I have identified Asbestos in my home and want to hire someone to remove it. How do I do this?

If you decide to have asbestos removed, BCAA strongly encourages you to use a state-certified asbestos abatement contractor. These experts employ removal techniques unavailable to do-it-yourself homeowners, thereby ensuring asbestos is effectively and safely removed. They also perform air monitoring to ensure that the air in your home meets acceptable standards after the project is completed.

Bonded, insured asbestos abatement contractors are in the yellow pages of your telephone directory under "Asbestos". Get several bids and check references before making a selection.

NOTE!! Before beginning any asbestos removal project, you or the asbestos contractor must file a "Notification of Intent to Remove Asbestos" form, which can be downloaded (PDF or DOC), filled out, and returned to the BCAA. Once approved, the form becomes your permit to legally remove asbestos and dispose of it at specified asbestos disposal sites. Failure to submit this form may result in an enforcement action against you.

10-WORKING DAY WRITTEN ADVANCE NOTICE IS REQUIRED.
