Asbestos Surveys NJ

Even though asbestos was made illegal four decades ago, there are still many structures remaining with the toxic materials. Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell if a substance is composed of asbestos simply by looking at it. Testing must be done. If you suspect that a floor, wall or ceiling may be made of asbestos, A Mac Contracting Inc is a professional company that provides asbestos surveys in NJ.

Asbestos is very harmful. It is strongly advised that if you have asbestos in your home or business to call a professional and not try to remove it by yourself. Here are some facts about asbestos:

  • Asbestos is mined from a group of thin and strong naturally fibrous minerals.
  • There are several types of asbestos, including Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Tremolite, Anthophyllite and Actinolite.
  • Although all forms of asbestos are considered to be dangerous, more forms of cancer and Mesothelioma have been linked to Chrysotile than any other form.
  • Asbestos is mined from the ground using an open-pit method. It originally resembles coarse wood and is refined into fluffy fibers. Most asbestos is found in Canada, South Africa, Australia and former Soviet Union countries.
