ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION IN HONOLULU AND OAHU
IMMEDIATE OAHU ASBESTOS ENCAPSULANT COMPANY
Asbestos encapsulation is a process that involves covering or enclosing ACMs with a protective coating or material to prevent the release of fibers into the air.
Encapsulation is typically used as a medium- to long-term solution for managing ACMs in Honolulu homes, offices, and commercial spaces, rather than full removal, which can be costly and disruptive. This method creates a barrier that seals off the asbestos fibers and prevents them from becoming airborne, reducing the risk of exposure to asbestos.
If you need any help or advice at all with any aspect of asbestos management, our team at KR Asbestos Removal will be very happy to assist you. Give us a call and our experts will provide consultations about asbestos encapsulation.

ASBESTOS REMOVALS vs. ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION
Choosing between asbestos removal and encapsulation depends on the condition of the asbestos, the different risks involved, and the feasibility of removal. Complete asbestos removal is usually preferred, especially when materials are damaged or if a renovation or demolition is planned.
However, encapsulation is suitable in cases where removal is difficult or there’s minimal existing damage and the asbestos is currently stable. Each case should be assessed individually, considering the affected material, safety, cost, building occupancy, ease of access, and long-term asbestos management.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION?
The asbestos encapsulation process involves several steps. There will be an in-depth asbestos survey to determine the condition of materials and the site’s suitability for the work. Surfaces containing asbestos are prepared by cleaning and removing any loose debris. In some cases, a primer may be applied to aid adhesion.
The sealant will be carefully applied to form an effective coating and barrier. It’s then allowed to cure and harden, creating a durable protective layer over the asbestos-containing materials. After encapsulation, the site undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure the effectiveness of the process. Any touch-ups or additional coats are applied as necessary.
HOW LONG DOES ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION LAST?
The longevity of asbestos encapsulation depends on the type of sealant used, environmental conditions, and the integrity of the surface covered. At KR Asbestos Removal, our asbestos encapsulation can provide long-term protection, effectively containing asbestos fibers for an extended period.
Routine inspections, asbestos surveys, and maintenance are recommended to monitor the condition of the encapsulated materials and address any issues fast. You may find it’s best to consider asbestos removal in the long run. To arrange an asbestos survey, get in touch today!
ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION:
HOW SAFE IS IT?
If the process is carried out by trained asbestos professionals using approved methods, asbestos encapsulation is considered safe and effective in managing ACMs when removal isn’t possible. The encapsulation process reduces the risk of fiber inhalation.

PROTECT YOUR FAMILY FROM EXPOSURES TO ASBESTOS
If you think there may be asbestos in your home, don’t panic. Asbestos-containing materials may release fibers when they are disturbed, damaged, or removed improperly. Keep an eye on asbestos-containing materials and visually check them over time for signs of wear or damage.
