Asbestos Removal
Asbestos is a group of fibrous minerals used to strengthen and fireproof materials. Asbestos can become airborne, usually during construction and demolition. Inhaled asbestos fibers become trapped in the body. The fibers cause diseases such as mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis. Over decades, trapped asbestos fibers can cause inflammation, scarring and cancer.
Lead Removal
Lead is a toxic chemical element that was used for many years in many bulding materials. As such, it can be quite common in older homes and buildings. Lead exposure can occur when a person comes in contact with lead by touching, swallowing, or breathing in lead or lead dust. High levels of exposure to lead can seriously harm your health and cause well-documented adverse effects such as damage to the brain and nervous system. In children, it can also result in slowed growth and development.
Mold Remediation
Mold can grow in damp and poorly ventilated areas. It reproduces by creating spores and can become airborne to spread. Mold has the potential to cause health problems. Mold produces allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

Professional Abatement Services
Horizam Abatement specializes in removal of Asbestos, Lead Paint and Mold Remediation with the main objective of protecting families from serious health hazards. These hazards can enter our body via inhalation or ingestion, without us realizing it. Often, these diseases may not appear for extended periods of time, months, or years.
Houses and buildings built before 1970, were often constructed using hazardous materials, such as Asbestos and Lead, and could be found in different types of materials used during construction. These may include household items such as, drywall, paint, adhesives used for vinyl floors or the vinyl itelf, insulation, water pipes, and others... These elements maybe safe, if not disturbed, but during construction projects, these materials may need to be worked on or removed. During these projects, materials may become airborne and can severly affect health, especially of children and the elderly.
