WHY IS VERMICULITE CONTAMINATION A THREAT?

 

Vermiculite itself is not a harmful substance. It comes from a natural mineral deposit resembling mica. Many companies use vermiculite for insulation purposes because vermiculite expands at high temperatures. This odourless material is also lightweight and fire-resistant.

 

However, the truth is that despite these valuable traits, vermiculite presents potential risks that home and building owners should not ignore. From 1929 to 1990, most vermiculite came from an area of Montana with vermiculite containing asbestos as well as other asbestos exposure. Because most vermiculite originated from a contaminated source, buildings with vermiculite have a high likelihood of asbestos contamination. This means that you could be living in a home or conducting your business out of a building insulated with asbestos-contaminated vermiculite. Asbestos is a substance that causes more than breathing or other lung-related illnesses, it can also lead to chronic diseases.

 

Asbestos's risks to your health, your family, and your customers are just too high to take vermiculite contamination lightly. To avoid the health hazards of asbestos, people in buildings with vermiculite should consider getting asbestos testing and then insulation removal if necessary. Before obtaining vermiculite removal for your Ottawa home, you must determine if the vermiculite contains asbestos and have it tested. If your home or shop urgently needs vermiculite removal in Ottawa, O’Reilly Brothers is the most reliable agency for you in Ottawa.

THE BENEFITS OF VERMICULITE REMOVAL

Removing vermiculite from your property can have several benefits. The most important benefit is the elimination of health risks associated with asbestos exposure. Asbestos fibers, when inhaled, can lead to serious health conditions, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. By removing vermiculite, you can ensure that your family, customers, and employees are safe from these harmful substances.

In addition to health benefits, vermiculite removal can also improve the energy efficiency of your property. Many older homes and buildings have outdated insulation, including vermiculite, which can contribute to heat loss and higher energy bills. By removing vermiculite and replacing it with modern insulation, you can improve your property's energy efficiency, reduce your energy bills, and increase your property's value.

Lastly, vermiculite removal can also improve the air quality of your property. Asbestos fibers released from vermiculite can pollute the air and affect indoor air quality, leading to health problems. By removing contaminated vermiculite, you can improve the air quality and breathe easier, reducing the risk of respiratory issues.

Overall, vermiculite removal is an important investment for your property's health, energy efficiency, and value. If you suspect that your property has vermiculite insulation, don't wait to take action. Contact a professional vermiculite removal company like O'Reilly Brothers for a safe and effective removal process and don't forget to ask us if there are any grants or rebates you may qualify for.
