Asbestos Abatement Services
Once prized for strength, heat resistance, and fire retardancy, asbestos was an incredibly common building insulator through the 1970s. Fast forward to today, it’s been shown to endanger people and the environment without proper mitigation.

What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazardous material that was used in the construction and renovation of many buildings between the 1940s and 1970s. Asbestos contains harmful contaminants that can damage the lungs and create long-term health hazards, including certain cancers. It is believed that even low levels of exposure can be extremely harmful over time, which is why asbestos abatement services are vital when needed.
At Alloy Group, the customer comes first. With engineering & environmental services, demolition services, and field personnel under one roof, we’re dedicated to solving your asbestos abatement problems on time and under budget.
Safely Removing Asbestos
If you want to address the asbestos used on your property, Alloy Group has you covered. With decades of experience, we have what it takes to completely remove this hazardous fibrous material safely, quickly, and affordably.
Our personnel are licensed, highly trained, and equipped with specialized equipment for handling asbestos. They come with the appropriate personal protective equipment and are happy to adhere to any additional site-specific safety requirements.
All work areas are sealed off with plastic sheeting, and negative air pressure units are used to prevent contamination outside the work area. Warning signs are posted to alert others that an asbestos project is underway. When the abatement is finished, HEPA vacuums are brought in for cleanup.
Asbestos Abatement Applications
If your property is from the 1970s or earlier, it likely has asbestos in some form. This material was used in caulk, roofing shingles, floor tiles, cement products, automobile parts, fabrics, packaging, and gaskets, just to name a few.
Our asbestos abatement & removal services are commonly conducted for a range of applications and industries, such as:
- Industrial buildings
- Healthcare facilities
- Educational facilities
- Government facilities
- Commercial buildings
The Hazards of Asbestos
Asbestos has been found to be harmful to people’s health and the environment. The primary danger lies in asbestos’ ability to break down into microscopically thin fibers. These tiny fibers can remain airborne for days after being disturbed.
People and animals breathe in these fibers while they’re airborne. When lodged in the lung tissue, these fibers have been shown to cause several serious diseases, such as:
- Asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
- Lung Cancer
- Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer
- Kidney Cancer
- Throat Cancer
- Scaring Of Lung Lining
Without proper mitigation by trained professionals, asbestos exposure – sometimes called asbestos poisoning – can cause shortness of breath, persistent dry cough, chest tightness, and loss of appetite.
Not only does it put people at risk, but losing control of asbestos can get you into trouble with regulatory officials. Many local entities require construction crews to minimize the chance that asbestos will go airborne during renovations or demolitions. Because of this, it is vital for asbestos removal services to occur if in the presence of asbestos.
