Yankee Fiber Control has the expertise and technology to remove asbestos from a wide range of buildings and structures while strictly observing all mandated safety guidelines. We use a variety of cost-effective methods to remove asbestos contaminated materials efficiently with minimal disruption to daily operations and without risk to human health or the environment.

Yankee experts will evaluate your specific asbestos removal needs and develop an appropriate abatement plan to be performed in a fully contained negative-pressure environment that releases no asbestos fibers into the air. We utilize advanced diesel-powered HEPA-filtered vacuum systems, which allow us to remove up to 18 tons of asbestos waste an hour, in conjunction with other techniques that may include: low-volume pressure washing (10,000psi), UHP water jetting (40,000psi), or contained specialty blasting.

Our automated TileLift equipment provides a cost-effective mechanical means of removing vinyl asbestos floor tiles. This system employs infrared/radiant heat to soften the tile and the mastic-bonding agent underneath so that tiles gently peel off the floor intact. Since removal of intact vinyl asbestos tiles is not regulated, it can be performed without costly containment procedures and, depending on the state, without waiting for regulatory notification.

Asbestos exposure is hazardous and poses major health concerns although symptoms may not appear for 10-40 years. There is no known “safe level” of exposure however; the risk of contracting an asbestos related illness is higher with greater and longer exposure. There are three major diseases associated with exposure to asbestos:

• Asbestosis – A lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibers which results in irritation and scarring of the lungs, eventually effecting lung function.
• Lung Cancer – People with long-term exposure to high levels of asbestos are particularly susceptible to cancer of the lungs and gastrointestinal tract.
• Mesothelioma – A rare form of cancer that normally effects the lungs and is almost-always caused by exposure to asbestos. For more information on Mesothleioma please visit www.mesotheliomahelp.net.
