Asbestos in Flood Damaged Buildings

Southern Counties Asbestos Limited are specialists in removing asbestos from flood damaged properties.

After flooding, the clean-up and renovation of a property is particularly hazardous as materials that have water damaged or been affected are often un-recogniseable or indeed not un-identifiable.

This of course includes asbestos materials that may have been concealed before the flooding but are now exposed or indeed damaged.

For example, asbestos insulating board (AIB) is difficuly enough sometimes in normal circumstances to identify the difference between say a type of building or plaster board. Once it has been submersed in flood water that identification process becomes even harder. Given the known dangers of asbestos insulating board (AIB) removing it without the proper protection in place is extreamly hazardous and should only be handled by experts such as ourselves with the correct protection, decontamination equipment and containment to dispose of it safely.

Asbestos made materials are even more dangerous after a flood as often the severity of the water damage has compromised the integrity of the surroundings or indeed in some cases the structure of the building.

In such cases an HSE approved and experienced asbestos company like ourselves need to survey the flood damaged property and remove any such materials that could be deemed as being made from asbestos.

We have had many years of experience and are fully trained and equipped to carry out this type of work in flood damaged properties.

Our teams arrive with full safety equipment including but not limited to: mobile decontamination units, breathing apparatus, and the appropriate personnel protection wear.

We even bring Volume Air Changing Systems that help dramatically to remove the damp smells and dry out the rooms affected.

We work with all the authorities after a building has been flooded to ensure that the property can be made safe as quickly and efficiently as possible without cutting any corners.

We are the experts in identifying asbestos made products within the debris of a flood damaged premises.
