As a certified asbestos removal company, we visit all of Leuven and Flemish Brabant to safely remove asbestos, from pipe insulation to old roofs.
If you own a house in Leuven built before 2001, there's a good chance it contains asbestos somewhere. That doesn't have to be a problem as long as the material remains intact and you don't disturb it. But during a renovation, after a leak, or simply because you no longer want to see it, it has to go. And then you want it done properly.
Credim is a licensed asbestos removal contractor and works from Stabroek, but we regularly come to Leuven and the surrounding area. We know the typical asbestos applications in Leuven homes: the white, crumbly insulation around central heating pipes in cellars of houses from the 1960s and 1970s, old vinyl floors with their black adhesive layer, and the corrugated sheets on sheds or canopies that have been there for decades.
That whitish-grey, crumbly layer around your heating pipes is often asbestos. Usually there's a layer of jute fabric around it, which makes it look harmless. But as soon as you scratch or sand it, fibres are released. You can't determine by sight whether it's asbestos. A sample taken by an asbestos expert will give you a definitive answer. If it is asbestos, we remove it in a hermetic zone.
Old vinyl sheeting and tiles often contain an asbestos-containing backing layer. The real risk lies in the black bituminous adhesive underneath, especially when it becomes brittle. It's best not to disturb it yourself. Asbestos roofs and cladding, often corrugated sheets, are also still common on older homes and outbuildings. We remove them and dispose of the material in an airtight manner, as required.
We work tidily and in accordance with the regulations. Depending on the job, we set up an airtight zone with negative pressure, work with a glove bag, or carry out a simple operation. Everything we remove is wrapped in foil of at least 100 microns and taken to a licensed processing facility.
Are you unsure whether there's asbestos in your home, or do you know for sure and want it removed? We'd be happy to come by for a no-obligation site visit. We'll assess the situation, provide advice and a clear quote. That way you'll know exactly where you stand. Request your site visit via our contact page or call 09 396 64 56.
