As a certified asbestos removal company, we visit Aalst and the surrounding area to safely remove asbestos, from pipe insulation to a complete asbestos roof.
If you own a house in Aalst built before 2001, there's a good chance there's asbestos somewhere. Sometimes it's clearly visible, such as a corrugated roof or a shed at the back of the garden. But often it's hidden. In the cellar, under the floor, or in the adhesive of an old vinyl floor. It's precisely these hidden applications that require a professional approach.
Credim is a licensed asbestos removal contractor and operates from Stabroek, but we regularly work in the Dender region. We know the houses from the '60s, '70s, and '80s that are common there. A typical job? The central heating pipe in the cellar, wrapped in white hessian cloth with a crumbly white layer underneath. Many homeowners think it's just plaster. Until a contractor takes a sample and it turns out to be asbestos. No need to panic, as long as you don't disturb it. But during a renovation or a leak, you want it dealt with properly. Removing asbestos pipe insulation is then a job for us.
Old vinyl floors also often turn up, especially in kitchens and utility rooms of houses from the '70s. The vinyl itself is usually not the problem, but the black bituminous adhesive underneath. It's brittle and may contain asbestos. If you try to scrape it off yourself, you risk releasing fibres into the air. We remove the floor together with the adhesive layer.
And then there are the roofs. Asbestos corrugated sheets on a garage or a canopy are immediately visible. They are often weathered, causing fibres to be released at the edges. Removing such sheets is an asbestos roof removal job that we carry out using the right technique, whether it's a small area or a full industrial roof.
How we proceed depends on the material and its condition. For a simple, firmly bonded sheet, a straightforward procedure may suffice. But as soon as the material is damaged or involves friable asbestos, we set up an airtight zone with negative pressure. That negative pressure is there to stop fibres from leaving the zone. We always work according to the three legally recognised techniques permitted by our licence.
The asbestos we remove is wrapped in airtight foil of at least 100 microns. So you don't have to take it to the recycling centre yourself. We arrange transport and disposal to a licensed processing facility.
Are you planning to insulate your roof? Then combine the asbestos removal with the insulation work. This way, you may qualify for a supplement under the Mijn VerbouwPremie (My Renovation Grant). The conditions change regularly, so check the current amount on mijnverbouwpremie.be. We can already tell you whether your asbestos qualifies for safe removal.
