Asbestos Removal
Our asbestos removal service is the cornerstone of creating a safe space for you and your loved ones. Asbestos, commonly found in building materials used before the 1990s, poses health risks when disturbed. Our process includes:
Initial Assessment: Conducting a thorough examination of your property to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Planning: Devising a strategic removal plan that complies with Australian Work Health and Safety regulations to ensure minimal disruption and maximum safety.
Containment: Employing effective containment methods to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers during the removal process.
Removal: Utilizing advanced techniques and equipment, our certified professionals meticulously remove ACMs from the premises.
Clean-Up: Adhering to rigorous decontamination protocols to ensure that the area is free from any residual contamination.
Disposal: Safely transporting and disposing of the asbestos waste in line with South Australia’s environmental regulations.
Asbestos Testing
Determining whether asbestos is present in your property is a critical step in managing its risks. Our asbestos testing services are designed to provide quick and reliable results:
Sample Collection: Our experts carefully collect samples from the suspected materials in your property while adhering to strict safety standards.
Laboratory Analysis: Samples are analyzed at NATA-accredited laboratories for accurate identification of asbestos fibers.
Reporting: We provide a comprehensive report detailing the type, location, and extent of asbestos found, along with recommendations for its management or removal.
Friable Asbestos Removal
Friable asbestos is any material that contains asbestos and can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. This type of asbestos presents a higher risk due to its easily inhalable fibers. Our specialized friable asbestos removal service includes:

Safe Demolition Practices: We carry out controlled demolition practices in compliance with safety standards, minimizing the impact on surrounding areas.
