What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals composed of microscopic, heat-resistant, chemical-resistant fibers. Construction and manufacturing industries used asbestos for insulation, fireproofing, and durability between 1900 and 1980. Inhaling asbestos fibers causes lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma over 10-40 years of exposure.
Older homes and industrial buildings in Aurora, CO still contain asbestos in insulation, flooring, and roofing materials. Three types exist: Chrysotile (White), Amosite (Brown), and Crocidolite (Blue). Apex Damage Restoration identifies and removes all three types under CDPHE compliance standards.
Types Of Asbestos You Can Find in Your Property
The three main types of asbestos commonly found in properties are Chrysotile (White), Amosite (Brown), and Crocidolite (Blue). These asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) appear most often in properties built before 1990. Builders used asbestos for insulation, fire resistance, and construction durability. Chrysotile appears in flooring and cement products. Amosite appears in insulating boards and pipe insulation. Crocidolite appears in spray-on insulation and fire protection boards.
Each type requires professional identification and testing before removal, since disturbing ACMs releases airborne fibers. Apex Damage Restoration conducts certified asbestos inspection and testing on every property type in Aurora, CO.
Chrysotile (White)
Chrysotile is the most common type of asbestos found in Aurora, CO properties, with curly, flexible fibers. Builders used Chrysotile in vinyl floor tiles, roofing felt, cement products, plasterboard, adhesives, and wall or ceiling materials before 1990. Chrysotile fibers bend rather than break, allowing manufacturers to weave them into flexible building materials. Certified asbestos inspection identifies Chrysotile before renovation or demolition begins.
Amosite (Brown)
Amosite has straight, brittle fibers with high heat resistance. Builders used Amosite in cement sheets, insulating boards, thermal pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, roof panels, and flooring materials through the 1980s. Amosite fibers break into sharp shards when disturbed, increasing inhalation risk during renovation. Certified asbestos testing confirms Amosite presence before Apex Damage Restoration begins containment and removal.
Crocidolite (Blue)
Crocidolite has fine, sharp fibers and ranks as the most hazardous asbestos type. Builders used Crocidolite in spray-on insulation, fire protection boards, ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, and electrical wire coatings. Crocidolite fibers measure thinner than Chrysotile and Amosite, allowing deeper lung penetration. Trained asbestos professionals only handle damaged Crocidolite materials, since disturbance releases the highest fiber concentration among the three types.
Common Places Asbestos Can Be Found in Your Property
Asbestos exists in 4 key locations: insulation, flooring, walls and ceilings, and exterior materials. Insulation includes pipe wraps, attic vermiculite, and furnace insulation. Flooring includes vinyl tiles, sheet linoleum, and mastics. Walls and ceilings include popcorn ceilings, joint compound, and plaster. Exterior materials include roofing shingles, cement siding, and tar paper. Builders used asbestos for fire resistance and insulation before the 1980s.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
HVAC systems used asbestos for heat resistance and insulation before 1980. Duct insulation, pipe insulation, HVAC tape, boiler insulation, and furnace insulation commonly contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Damaged or disturbed HVAC insulation releases airborne fibers during repair or replacement. Professional asbestos inspection and asbestos testing identify ACMs in Aurora, CO HVAC systems before technicians perform repairs.
Attics and Basements (Insulation & Pipes)
Attics and basements contain asbestos most often in insulation and older plumbing systems. Vermiculite insulation, pipe wrap insulation, thermal insulation, and asbestos insulation deteriorate over 30-50 years, increasing airborne fiber risk. Basement pipe insulation and attic insulation crumble when disturbed during renovation or storage changes. Certified asbestos inspection in Aurora, CO confirms material condition before removal begins.
Kitchens and Bathrooms (Floors and Walls)
Kitchens and bathrooms used asbestos for durability and moisture resistance. Vinyl floor tiles, sheet flooring, floor mastic, drywall joint compound, textured ceilings, and wall plaster commonly contain asbestos-containing materials. Renovation activities like tile removal or wall demolition disturb these materials and release fibers. Asbestos testing in Aurora, CO identifies ACMs before contractors begin kitchen or bathroom renovations.
Exterior Property Elements
Exterior building materials used asbestos to improve weather resistance and durability. Asbestos cement siding, roofing shingles, roof felt, soffits, exterior panels, and cement products commonly contain ACMs on properties built before 1980. Weathering, storm damage, or renovation work disturbs these materials and releases airborne fibers. Trained asbestos professionals perform inspections before repair or demolition work begins in Aurora, CO.
Our Asbestos Removal Services Process
The Asbestos Removal process at Apex Damage Restoration includes 5 stages: inspection and testing, containment setup, removal and decontamination, cleanup and disposal, and air clearance and finalization. Each stage confirms safety before the next stage begins. The overall process takes 3 days to 3 weeks, depending on property size and asbestos type.
Inspection and Testing
Inspection and testing identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) through certified asbestos inspection and laboratory sampling. Apex Damage Restoration collects samples from suspected materials and submits them for lab analysis under EPA testing protocols. This stage takes 1 to 3 days, depending on property size and the number of samples required.
Containment Setup
Containment setup isolates the work area using containment barriers and negative air pressure to prevent fiber spread. Apex Damage Restoration seals doors, vents, and openings with polyethylene sheeting before establishing HEPA-filtered negative air pressure. This stage takes 1 to 2 days, depending on room count and property layout.
Removal and Decontamination
Extract asbestos-containing materials using wet removal methods to reduce fiber release. Apex Damage Restoration removes ACMs, decontaminates workers and equipment, and bags materials in sealed containers. This stage takes 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on asbestos type and the volume of material removed.
Cleanup and Disposal
Cleanup and disposal removes all remaining debris using HEPA vacuums and wet wiping methods. Apex Damage Restoration transports sealed asbestos waste to CDPHE-approved disposal facilities under proper asbestos waste disposal regulations. This stage takes 1 to 3 days, depending on the volume of removed material.
Air Clearance & Finalization
Air clearance and finalization confirm the property meets safety standards through post-abatement clearance testing. Apex Damage Restoration collects final air samples and submits them for lab analysis before removing containment barriers. This stage takes 1 to 2 days, and results determine whether a property receives clearance to reopen.
