If you have an asbestos-related problem, you should hire an asbestos professional with credentials, making sure to review them carefully.
- Ask them for their credentials and local and state laws accreditation
- Ask for their previous’ clients references to find out if they were happy
- Ask the firm about situations they may have faced similar to yours
- Ask each firm you’re reviewing for their cost estimates since charges can vary significantly
Homeowners need to be aware of asbestos firms claiming they can do something they can’t. There are several reports of firms that claim asbestos materials in a home should be replaced. In these cases, firms encouraged homeowners to remove the asbestos even when it was not called for or removed it improperly. This leads to homeowners wasting more money than they need to, and it raises the risk of health problems for your family.
You can protect yourself from any problems by knowing what services they have available and what the procedures to do the job right. On top of that, you should consider a flooring, roofing, plumbing contractor to deal with the asbestos in these areas, especially if the water system of the building is involved.
Flooring and roofing contractors tend to be exempt from local and state licensing requirements because they don’t do any asbestos-correction work.
