When a homeowner discovered asbestos in their property, the safety of their family and the integrity of their home were at risk. At Impact Site Services, our certified team stepped in to conduct a professional asbestos removal project that not only ensured a safe environment but also restored peace of mind. Here’s a detailed look at our process, the challenges we faced, and the successful outcome of this real-life case study.

The Challenge

A homeowner in Melbourne recently discovered deteriorating asbestos-containing material in their aging property. The asbestos was hidden behind wall cladding and had started to show signs of wear, increasing the risk of fiber release. Key challenges included:

  • Hidden Contamination: The asbestos was not immediately visible and required a detailed inspection.

  • Accessibility Issues: The affected areas were in confined spaces, making safe removal more difficult.

  • Health and Safety Risks: Preventing the spread of asbestos fibers during the removal process was critical to protect the household.

Our Step-by-Step Approach

1. Comprehensive Inspection and Assessment

Our certified asbestos assessors were the first to visit the property. They:

  • Conducted a thorough visual and laboratory analysis to confirm the presence and condition of asbestos.

  • Documented the affected areas with detailed photos and notes.

  • Developed a customized removal plan tailored to the unique challenges of the property.

2. Safe Area Isolation and Preparation

To minimize the risk of asbestos fibers becoming airborne, our team:

  • Sealed off the work area using specialized containment barriers and plastic sheeting.

  • Ensured that all occupants and pets were safely removed from the vicinity.

  • Implemented strict air quality controls to protect both the homeowner and our workers.

3. Professional Asbestos Removal

With safety as our top priority, our licensed asbestos removalists:

  • Employed advanced techniques and specialized equipment to carefully remove the deteriorated asbestos.

  • Used wet methods and HEPA-filtered vacuums to capture and contain any released fibers.

  • Ensured that all debris was double-bagged and transported to a licensed disposal facility.

4. Post-Removal Clearance and Monitoring

After the removal:

  • A final clearance inspection and air quality test were conducted to ensure that no asbestos fibers remained.

  • A clearance certificate was issued, confirming the property’s safety.

  • Our team provided a comprehensive report outlining the work performed and offering recommendations for future monitoring.

Before-and-After Results

The transformation was remarkable. The property’s interior, once at risk of harmful asbestos exposure, was restored to a safe and clean state.
Before: Deteriorated wall cladding with visible signs of wear and potential asbestos fiber release.
After: The area was completely cleared of hazardous materials, fully decontaminated, and now meets all safety standards.
