ASBESTOS

What is asbestos?  Asbestos is the name given to a number of naturally occurring fibrous minerals with high tensile strength, the ability to be woven, and resistance to heat and most chemicals. Because of these properties, asbestos fibers have been used in a wide range of manufactured goods, including roofing shingles, ceiling and floor tiles, paper and cement products, textiles, coatings, and friction products such as automobile clutch, brake and transmission parts. The Toxic Substances Control Act defines asbestos as the asbestiform varieties of: chrysotile (serpentine); crocidolite (riebeckite); amosite (cummingtonite/grunerite); anthophyllite; tremolite; and actinolite.

One major effect

MESOTHELIOMA - Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that is found in the thin lining (membrane) of the lung, chest, abdomen, and heart and almost all cases are linked to exposure to asbestos. This disease may not show up until many years after asbestos exposure. This is why great efforts are being made to prevent school children from being exposed.

DUCT CLEANING

Why do you need duct cleaning?  According to the EPA, Home owners need to have their units ducts cleaned every year especially if there is a noticable dirt buildup, on top of regular filter changes, and if there is substantial and visible mold growth inside the ducts even though the appliances are well maintained.

Duct cleaning process in a nutshell - Our special negative air pressure machine will be connected to the air duct nearest to the furnace.  Various tools (we never use a rotor brush) that adapt to the shape of the duct are used to dislodge contaminants and debris; these objects are collected into the attached container.  Clean air is filtered through a HEPA filtration system, removing 99.9% of particles.  All access holes are resealed, returning the duct system to its original condition.

Video inspection

Air Quality provides our clients thorough video inspections for ducting, AC units, dryer vent pipes, flue vent pipes.  Our expert analysis will provide sufficient on the spot in order to provide a better picture of your duct condition and spots mold bacteria and/ or repairs.
