The Silent Danger Hiding in Older Homes
Many homes built before 1980 contain asbestos in drywall texture, flooring, insulation, or roofing materials. When disturbed, these fibers become airborne and can cause serious respiratory illness.
If you’re remodeling or handling fire/water damage — testing for asbestos is step one.
Step 1: Professional Testing
Only a licensed asbestos inspector can sample and confirm asbestos presence.
DIY test kits can be inaccurate and unsafe.
In Arizona, the law requires asbestos testing before disturbing any suspect material in pre-1980 structures.
Step 2: Containment & Negative Air
If asbestos is found, abatement begins with sealed containment zones and negative air pressure systems to prevent spread.
Technicians wear Tyvek suits, respirators, and gloves per OSHA and EPA regulations.
Step 3: Safe Removal
Specialized vacuums and wet-removal techniques prevent fiber release.
All debris is bagged, labeled, and disposed of at approved hazardous waste facilities.
Regular contractors cannot legally remove asbestos — fines and health risks are severe.
Step 4: Air Clearance & Certification
After cleanup, a third-party inspector performs air clearance testing to ensure fiber levels are safe before re-occupancy.
Kingship Restoration coordinates every step — from testing to certified clearance.
