Popcorn Removal Made Simple


If there are not any metal rods sticking out of the top of the ceiling, then detach it by loosening all the nuts and bolts on the ceiling. You can use a butter knife to safely remove the nuts and bolts without damaging any fixtures on the ceiling. Once the nuts and bolts are removed, then remove the metal clips that are holding the corn down in place. Take all of the metal clips off so that you can safely remove the popcorn. You should be careful when removing them since they can break and cause damage to your ceilings or drywall if you drop them while you are removing them.

 

It is important to remove all of the metal clips before removing the corns without damaging the corns or the roof. You should never try to fix the corns when they are still attached to the ceiling repair. This can lead to leaks that can cause more damage. It is important to check on the corn regularly to make sure that it is not growing back.

Removal & Repair


After you remove all of the corns from the roof and the corns have been properly popped, you should now be able to safely remove them. You should remove each in small sections. You should use the corn as leverage to lift each piece of corns off of the roof and out of the house. You will need a ladder to get this done safely. You should first place each corn in an empty plastic soda bottle. This way, you will know how much of the corns to remove and how much you need to remove. Before placing the corns on the ground, cover each one in some grass seed. This way, the grass seeds will keep the pop up corns from covering the corn and making it hard to remove. Pop up corns can be a hazard if they are left on roofs for a long period of time.

 

You should then slowly move each corn onto the ground. Make sure that the corns are touching the ground. You should then gently tap the corns gently on the celling. This precaution is done just incase their is asbestos resting above the drywall sheets.  If the corns do not budge, you should place a broom handle under the corns or use some kind of weight to push them down. You should continue tapping the corns until they are all in line with the roof line. Once you have removed every corn on the roof, you should make sure that you are not walking over any of the corns. You should also be careful that none of the corn gets onto your shoes. These tips will help you remove popcorn safely from roofs, helping you enjoy your summer time.


What are the dangers of Asbestos? Asbestos is a mineral that was widely used during the 1970s because it is resistant to heat and fire. It is resistant to electricity as well. Asbestos was used in thousands of products including ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, paints, fireproofing, flooring, roofing, and drywall. Asbestos was also used in products that we use every day; such as vacuum cleaners, brake pads, and brake linings. If you have one of these products that contain Asbestos, you should know about the dangers of Asbestos removal.

 

When Asbestos was discovered, the world's media was all a buzz about it. In fact, Asbestos was used so widely that the U.S government banned the Asbestos manufacturing material. The ban was meant to protect American workers from Asbestos-related illnesses. Asbestos is flammable and easily ignitable.

If you have a room in your home that has Asbestos in it, there is a good chance that you have been exposed to Asbestos. If you believe that you may have been exposed to Asbestos, you should take measures to clean the area and get it treated. If you do not have treatment in place, Asbestos can irritate the lining of the lungs and cause cancer. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. This means that it can cause cancer up to 40 years after you are exposed to it.

Asbestos Hazards


Here are some Asbestos Hazards. Asbestos is flammable, and it is even more flammable when it is wet. Any Asbestos materials that are exposed to water are especially at risk for being ignitable. The Asbestos materials that are exposed to the most water are ceiling tiles, drywall, and paint. If an Asbestos material is not properly removed or protected, it can become airborne and then be breathed in by people in the home. A lot of homes contain Asbestos materials. If there is Asbestos in your home, there is a very good chance that someone inside your home has Asbestos in their house. You do not have to worry about contracting Asbestos related diseases from working in your home or from living in your home. However, there are some things that you need to do to make sure that you do not become sick from Asbestos. If you are exposed to Asbestos while at work, you need to tell your boss and get tested for Asbestos.

Mold

Mold also poses Asbestos Hazards. Asbestos is flammable, so it is also dangerous to people who are working with it and to those who are around them. Asbestos removal is difficult, because once Asbestos becomes disturbed, it releases Asbestos gas. If you are exposed to Asbestos gas, you could become ill from the Asbestos poisoning. It is also not uncommon for people to become ill from mold problems. If you have mold problems in your home or your bathroom, you need to hire a competent professional to remove Asbestos and mold problems from your home.

Asbestos Poisoning

You can be ill from Asbestos poisoning just by being in your home for a few minutes. It is possible to become ill from Asbestos if you spend time in your home after you have been exposed to Asbestos. Asbestos easily gets into the air. Once inhaled, Asbestos gas can cause a number of health problems. There are a number of different symptoms, which may alert you to Asbestos exposure, such as, shortness of breath, chest pains, nausea, and stomachaches. Asbestos Hazards are not the only Asbestos related problems. You should also be aware of the many health risks, which are caused by Asbestos related materials, including lung cancer, pleural plaques, and mesothelioma, which is a cancer of the lungs. If you have been exposed to Asbestos, you should immediately notify your doctor or your lawyer so they can begin planning for Asbestos removal. Also, the doctor will be able to tell you what type of Asbestos removal is required for your specific situation.
