What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally existing material that was widely used in construction for its fire- and heat-resistant properties. However, it can emit very dangerous, respirable fibres when disturbed or broken down. These fibres can cause life-threatening respiratory issues when inhaled, including asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

How do I know if I need to remove asbestos from my home or business?

If your home or business was built prior to 1990, it’s highly likely that it contains asbestos materials in either its flooring, roofing or cladding. While this might seem like a confronting fact, there’s no need to stress: engaging asbestos contractors to safely remove the materials can minimise your asbestos exposure risk, keeping you, your family, and your staff safe.

The Dangers of Asbestos Containing Materials

You should never try to deal with asbestos-containing material on your own. Health and safety laws in Australia prevent unlicensed individuals from conducting asbestos removal works: it’s essential to engage a well-regarded asbestos removal company instead. Remove the risk of asbestos exposure by having an expert inspect and decontaminate your space and to ensure your risks of asbestos-related disease are effectively managed.

OUR ASBESTOS CLEARANCE PROCESS


We’re the asbestos removal Brisbane businesses and families rely on, thanks to our strong processes and safety protocols.

As a licensed asbestos removalist, we follow the correct procedure to remove asbestos cement sheets and asbestos-contaminated dust. At the end of the clearance, we make sure that your living space doesn’t have any asbestos-contaminated dust through thorough cleaning.


Step 1 – Asbestos inspection and assessment

One of our licensed asbestos removal experts will start off the asbestos inspection and assessment. This is where we detect the presence of asbestos-containing materials such as asbestos sheets, using advanced equipment and scientific testing. After air monitoring and detection of any asbestos present, we provide a complete plan with supporting documents. Based on that, we will create a customised plan to remove any asbestos materials and ensure your health and safety.

Step 2 – Asbestos removal

After the confirmation of our licensed asbestos assessors, we will start removing asbestos-containing material. We start off by decontaminating your property with H Class (Asbestos Rated) HEPA vacuums. Then we use wetting agents to reduce the spread of asbestos-contaminated dust. 

Step 3 – Asbestos disposal

Council landfills no longer accept asbestos watse. HMG dispose of asbestos in accordance with local and federal regulations at one of the few private licenced landfills within the state: these dictate that asbestos must be taken to highly regulated processing facilities where it can be disposed of safely and securely. We carry the appropriate certificates for both removal and transport, so we can provide an end-to-end service. We prevent contamination during the removal process as well, with our diligent, safely-trained staff working in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations to deliver excellent results.

UNDERSTANDING THE DANGERS OF ASBESTOS

Before its health impacts were known or understood, asbestos was a widely used building material. It wasn’t until the 1990s that people began to fully understand the dangers of asbestos exposure and to legislate against its use in construction. Asbestos removal is still a work in progress across much of the nation – so you’re highly likely to have visited or lived in a building that needs or has needed asbestos removal at some point.

Asbestos that poses a risk to the population is now not permitted in any residential or commercial properties, according to Safe Work Australia rules and regulations. If you do discover or suspect hazardous asbestos, you have an obligation to get rid of it as quickly as you can through a licensed asbestos removal professional. The good news is that asbestos removal – when done properly and by licensed professionals – poses no danger to you or the occupants of your building.

WHY ASBESTOS REMOVAL IS IMPORTANT?

Once we have confirmed the existence of this hazardous chemical, we will provide the finest asbestos abatement service. Reach out to us and transfer the work right away.

FAQ

While it is generally not safe to remain within the structure during asbestos removal, we work as quickly and efficiently as possible to ensure your home or business is back to full operations with minimal interruption.

Friable asbestos is more likely to crumble and turn to powder, which makes it more dangerous: the risk of inhaling the powder is high. It's often found in insulation and sheet flooring. Non-friable asbestos is often found within a cement matrix, and is less likely to crumble: but this does not mean the danger is negligible.

When you engage with a qualified asbestos removalist team, the danger to you, your family, or your staff is minimised. You'll be able to move back into a safe space in no time.

If your building was built prior to the 1990s, there's a strong chance that it contains asbestos materials. Asbestos fibers are typically microscopic, ranging in size from 0.1 to 10 microns in length. A micron is one-millionth of a meter, making them too small to see with the naked eye. Our technicians use safe, scientifically rigorous testing methods that can detect asbestos without disturbing it. The safest course of action is to assume that your building does contain asbestos and to engage a licensed testing professional from HMG.

You must test for asbestos before you commence any renovation, demolition, or maintenance work on roofing, tiles, flooring, or outbuildings. It's also a good idea to test for asbestos if you see any signs of damage to your building – any signs of materials crumbling or flaking.

It's also a good idea to test if you're looking to purchase property: we can help with both asbestos testing and asbestos removal during this process.
