What’s Involved in Asbestos Removal and Disposal?
From floors to walls, ceilings and roofs, asbestos was once a widely used building material that’s still present in thousands of buildings, including an estimated third of Australian homes.
While it’s only dangerous if broken or damaged and fibres become airborne, once disturbed, asbestos can be a killer.
Weathering, renovating and accidental damage can expose dangerous asbestos fibres. They can spread to other parts of a building, putting the health of occupants at risk. Safe removal is the key to minimising the asbestos risk.
P & D Envirotech are highly experienced, insured and licensed asbestos removalists. With more than 20 years of experience, our team can ensure the safe and compliant removal of asbestos from your home or business.

Asbestos in Aussie Homes
Before you embark on a renovation or home improvement, call P & D Envirotech for an asbestos inspection and testing to ensure you’re not putting your family’s health and safety at risk.
Asbestos isn’t just found in wall sheeting; asbestos is often found in homes built before 1990, and it had a variety of uses. It can be found in floor tile adhesive, carpet underlay, downpipes, and even window putty.

FAQs
How can I tell if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by looking at or tapping a material. Testing by a licensed assessor is the only way to determine if your property contains asbestos.
How is asbestos removed safely?
There are several steps in the safe removal of asbestos:
1. Inspection and testing
2. Preparing for abatement (removal)
3. Sealing the work area off
4. Removal and disposal
5. Clean-up and air and material testing
What are the costs involved in asbestos removal?
The cost of asbestos removal depends largely on the amount of asbestos you need to be removed, how easily the material can be accessed and where it is located.
Can asbestos removal be covered by insurance?
Insurance companies do not normally cover the cost of asbestos removal. This can be particularly problematic if your home is damaged by fire, hail or flooding. The homeowner is often liable for additional remediation and demolition costs themselves.
How long does the asbestos removal process take?
How long asbestos removal takes will vary for each project. It depends on how much preparation is required, how much asbestos needs to be removed and the ease with which the material can be accessed.
