Understanding the Risks of Asbestos Exposure
What Is Asbestos and Where Is It Found?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once used in construction materials due to its heat resistance and insulating properties. It is commonly found in insulation, ceiling tiles, pipe coverings, flooring, roofing shingles, and cement products in buildings constructed before the 1980s. While asbestos is no longer used in most modern construction, many older structures still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that pose a risk if disturbed.
When these materials are damaged or deteriorate, asbestos fibers can be released into the air. Inhalation of these fibers is the primary cause of asbestos-related health conditions, making professional asbestos removal and remediation essential for any property with known or suspected asbestos.
Health Risks Associated with Asbestos: Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer, and More
Asbestos exposure is linked to several serious health conditions. The most well-known illnesses include mesothelioma, a rare cancer affecting the lining of the lungs and abdomen, and asbestosis, a chronic lung disease caused by inhaled asbestos fibers. Long-term exposure can also lead to lung cancer and other respiratory issues.
The risk increases significantly when asbestos is disturbed without proper containment or removal procedures. Even short-term exposure in enclosed spaces can be harmful. This is why asbestos abatement should always be handled by certified professionals who understand the proper protocols for safe remediation.
Who Is Most at Risk: Homeowners, Workers, and Schoolchildren
Certain groups face a higher risk of asbestos exposure. Homeowners living in older properties may unknowingly disturb asbestos during DIY projects. Construction workers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and maintenance staff may encounter asbestos during routine repairs or demolition. In schools and public buildings, children and staff may be exposed if asbestos-containing materials are not properly managed.
Licensed asbestos removal and remediation help reduce these risks by ensuring all materials are safely identified, contained, and removed in compliance with safety standards. Precision Environmental Services collaborates with property owners, contractors, and facility managers to develop and implement effective abatement strategies that safeguard all occupants.
Signs You May Need Asbestos Removal and Remediation Services
Common Asbestos-Containing Materials in Older Structures
Asbestos can be found in many building components, particularly in structures built before 1980. Common asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) include:
- Pipe and duct insulation
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Textured ceiling coatings (popcorn ceilings)
- Roofing materials
- Cement siding and panels
- Fireproofing sprays and wall insulation
These materials may not pose a hazard when left undisturbed. However, once damaged, aged, or disturbed during renovations or demolition, they can release harmful asbestos fibers into the air. If your property includes any of these materials and is undergoing maintenance, remodeling, or structural repairs, it’s important to consult an asbestos professional.
Warning Signs in Homes, Commercial Buildings, and Public Institutions
While asbestos is not always visible, there are certain indicators that suggest the presence of asbestos-containing materials:
- Crumbling insulation or ceiling texture
- Water-damaged ceiling or wall panels in older buildings
- Loose or broken vinyl tiles
- A history of construction before the mid-1980s
- Lack of prior asbestos inspection reports
Buildings such as schools, office complexes, hospitals, and apartment buildings may contain asbestos in concealed areas, including attics, boiler rooms, and crawl spaces. Property managers and institutional administrators should regularly evaluate these buildings for asbestos risks.
When to Call an Asbestos Professional
Professional asbestos removal and remediation should be considered if:
- You are planning renovations in an older property
- Asbestos-containing materials have been disturbed or damaged
- You are buying or selling a building that may contain asbestos
- Tenants or employees have raised health or safety concerns
- Required by law or local codes for compliance
Precision Environmental Services offers licensed asbestos inspections and abatement plans that comply with all applicable regulatory requirements. Early identification and removal are critical to preventing exposure and ensuring the safety of building occupants.
Our Step-by-Step Asbestos Removal and Remediation Process
Professional asbestos removal and remediation involve more than just eliminating visible materials. It requires a structured process to identify, contain, remove, and verify that all asbestos has been safely addressed. Precision Environmental Services follows industry best practices to ensure safety and regulatory compliance at every stage.
Step 1: Asbestos Inspection and Testing
The process begins with a thorough site assessment by a licensed asbestos inspector. Suspected asbestos-containing materials are sampled and analyzed in an accredited laboratory. This confirms the presence of asbestos and determines the type and concentration, which guides the scope of remediation.
The inspection also identifies areas of potential fiber release due to aging, water damage, or physical disturbance. Based on these findings, a customized asbestos abatement plan is developed in accordance with state and federal guidelines.

Step 2: Site Preparation and Containment
Before removal begins, the work area is isolated and contained using plastic sheeting, negative air pressure machines, and HEPA filtration systems. This prevents the spread of airborne asbestos fibers to unaffected parts of the building.
Access is restricted to authorized personnel only. All workers wear proper protective equipment (PPE) and follow decontamination procedures before entering or leaving the containment zone.
Step 3: Safe Asbestos Removal by Certified Technicians
Licensed asbestos abatement technicians carefully remove the identified materials using methods that minimize the release of dust and fibers. Wet removal techniques are typically used to suppress airborne particles. Depending on the materials involved, sections of drywall, flooring, insulation, or ceiling tiles may be removed and sealed in leak-tight containers for disposal.
The work is performed under strict supervision, ensuring compliance with OSHA, EPA, and Texas DSHS regulations.
Step 4: Air Quality Testing and Final Clearance
Once removal is complete, the area is thoroughly cleaned using HEPA vacuums and wet wiping procedures. Independent air sampling may be conducted to verify that airborne asbestos fiber levels are within safe limits. This step is required for most regulated projects before the area can be reoccupied.
A final visual inspection is performed to ensure all asbestos-containing materials have been removed and no residual contamination remains.
Step 5: Disposal and Restoration of the Affected Area
All asbestos waste is transported to an approved disposal facility in accordance with federal and state environmental laws. A waste manifest is provided for documentation and compliance purposes.
After safe disposal, the affected area is restored as needed. This may include installing new insulation, replacing wall panels, or returning the space to its original condition, depending on the extent of removal.
Asbestos Removal and Remediation for Specific Property Types
Asbestos is found in a wide variety of structures, and the approach to asbestos removal and remediation must be tailored to the specific type of property. Precision Environmental Services provides solutions for residential, commercial, and institutional clients throughout North Texas, ensuring that each project meets safety requirements and complies with all applicable legal obligations.
Residential Asbestos Abatement: Ensuring a Safe Home Environment

Why Licensed Asbestos Removal and Remediation Matters
Licensed asbestos removal and remediation is not only a best practice—it’s a legal requirement in many situations. Engaging a certified asbestos contractor ensures the safety of all occupants and protects property owners, contractors, and managers from serious liabilities.
Compliance with OSHA, EPA, and Texas DSHS Regulations
Federal and state laws mandate strict procedures for handling asbestos. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) all mandate that only licensed professionals perform asbestos abatement activities.
Noncompliance can result in regulatory fines, legal claims, and increased health risks. Precision Environmental Services adheres to all current asbestos regulations, ensuring each project is documented, monitored, and completed within the scope of applicable laws.
The Legal and Financial Risks of DIY or Unlicensed Removal
Attempting to remove asbestos without proper training or certification is dangerous and illegal in many jurisdictions. Unlicensed asbestos removal can:
- Release hazardous fibers into the air
- Void insurance coverage
- Create liability for health claims from tenants or workers
- Result in project delays due to regulatory violations
Property owners may be held responsible for improper abatement, even if the work was subcontracted to an unlicensed provider. Using a licensed asbestos remediation company, such as Precision Environmental, reduces risk and ensures that all required steps are followed.
