Asbestos Removal
The only true alternative to asbestos is abatement. Having it removed avoids the dangers of asbestos entering into your breathing air supply.
You can find a company certified to remove asbestos. These technicians set up containment areas. They wear protective gear and goggles and use an air filtration system to purify the air during the removal process.
Be wary of some companies who do not do a full removal. Many contractors only remove the asbestos ductwork and leave the vent boot behind. This leaves behind plenty of asbestos in your home.
Also know that the homeowner is the permanent owner of the asbestos. When you have it removed, it is logged exactly how much was harvested from the home and what happened to it afterward, including the address of the landfill.
