Asbestos Removal around Mayfield
The council's advice: do not touch, sweep, vacuum or move suspected fragments, and never use a leaf blower, pressure washer or dry sweeping; lightly mist dry debris instead; hold off mowing lawns that might carry fragments; do not use tank water until it has been assessed; do not clean up indoor debris yourself.
Air monitoring during the initial street clearance found no airborne asbestos above the detection limit. If you are concerned about your own Mayfield property, you can contact a licensed asbestos assessor and a licensed contractor directly.
