Asbestos Services

ZR Environmental provides expert asbestos services to ensure your property is safe, compliant, and free from this hazardous material.

What is Abatement?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of silicate minerals made up of fine, durable fibers that are resistant to heat, fire, and many chemicals. It was widely used in construction, automotive, and industrial applications for its strength and insulating properties.

What Is Asbestos Testing, Removal & Disposal?

Asbestos testing, removal, and disposal involve the identification, safe extraction, and lawful disposal of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from properties. Once widely used in construction due to its durability and heat resistance, asbestos is now recognized as a serious health hazard. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and cause severe respiratory diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.

Breakdown of Asbestos Services

Report and Recommendations: A detailed report is provided, outlining the presence of asbestos and offering a plan for removal or management.

Asbestos Removal
