Frequently Asked Questions – Asbestos Removal South Melbourne
If your home was built before 1990, asbestos testing is crucial. You should test before starting renovations, when buying an older property, or if you discover suspicious materials. Asbestos can hide in walls, ceilings, eaves, roofing, vinyl flooring and adhesives. Licensed professionals should conduct testing rather than attempting visual identification.
Friable asbestos can be crumbled by hand and poses higher risk of releasing airborne fibres. Non-friable asbestos is bonded in solid matrices like cement sheeting but becomes hazardous if cut or drilled. Both types require professional handling and appropriate removal procedures.
Costs depend on building age, asbestos location, material type and quantity. Older buildings require more care, and commercial settings may be more expensive. A site visit is needed for accurate assessment and reliable pricing. Contact PROAS with photos or plans for a phone discussion before scheduling an inspection.
DIY removal of non-friable asbestos under 10 square meters is legally allowed, but professional removal is recommended for health and safety compliance. Licensed asbestos removalists follow WorkSafe Victoria codes and Australian Standards, minimising health risks and ensuring proper disposal at licensed landfills.
