Acoustic Asbestos Ceiling Removal
So you have an acoustic asbestos ceiling, but you don’t want it
anymore because:

that are difficult to remove; and 2) it discolors with age. You want to remove
it. What can you do?

The solution is simple –
remove the entire asbestos ceiling. An acoustic asbestos ceiling removal
should do the trick.
However, before you jump at the first opportunity to remove that
hideous-looking ceiling, note that some older ceilings of houses dating back to
circa 1950 and every year before 1970 may contain asbestos, a kind of mineral
that has been identified as a contaminant causing cancer and various other lung
disorders.

It is literally impossible to try to determine if your ceiling has
asbestos just by looking at it. In order to find out if your ceiling indeed
contains asbestos, it is important to first perform an asbestos check before
deciding on an acoustic asbestos ceiling removal. And even if the asbestos test
comes out negative, it never hurts to add extra precaution in acoustic asbestos
ceiling removal:
· Wear a
respirator. Asbestos is very easily airborne and inhaling the fibers of this
mineral could cause it to enter the lungs, causing damage and eventually
cancer.
· Wear eye
protection. Although asbestos diseases are usually caused by inhaling, it is
doubtless that the mere exposure (of skin, of eyes) to asbestos fibers can
cause some unpleasant effects. Asbestos warts are one example of
asbestos-related disease caused by exposure of the skin to the mineral.
· Inform everyone
in the house that you’ll be doing an acoustic asbestos ceiling removal. This is
so that they can keep their distance and minimize the risk of exposure to
members of your family.

After taking the appropriate safety procedures in acoustic asbestos
ceiling removal, it is now time for you to consider the steps of the actual
removal process.
How to Remove
An acoustic asbestos ceiling removal is a delicate process. That is why
it is usually left to the devices of licensed contractors to properly and
safely remove asbestos containing materials from the ceiling. Still, for a
successful acoustic asbestos ceiling removal, this involves wetting the
ceiling’s surface.
You might ask why you have to wet the ceiling first. The reason for this
is so that any asbestos fibers contained in the ceiling material do not become
airborne and cause a hazard. You cannot see asbestos fibers; they are 1,200
times smaller than human hair, so you won’t really know if the fibers are
airborne or not. But as a health precaution, wet the ceiling surface before
attempting any acoustic asbestos ceiling removal.
