Charleston Asbestos Prevention & Removal

South Carolina Asbestos Prevention & Removal for Home Owners

Purchasing or moving into a new home is the investment of a lifetime. It will insure you and your family will have a safe and healthy home for a long foreseeable future. Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was a prominent building application throughout the 20th century. One of the hardest hit states by problems caused by asbestos is South Carolina. Many health concerns can result from exposure to asbestos and many citizens of South Carolina have suffered as a result.

In South Carolina, The state was important in the manufacturing, processing and use of asbestos because of its natural deposits and large shipping industry. Many companies that used asbestos include the Charleston Navy Yard, Carolina Shipping Company and Detyen Shipyards, Inc. Potential South Carolina home buyers or those seeking to remodel a home built before 1980 should check for potential asbestos materials. This is not to say that you should be extravagantly worried because with the proper precautions, asbestos exposure can be easily prevented.

Even if asbestos shingles are on your home, if they are in good condition and left undisturbed, they are not a serious problem. The mere presence of asbestos in a home or a building is not hazardous. Damaged asbestos may release asbestos fibers and become a health hazard, leading to the development of asbestosis and pleural mesothelioma. These illnesses result from asbestos exposure alone are serious lung ailments. Mesothelioma treatments vary from patient to patient, depending on age of diagnosis and disease latency period.

If you suspected asbestos materials are in your home, most home inspectors and contractors advise to leave it un-disturbed as asbestos in good condition does not pose any health risks. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Council promotes the health and safety of the public and environment. These public organizations assist the disposal and removal of asbestos and other harmful materials. If asbestos removal is deemed necessary, it should be performed by licensed abatement contractor who is trained in handling hazardous materials.

Once the removal process is completed, green insulation alternatives should be given serious consideration. These alternatives include: cellulose, cotton fiber and lcynene. The United Nations Environmental Program states that the use of recycled building materials such as cotton fiber insulation can reduce energy use by 25 percent. The numbers continue to improve as more options become available.

With a lackluster economy, these kinds of figures have attracted those who were unaware of eco-friendly construction. Not only will these asbestos alternatives reduce energy costs, they allow a lifestyle that promotes a clean, free of health damaging materials.

Mount Pleasant's Tremendous Growth = New Schools

2008-10-16T15:11:00.000-04:00

BY CREATURO & ASSOCIATES of Century 21 Properties Plus

Because Mount Pleasant grew so fast, the Charleston county school district had to make plans for new schools. Even before the new Wando High School was finished, the need for a second High School was already being felt.

Moultrie Middle School and Mount Pleasant Academy are currently under construction and should be open by fall 2009. The district plans to start construction on a new Whitesides Elementary School slated to open in 2010.

A new Jennie Moore Elementary School and Laing Middle School and the creation of a second high school are also in the district's future capital improvement plans.

According to the Post and Courier,

"Bill Lewis, school district chief of operations for capital programs, said additional land has been purchased at the Jennie Moore Elementary site to make room for a new Laing Middle School. The schools would share campuses, just as Cario Middle School and Charles Pinckney Elementary School do in Park West. But the district has yet to identify funding to build a new Laing".

Moultrie Middle School and Mount Pleasant Academy students are currently using the old Wando High School campus. When those students move into their new buildings next fall, old Wando would be available for swing space, making way for the Jennie Moore and Laing campus to be built.
