Rocky Mountain Environmental Associates Inc. offers Idaho Falls environmental services including thorough asbestos inspections in Idaho Falls. Asbestos inspections are very important because asbestos can cause a chronic lung disease, asbestosis, as well as mesothelioma and other cancers. Owners of property need to know if their structure contains asbestos in the building materials, especially if the structure is going to be demolished and the debris hauled to a landfill. If the building is going to continue to be used, the owner definitely needs to know that it is safe for family, employees, and customers.
Asbestos refers to six silicate minerals that are naturally occurring. They are composed of thin and long fibrous crystals with each fiber composed of multiple microscopic ‘fibrils’ that are released into the atmosphere by processes including abrasion. Because asbestos is a well-known health hazard, use of asbestos as a building material is banned in many countries. Property owners can contact Rocky Mountain Environmental for asbestos inspections in Idaho Falls to know whether their structure contains asbestos.
It is difficult for a homeowner to ascertain whether blown-in insulation in the attic is harmless cellulose created from recycled paper or whether it contains asbestos. Zonolite, another material found in walls and attics, has a mica-like shine and a silver-gold or gray-brown color and might be a loose-fill asbestos insulation, which was an ancestor to today’s fiberglass insulation. Other places that asbestos can lurk throughout a structure are the following: floor tiles, sheet vinyl flooring, wallboard, popcorn ceilings, heating pipe insulation wrap, roofing tiles and flashing, ceiling cavities, and many more.
