Asbestos Abatement
Licensed and Experienced in Expert Asbestos Restoration for all types of buildings
Asbestos in Property Restoration
Asbestos was widely used in building materials until 1980, meaning many older properties may contain these hazardous substances. During demolition or restoration, asbestos can become airborne if not handled correctly. It's essential to assess the area carefully and implement containment measures before proceeding with any restoration or reconstruction to avoid health risks and legal issues.
Health Risks and Safety Protocols for Asbestos
Asbestos poses severe health risks due to its carcinogenic properties, which can lead to respiratory diseases and cancers. At WeDry USA, we follow strict safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), multilayer containment structures to filter air, and Aerospace-grade negative pressure air machines with HEPA filters. All asbestos debris is safely disposed of in designated landfills to prevent any environmental contamination.

Importance of Professional Asbestos Abatement
Choosing the right contractor for asbestos abatement is crucial. Not all contractors or handymen are equipped or legally certified to handle asbestos, which can lead to improper handling and increased costs due to secondary contamination and additional remediation requirements.
Each asbestos abatement scenario requires a tailored approach depending on the type of damage, whether from water, fire, or mold. The protocols must be adjusted to ensure that the abatement process is thorough and complies with legal standards, providing a safe environment without compromising the structure's integrity.

Frequently Asked Asbestos Abatement Questions
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Most homeowners insurance and property insurance policies cover "sudden and accidental" water damage that happens. For example, a burst water pipe or appliance leak. The other key factor is if the water is from inside your home or outside of your home. Sometimes, water damage from water coming outside of your home won't be covered.
Water damage that happens slowly over time, like a small leak from a toilet or sink, is not always covered by your policy. However, working with an expert can help you determine what your insurance is and is not responsible for covering.
Does renters insurance cover water damage?
It is common for standard renters insurance policies to cover you for damaged belongings caused by "sudden and accidental" water damage.
Most renters insurance policies DO NOT include coverage for "flooding".
Who do you call for water damage?
When your home has experienced water damage, call a professional water extraction or water remediation company, like WeDry USA! With professional experience and equipment, we can help you make sure your home or property is 100% dried out and restored.
How long does water remediation take?
Water remediation can take anywhere from 48 hours to a full 7 days to completely dry out your property from standing water, flooding or water damage.
Water damage to your property can start within 1 hour, which is why it is important to call in professionals ASAP.
How to fix water damaged ceiling?
You can fix a water damaged ceiling by simply painting over it, so long as the drywall or material is not damaged, sagging and completely dry.
If your water damaged ceiling is still wet or damaged, it needs to be dried (if savable) or pulled down and replaced.
