore never be underestimated just how important it is to check any room of the home you plan to renovate before you go to work. Just the slightest agitation of this deadly mineral can send it floating around the space which makes it easy for the occupant to inhale it. Whilst overlooking the problem may seem like the cheaper option at the outset, you can’t put a price on ensuring your home is safe from this truly atrocious substance!
2.Prevent the problem from spreading
Agitating this horrid mineral will cause it to spread around your garage. Unfortunately, it also creates the risk of spreading into other areas of your home, too. Not only does this perpetuate the health risks that it poses, but it also makes it incredibly difficult to remove later on, whether in the garage or in any parts of the home.
The last thing you want is to worry that you sent a deadly mineral floating around the home. Instead, the best thing to do is to check for it before it has the chance to become a big problem. The experts will not only detect its existence, but they will also quickly go to work on removing the substance so that you can continue with the exciting process of renovating your home!
3.It will ensure your peace of mind
Because what fun is renovating your home if you’re worried about nasty asbestos floating about during and after the process? It will defeat the whole purpose and ruin any sense of reward you would otherwise feel for having undertaken such an awesome endeavour.
Conversely, nothing beats the peace of mind of knowing that you had the experts come in, detect the problem (or lack thereof) before going to work on ensuring it is gone and not coming back. They will clear up any concerns you have about the mineral and its potential presence in your home. What’s more, they will safely remove and dispose of it in a way that alleviates the risk it poses throughout remodelling.
The experts have the skills, experience and technology to detect this awful substance and remove it where necessary, thus allowing you to get on with the exciting job of remodelling your garage!
