Frequently Asked Questions
Where is asbestos commonly found in Kiama homes?
Homes built before 1990 in Kiama often contain asbestos in roofing, wall sheeting, eaves, fencing and even vinyl flooring. It can also be found in sheds and garages. While intact asbestos is usually low risk, disturbing these materials during renovations or repairs can release hazardous fibres. Identifying and safely removing asbestos requires licensed professionals who follow strict procedures to minimise exposure and ensure waste is disposed of correctly.
How much does asbestos removal cost in Kiama?
The cost depends on factors such as the amount of asbestos, whether it is friable or non-friable, and site access. Small removals may cost a few hundred dollars, while larger jobs can run into thousands. Licensed contractors provide quotes that include labour, equipment, safety measures and disposal fees. Choosing a professional ensures accurate pricing and avoids unexpected costs, especially when dealing with hidden asbestos in older structures.
What safety precautions are used during removal?
During asbestos removal in Kiama, work areas are sealed to stop fibres escaping, and negative air systems may be used for friable asbestos. Workers wear protective clothing and respirators, and strict decontamination procedures are followed. All asbestos waste is double-bagged, labelled and transported to licensed facilities. These measures ensure exposure risks are minimised for workers, homeowners and neighbours while meeting all legal requirements under WorkSafe NSW regulations.
Can asbestos be recycled or reused?
No, asbestos cannot be recycled or reused under Australian law. It must be carefully removed, sealed and transported to licensed disposal sites. Attempting to recycle or repurpose asbestos is extremely dangerous and illegal. In Kiama, professional asbestos removal services ensure that all material is handled correctly, protecting public health and the environment. Using licensed contractors guarantees compliance with regulations and provides peace of mind that the job is done safely.
