Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once credited for its versatility, heat resistance, tensile strength and insulating properties. It was used for everything from fire-proof vests to home and commercial construction. It was also woven into fabric and mixed with cement. It has since been discovered that asbestos possesses several health risks including cancer and respiratory problems. Many older properties may contain asbestos in ceilings, insulation, or tiles.
Summit is certified to test for, and safely remove asbestos from your property in compliance to health and safety standards.
Mold is part of our natural environment and can be found indoors and outdoors. There are over 100,000 different types of mold, but not all molds are a threat. Some are fairly benign and some can cause health problems if it continues to grow and spread. Molds found in homes are usually fairly harmless, and don't cause serious illness, but can be cause for concern if an individual has allergies or asthma. Molds, such as black mold, can release toxic spores that can easily get into your system and cause health problems if not addressed properly. Not only can mold cause health issues, but it can grow rapidly and cause damage to your home. Summit's crews are trained to deal with the different types of mold, and they will properly take care of the mold to prevent further damage to your home, and health.
