Asbestos

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals used in building materials and brake shoes. The inhalation of asbestos fibers can cause serious diseases of the lungs and other organs that may not appear until years after the exposure has occurred.  Exposure occurs when disturbance of asbestos containing materials (ACM) occurs during renovation or demolition of residential or commercial properties.  People are often exposed through contact by deteriorating ACM’s in the home or work place as well.

PES is experienced in all types of asbestos abatement including encapsulation, enclosure, removal and disposal. Asbestos services have been performed in commercial buildings, government and institutional buildings, schools, hospitals, industrial facilities as well as residential properties.
