Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff

Asbestos water tanks were once a common feature in many homes and buildings in Caerphilly, but with the discovery of the hazardous effects of asbestos, it's essential to dispose of these tanks safely and responsibly. If you're a homeowner or property manager in Caerphilly, here's a step-by-step guide on how to dispose of an asbestos water tank.

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring minerals that were widely used in construction materials, including water tanks, due to their durability and resistance to heat and corrosion. However, asbestos is a hazardous substance that can cause serious health problems, including lung cancer and mesothelioma, when inhaled.

Asbestos water tanks are typically made of cement or asbestos-reinforced cement (AIB) and have a distinctive texture and appearance. They may be located in the loft, attic, or basement of a property. If you suspect that your water tank contains asbestos, it's essential to have it inspected by a qualified professional.

Before removing an asbestos water tank, you'll need to:

• Turn off the water supply to the tank
• Drain the tank completely
• Disconnect any pipes or fittings connected to the tank
• Cover the floor and surrounding areas with plastic sheeting to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading

Asbestos water tanks must be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal contractor, such as Affordable Asbestos Removal Cardiff. Our team of experts will:
