• ASBESTOS REMOVAL REQUIRED BY LAW

In some cases, removal of this substance is a requirement by law. For instance, if you plan to move into an old building, you need to perform an asbestos inspection. If its presence is detected, you will have to get the area cleaned before you move in.

Replacement Insulation

Asbestos insulation was the biggest source of asbestos exposure for workers in the 20th century. It remains a toxic hazard to date. Many buildings once used asbestos-based insulation, mostly because of asbestos’ flame-retardant properties. So, after we remove asbestos-based insulation from your site, O’Reilly Brothers will help you choose appropriate replacement insulation.

We offer a variety of certified flame-retardant products, including polyurethane-based insulation. This product is UFFI-free and safe to use.
