Asbestos removal can sometimes be performed when people are on-site in the affected building; sometimes people must be temporarily re-located. For the most part, the area of the building from which asbestos is being removed must be sealed to prevent other areas from becoming contaminated.

When sealed and isolated, non-friable asbestos is not hazardous. Still, it is best to contact a specialist if you’re planning to make renovations around your home, since the material containing asbestos might be disturbed.
