These samples are then sent to an independent laboratory for precise analysis. This initial investment is crucial because it confirms the presence of asbestos and determines the correct procedure, which can save you on decontamination costs.<\/p><p>Once the contamination is identified, we proceed with decontamination work, adapting to the assessed risk level: low, medium, or high. Depending on the risk, our teams use the appropriate protective equipment, which can range from a simple mask to more complex installations, such as airtight locker rooms or negative air pressure systems.<\/p><p>Whatever the situation, we are ready to inform you about the various options available to you and ensure your project is safe.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c0e3c89 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c0e3c89\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Be calm<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-709ad60 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"709ad60\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Please note that asbestos is not a product that poses a health hazard if it is not handled, cut or disturbed, if it is well covered and if any materials that may contain it remain in good condition.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b7e02f9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b7e02f9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76443ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"76443ee\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd1fb63 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dd1fb63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tell us about your project<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8193405 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8193405\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Every project is a story.
