Should you have the asbestos in your property removed?
Asbestos abatement is crucial because exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Dealing with asbestos safely removes these hazardous materials from your environment.
Is asbestos abatement expensive?
Asbestos abatement requires specialized training, equipment, and safety measures. The process involves careful removal, containment, and disposal to prevent health hazards. Plus, regulations are strict, adding to the complexity and cost. It’s about ensuring everyone’s safety. However, it may not be as costly as you think.

Do you have to remove asbestos?
Not always. Asbestos doesn’t have to be removed if it’s in good condition and not disturbed; it can be left in place and managed. However, if it’s damaged or in a location where it’s likely to be disturbed, removal or encapsulation might be necessary. Decisions are typically based on the condition of the asbestos and the potential risk of exposure.
Excelsior will work with you to develop the right plan for you and your needs.
What is lead abatement?
Lead abatement refers to the process of reducing or eliminating lead-based paint hazards. This can involve various methods, such as removing lead-based paint, encapsulating it with a sealant, or enclosing it with a durable barrier. Lead is a toxic metal that can cause numerous health problems, particularly in children, including cognitive impairment, developmental delays, and other serious medical issues. Effective lead abatement ensures that these hazards are safely managed and removed, creating a healthier living environment.
If my house is newer, should I have lead based paint?
If your house was built after 1978, it is less likely to have lead-based paint, as its use was banned in residential properties that year. However, if your home is older, there is a higher chance that lead-based paint was used. It’s always a good idea to have an inspection to ensure that your living environment is safe.
If I do not have children, should I have lead based paint removed?
The decision to remove lead-based paint should not solely depend on whether you have children. Lead is a toxic substance that can pose health risks to people of all ages. Adults can also experience adverse health effects, such as high blood pressure, kidney damage, and reproductive issues. Therefore, if you suspect or know that your home has lead-based paint, it’s wise to assess the condition and potential risks. Consulting with a lead abatement professional, like those at Excelsior, can help you make an informed decision about the best course of action for your specific situation.
Is lead abatement expensive?
The cost of lead abatement can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the area being treated, the extent of the contamination, and the method used for abatement. Generally, it can be quite expensive, with costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars. However, it’s important to consider the long-term benefits of lead abatement, including improved health and safety for all occupants and potential increases in property value. Consulting with a professional lead abatement company, like Excelsior, can provide you with a more accurate estimate and help you weigh the costs against the benefits.
