Asbestos Removal in Southern Oregon

Asbestos Removal in Southern Oregon

Asbestos is a durable, heat-resistant mineral that can be broken down into tiny fibers. It was widely used in construction materials until 1987 before it was banned. However, many buildings made before 1987 contain asbestos in materials ranging from drywall to popcorn ceilings. If you suspect that asbestos is in your home or business, contact ProKleen today for asbestos abatement.

What are the Hazards of Asbestos?

Long-term exposure to high concentrations of asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems. When asbestos fibers become airborne, they can lead to illnesses, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. For more in-depth information, please visit this guide on asbestos in the home.

How Can You Protect Yourself from Asbestos?

As long as asbestos is undisturbed and remains undamaged and sealed, it’s not considered a health hazard. Materials containing asbestos can become hazardous if they are subject to rot or mold, remodeling, natural disasters, structural damage, and pest or rodent infestation.
