ASBESTOS AND LEAD ABATEMENT
NEW YORK’S MOST TRUSTED ASBESTOS AND LEAD REMOVAL COMPANY
GET YOUR PROPERTY BACK TO ITS PRISTINE CONDITION
If your New York home or commercial building was built between the 1940s to 1970s, there is a chance that it may contain asbestos or lead. Before it was discovered that they could cause mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, and some lung-related diseases, asbestos was used in building constructions for its durability and resistance to heat, sound, and fire.
Likewise, lead was used in paints and other building materials until it was banned in the 1970s due to its link to health issues, especially in children under six. When ingested, lead can cause developmental delays, reduced cognitive function, kidney damage, increased risk of miscarriage, heart diseases, and neurological problems such as headaches and seizures.
Though lead and asbestos were banned about four decades ago, several buildings still contain these toxic materials. If you suspect these substances in your home or have detected them, you must act immediately to avoid risking the health of you and your loved ones. Here at NYHR, our certified asbestos and lead abatement professionals are trained to test and remove these toxic substances from your home safely. Call 212-300-NYHR to get the removal process started today!
