  • What is asbestos, and why is it dangerous?

    Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction materials due to its heat resistance and durability. However, when asbestos fibers are inhaled, they can cause serious health issues such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. This makes it highly dangerous, especially during construction, renovation, and demolition, where the fibers become airborne. If you need asbestos removal in San Diego, CA, San Diego Abatement Services specializes in safe and professional asbestos abatement to protect your home or business from hazardous exposure.

  • How do I know if my home contains asbestos or lead?

    From our industry experience, asbestos and lead were commonly used in buildings constructed before the 1980s. Asbestos was especially common in acoustic ceilings, drywall mud, flooring, pipe materials, roofing, and more. In fact, asbestos exposure is the #1 cause of work-related deaths in the world, according to The Mesothelioma Center. Lead-based paint was used on a variety of painted surfaces. If you have an older home and are unsure whether it contains asbestos or lead, it is recommended to be tested by an environmental consultant. If results turn positive, we are readily available for your abatement needs. We also specialize in black mold remediation in San Diego, CA, ensuring a safe and healthy environment for your home or business.

  • What should I do if I need to remove asbestos from my property?

    Give us a call! Asbestos removal should only be carried out by licensed professionals due to the health risks and regulations involved.

  • What is the difference between stabilizing lead paint and abating it, and which option is safer?

    Stabilizing lead paint involves sealing or encapsulating the painted surfaces to prevent the lead dust or chips from becoming airborne, which is a practical, less invasive approach when the surfaces are still in salvageable condition. On the other hand, lead abatement requires complete removal of the lead-containing material. Removal should always be done by certified professionals to ensure proper containment and disposal of hazardous materials. Both methods have their place. Give us a call to find out which is right for you. In addition to lead abatement, we also offer a mold removal service in San Diego, CA to ensure your property remains safe and healthy.
