Removing Friable Asbestos Ballina
Safe Asbestos Removals
Friable asbestos is a highly dangerous form of asbestos that can easily crumble when touched, releasing microscopic fibres into the air. These airborne fibres pose serious health risks, including lung disease, asbestosis, and mesothelioma. Friable asbestos is commonly found in insulation, sprayed coatings, and older building materials. Due to its unstable nature, it requires immediate attention and must only be handled by trained and licensed professionals. Ballina Demolitions specialises in the safe removal of friable asbestos, ensuring full compliance with industry regulations and safety standards. Trust our experienced team to protect your site, your health, and the surrounding environment.
How To Spot Friable Asbestos
Spotting friable asbestos involves recognising materials that are soft, crumbly, or powdery and easily damaged by hand. Common sources include pipe insulation, sprayed ceiling coatings, and old fireproofing materials. These materials may appear fluffy, white, or grey and may release dust when disturbed. If a material looks aged or deteriorated and the building was constructed before the late 1980s, it could contain friable asbestos. Never touch or disturb suspect materials. Instead, contact a licensed professional for inspection. Ballina Demolitions can assess your property and safely manage friable asbestos to protect your health and ensure regulatory compliance. Safety is our priority.
