Asbestos Removal in Westminster, CA — MoldRx
Vetted Asbestos Removal Specialists Serving Westminster and the Central Orange County
If you've discovered asbestos in your Westminster home—or suspect it might be there—you're probably wondering what happens next. Here's the honest answer: asbestos isn't something you can handle yourself, and it's not something to ignore. Westminster has a significant number of homes built during the peak asbestos era, which means many property owners in this community face this exact situation. MoldRx coordinates safe, compliant asbestos removal through vetted specialists who understand both the material and the local requirements.
Why Westminster Properties Need Asbestos Removal
Westminster was incorporated in 1957 and experienced its most significant residential growth during the 1960s and 1970s. This timing matters because asbestos was used extensively in construction materials until the late 1970s when regulations began phasing it out. With a population of approximately 91,000 residents, many Westminster homeowners live in properties that are 50 to 65 years old—right in the high-risk window for asbestos-containing materials.
The construction patterns in Westminster mean asbestos could be present in floor tiles, pipe insulation, popcorn ceilings, roof shingles, HVAC duct insulation, and even drywall joint compounds. Homes built before 1980 have a high likelihood of containing at least some asbestos materials. The challenge is that asbestos is often hidden—embedded in materials that look completely normal until they're disturbed.
Westminster's semi-arid Mediterranean climate, with summer temperatures reaching the mid-80s to low 90s and relatively mild winters, means homeowners frequently undertake renovation projects year-round. Whether you're updating a kitchen, replacing flooring, or making repairs, any work on a pre-1980 home should start with Asbestos Testing. Disturbing asbestos without proper precautions releases microscopic fibers into the air—fibers that can cause serious health problems including mesothelioma and lung cancer, sometimes decades after exposure.
Our Asbestos Removal Process in Westminster
Every asbestos removal project follows strict Cal/OSHA and EPA protocols. Here's what the process looks like for Westminster properties:
-
Initial Assessment and Planning — Before any work begins, our vetted specialists review testing results and develop a detailed abatement plan. This includes identifying all asbestos-containing materials, determining the scope of work, and filing required notifications with South Coast AQMD under Rule 1403.
-
Containment Setup — The work area is completely sealed using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure systems. This prevents any asbestos fibers from escaping into the rest of your home or the surrounding environment. Warning signs are posted, and access is restricted to licensed abatement workers only.
-
Safe Removal — Using wet methods and specialized equipment, technicians carefully remove asbestos materials while wearing full protective gear including respirators. Every step follows NESHAP regulations and California's strict abatement requirements.
-
Proper Disposal and Clearance — Removed materials are double-bagged in labeled containers and transported to approved disposal facilities. After removal, air monitoring confirms the space is safe. You'll receive documentation showing the work was completed in compliance with all regulations.
