Commercial Asbestos Abatement for Schools

You know there’s an even bigger focus on the health of your students, faculty, and staff this school year. The last thing you want or need is for people to be getting sick from being inside your building. It would be terrible! It would be even worse if it were to be discovered that the source of coughing, wheezing, breathing troubles, and other lung problems were the result of something lurking inside your building. If your school building was built several decades ago, as many here in Detroit were, this is very possible because your premises could still have Asbestos inside.

As a rule of thumb, buildings built between 1930 and 1950 may have Asbestos used in their insulation. However, homes built as late as 1977 may have Asbestos in paint and wall/ceiling joints. You see, while Asbestos was banned years ago it was never forcibly removed from where it was already put in place. And yes, this could be true even if your school doesn’t have an attic. It’s a common misconception that Asbestos is only found in attic insulation. It can also be found in floor tiles, shingles, textured paint, pipe insulation, glue, and nearly a hundred other spots. It was often added to products to increase their strength and to provide heat and fire resistance. This is why you need a trained expert to check the entire school premises.

The most common signs of Asbestos exposure include shortness of breath, cough, and chest pain. Does this sound familiar, like another condition we’re all very worried about? Yes, exactly! Signs of Asbestos exposure usually involve the lungs, because Asbestos primarily causes lung diseases. We are all very focused on our lung health right now and want to keep ourselves able to breathe with ease. In the long run, prolonged exposure to Asbestos includes cancers and other deadly, chronic conditions. This would mean teachers and other staff members who work in the school for a large portion of their career could become very, very sick.
