Asbestos Abatement & Removal in Barnegat, NJ

First signs of asbestos exposure appear 10-40 years after initial contact, making early detection difficult. Common early symptoms include persistent coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.

Asbestos-related diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma develop gradually over decades and are challenging to diagnose in early stages.

If you suspect asbestos exposure, seek medical attention immediately and inform your healthcare provider of any potential exposure history for proper evaluation and monitoring.

Yes, all utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer, cable/internet) must be safely disconnected before demolition begins. This is a critical safety requirement to prevent accidents, explosions, or electrocution. Brick Asbestos & Demolition coordinates with your utility companies to schedule proper disconnections and can recommend trusted service providers for utility shutoffs if needed. We ensure this step is completed before our equipment arrives on site. Note that utility companies typically require 3-5 business days notice for disconnections, which we factor into your project timeline. Safety is our top priority, and we never compromise on proper utility management.

Weather can impact demolition schedules, but most projects can proceed year-round with proper planning. Heavy rain, snow, or ice may delay work for safety reasons, while high winds can restrict crane operations. Some New Jersey municipalities have seasonal restrictions (for example, Margate prohibits demolitions from June 15 to September 15). Brick Asbestos & Demolition closely monitors weather conditions and adjusts schedules as needed to ensure worker safety and project quality. Winter demolitions may require additional precautions for frozen ground or limited daylight hours. We'll discuss seasonal considerations during your consultation and build appropriate weather contingencies into your project timeline.
