The Dangers and Risks of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was widely used in construction for its fire-resistant and insulating properties. When materials containing asbestos are intact and undisturbed, they generally do not pose an immediate threat. The danger arises when these materials are damaged, disturbed, or deteriorate over time, releasing microscopic fibers into the air.

Inhaling these airborne fibers can lead to serious and often fatal health conditions, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. There is no safe level of asbestos exposure. It is critical to identify and manage these materials properly, especially during renovation or demolition projects.

Common locations for asbestos in older buildings include:

  • Popcorn ceilings and textured paints
  • Vinyl floor tiles and the adhesive used to install them
  • Insulation around pipes, ducts, and attics (vermiculite)
  • Roofing shingles and siding materials
  • Cement pipes and sheet materials

If you suspect asbestos is present, do not attempt to disturb or remove it yourself.

Our Certified Asbestos Abatement Process

At ECOS, our top priorities are the safety of our clients and our employees. Our impeccable safety record is a direct result of our meticulous, multi-step abatement process, which is managed by our CDPHE-certified supervisors and 40-hour HAZWOPER technicians. We adhere strictly to all federal, state, and local regulations.

Our abatement and removal process includes the following critical steps:

  • Site Preparation and Containment: We begin by sealing off the work area with heavy-duty plastic sheeting. We create a fully isolated containment zone and use negative air pressure machines with HEPA filters to prevent any fibers from escaping.
  • Safe Material Removal: Our technicians, wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE), carefully wet the asbestos-containing materials to minimize fiber release. They then skillfully remove, cut, and package the materials in approved, sealed disposal bags.
  • Thorough Decontamination: After all materials are removed, the entire containment area is cleaned using specialized HEPA vacuums and wet-wiping techniques to capture any remaining microscopic fibers.
  • Air Clearance Testing: We can coordinate independent, third-party air monitoring to test the air quality within the containment area. This provides unbiased verification that the area is safe for re-occupation.
  • Proper Disposal: All hazardous waste is transported and disposed of at a licensed facility, with all necessary documentation provided to you for your records.

We manage every detail to ensure your property is left clean, safe, and fully compliant with all regulations.

Why You Must Hire a Certified Asbestos Professional

Asbestos abatement is not a do-it-yourself project; it is a hazardous task that legally requires certified professionals. In Colorado, the handling and disposal of most asbestos-containing materials are strictly regulated by the CDPHE to prevent public health risks. Attempting to remove it yourself can result in heavy fines.

The primary reason to hire an expert is safety. Professionals use specialized equipment, such as negative air machines and HEPA vacuums, to contain the work area and prevent cross-contamination. Without these controls, microscopic asbestos fibers can spread throughout your property, creating a long-term health hazard for everyone inside.

A certified company has the training to identify, handle, and dispose of asbestos safely according to proven protocols. This ensures the job is done completely and correctly, giving you verifiable proof that your property is safe and compliant, which is essential for your health and the building’s value.

FAQs About Asbestos Removal in Denver

Where is asbestos commonly found in older homes?

In Denver homes built before 1980, asbestos is often found in materials like popcorn ceiling texture, vinyl flooring and its adhesive, pipe and duct insulation, attic insulation (especially vermiculite), and exterior siding or roofing. Our CDPHE-certified inspectors can help you identify any potential hazards.

What does the asbestos removal process involve?

The process involves sealing the work area under negative air pressure, having certified workers in protective gear wet and remove the material, and then packaging it in sealed containers. The area is then decontaminated with HEPA vacuums, and air testing is often performed to confirm it is safe.

Is professional asbestos removal required by law in Colorado?

Yes, in most cases. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) has strict regulations that require licensed and certified professionals to handle the abatement of most asbestos-containing materials to ensure public safety. DIY removal is illegal for many materials and highly dangerous.

How can I be sure all the asbestos is gone?

We ensure complete removal through our meticulous decontamination process. For ultimate verification, we can arrange for an independent, third-party industrial hygienist to conduct post-abatement air clearance testing. A successful test provides certified proof that the area is safe and meets regulatory standards for re-occupation.

Do you handle all the necessary permits and disposal?

Yes, our service is comprehensive. We manage all aspects of the project, including securing any necessary permits, performing the abatement according to regulations, and ensuring the hazardous waste is transported to and disposed of at a licensed facility.
