Certified Asbestos Abatement Services
Up until roughly 50 years ago, asbestos was widely used to manufacture building materials. Although not widely used anymore, it is still permitted and used in some building products. In fact, its high tensile strength, fire-resistant nature, and the fact that it was easily integrated into other building materials made it a very attractive option. However, the results of several large studies during the ’60s and ’70s showed just how dangerous prolonged exposure to this material was. Now, the major push is for safe asbestos abatement and asbestos removal services.
Asbestos needs to be removed by trained and certified professionals in order to prevent further contamination while removing any asbestos-containing materials from your property. For that reason, if you have any concerns that your property may have asbestos, call France & Co. for a free inspection.

Asbestos Removal Process
When you call France & Co. for help with asbestos removal, we will respond immediately by testing and inspecting the entire suspected area to ensure that we do not miss any possible spots that might contain asbestos.
As soon as a plan has been agreed to, our team of technicians will immediately begin the asbestos removal process. First we inform the responsible environmental agencies about the removal process. Then we set up a containment barrier around the affected area and carefully start the removal.
Because exposure to asbestos is a health hazard, the disposal of any asbestos containing materials can only be deposited in governmentally approved locations. We handle all of the asbestos waste disposal, ensuring that no accidental pollution happens.

Health Risks Of Asbestos Exposure
By now it is common knowledge that exposure to asbestos-contaminated materials is dangerous. What many don’t know is what the actual health risks of asbestos exposure are. The main risks associated with asbestos exposure include:
- Asbestosis – a serious, chronic, non-cancerous respiratory disease. This condition can be fatal.
- Various cancers – most frequently lung cancer, have been reported.
With that said, exposure time and quantities play a role in the possible development of these conditions. Contacting France & Co. will help to immediately mitigate these risks.
Asbestos Abatement FAQs
Asbestos was widely used in building materials until ~50 years ago for its strength and fire resistance. Studies in the 1960s–70s revealed that prolonged exposure causes serious health conditions including asbestosis (a potentially fatal respiratory disease) and lung cancer.
Asbestos is commonly found in pre-1980s buildings in materials such as acoustical/popcorn ceilings, pipe insulation, floor tiles and mastics, old boilers, and other building products. If your property is older and you’re planning renovations or demolition, call France & Co. for a free inspection before disturbing any materials.
