Certified asbestos removal company for Mechelen and the surrounding area. We safely remove asbestos, from roof to cellar.
Mechelen has a rich history, but it also has a downside. Many homes in the region were built before 2001 and contain asbestos. Often it is hidden in places you wouldn't immediately look: around old heating pipes, under vinyl flooring, or in the corrugated sheets of a canopy. If you don't recognise it, it can remain unnoticed for decades. Until you start renovating or get a leak. Then it comes to light and needs to be removed quickly and correctly.
Credim is a licensed asbestos removal contractor and also operates in Mechelen. From Stabroek we are quickly at your doorstep, whether you live in the centre or in a sub-municipality such as Battel or Heffen. We work throughout Flanders, but for Mechelen: we know the typical homes and their pitfalls.
In the city centre and neighbourhoods from the 1950s to the 1980s, we regularly come across the same situations. One of these is asbestos around pipes. That crumbly, white or grey layer around central heating pipes in the cellar is not ordinary plaster. Often there is still a white jute cloth around it. As long as you don't touch it, the risk is limited. But during a renovation or a leak, you want it removed professionally.
Old vinyl floors are also a classic. Especially in utility rooms and hallways from the 1960s and 1970s. The vinyl itself is usually not the problem, but the black bituminous adhesive underneath. That brittle layer can contain asbestos. It is precisely that brittleness that makes it risky. It is one of the reasons why we always handle asbestos-containing vinyl floors with the necessary precautions.
Then there are the roofs. Corrugated sheets of sheds, carports, or old boiler rooms. In Mechelen, you still see them surprisingly often. If they are undamaged, the risk is limited. But if they are deteriorating or need replacing, asbestos dust is released. Removing an asbestos roof is then not a job for the DIY enthusiast, but for someone who knows what they are doing.
First, we come for a site visit. We look at where the asbestos is and what condition it is in. Then we choose the right technique. For bonded material with little risk, a simple action may suffice. For damaged or friable asbestos, we set up a sealed zone with negative pressure.
All asbestos is packed airtight in foil of at least 100 microns. Then we transport it ourselves to a licensed processing facility. You don't have to go to the recycling centre; we take care of that.
