Asbestos Abatement
On Being First
When it comes to asbestos abatement, MARCOR is the number one privately owned firm in the nation.
We also carry first-rate liability insurance - the best coverage available in the environmental industry.
MARCOR’s asbestos abatement experience leads the nation. In the early days of the asbestos abatement industry, our expert management staff assisted State of Maryland regulatory authorities in developing guidelines for safe asbestos removal. As a result, Maryland became the very first state to require licensing and accreditation, and MARCOR was the first remediation contractor approved and certified for asbestos removal. The Maryland rules formed the cornerstone for our federal guidelines. Since that time, we have accomplished many thousands of abatement projects nationwide. Fully licensed and bonded, we perform all work with in-house capabilities, and we offer quick and capable response anywhere in the United States. MARCOR can also provide informative seminars for concerned tenants or other occupants of buildings where ACM has been identified.
We Turn Plans into Cost-effective Action
Once a plan has been finalized, whether for encapsulation, enclosure, or removal, we put our greatest resource to work for you one of the most experienced and best-trained abatement workforces in the nation. All of our technicians are AHERA trained (a rigorous program recognized by the EPA). These skilled technicians employ the most comprehensive and innovative methods from high-volume vacuum systems to the latest in pressure washing equipment to remove your asbestos swiftly and safely. MARCOR is particularly effective at accomplishing abatement without disrupting clients’ routine operations. We also meet or exceed every OSHA and EPA requirement and provide you with a full report upon completion of the project.
Plan Ahead with our RSP Strategy
Many businesses, institutions, and government agencies with large or multiple facilities have an ongoing need for asbestos management. With this in mind, MARCOR offers the Retained Services Program (RSP), through which we provide long-term service with numerous advantages, including emergency response and guaranteed rates for labor and materials for the life of the agreement.
Asbestos: A Few Facts
Asbestos was once considered the "miracle fiber" because of its wide range of physical properties and uses. With the discovery that release of asbestos fibers and subsequent inhalation and accumulation in the body cause serious health problems, liability claims increased dramatically. Today, a huge number of asbestos-related lawsuits are yet to be resolved.
A mineral fiber, asbestos was once added to products to strengthen them and to provide thermal insulation and fire resistance. Today, use of asbestos in building materials is banned, and owners of buildings constructed before 1981 must be able to prove that their building is free of the hazardous material.
