As a certified asbestos removal company, we safely remove asbestos from homes in Lier and the Nete region.
If you buy or renovate a house in Lier, you will sooner or later come across asbestos. Not surprisingly: many homes in the historic city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods date from before 2001. Asbestos is then hidden in places you wouldn't immediately think of. Think of the crumbling white layer around central heating pipes in the cellar of a terraced house from the 1960s, or the backing of a vinyl floor covering in the kitchen. The corrugated roof of a garage or canopy is also often asbestos-containing.
As long as that material remains intact, the risk is limited. But as soon as you start drilling, sanding or breaking it, fibres are released. And you don't want to inhale those. That's why it's important to have asbestos removed safely. Asbestos removal is not a job for the DIY enthusiast, especially not when it concerns damaged or friable material.
In Lier, we mainly see three types of asbestos application in our projects.
Firstly, there is asbestos pipe insulation. In cellars of houses built up to the 1980s, there is often a white-grey, crumbly layer around the heating pipes. Sometimes it is still wrapped in jute cloth. It looks like ordinary plaster, but it is asbestos. Removing asbestos pipe insulation is something we do as standard in a hermetic zone.
In addition, many homes in Lier still have old vinyl floors. These can have an asbestos-containing backing, and the black bituminous adhesive underneath is also often asbestos-containing. Especially that brittle adhesive layer is a risk. Removing asbestos in vinyl floors requires an approach where the floor is rolled up in one piece and the adhesive is removed using special techniques.
Finally, there are asbestos roofs. Corrugated sheets on a garage, shed or garden house are not uncommon in Lier. Are the sheets still intact and have they been there for years? Then a simple operation may suffice. But with damaged or weathered sheets, we set up a hermetic zone. Removing asbestos roofs is always done according to best practice.
As a certified asbestos removal contractor, we work in Lier with three legally required techniques. Which one we use depends on the material and its condition. A simple operation is sometimes sufficient for bonded sheets. For pipe insulation or damaged asbestos, we set up a hermetic zone with negative pressure.
After removal, we package the asbestos airtight in foil of at least 100 microns. We arrange the disposal completely: we ensure that the asbestos is disposed of in the correct manner. You don't have to go to the recycling centre yourself.
