VERMICULITE REMOVAL SERVICES
Welcome to Dirty Ducts Cleaning & Environmental Services, your reliable partner for vermiculite removal services. Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral that was commonly used as insulation in attics and walls of homes and buildings until the early 1990s. However, vermiculite from the Libby Mine in Montana, USA, may contain asbestos fibers, posing serious health risks if disturbed or improperly handled. Our vermiculite removal services are designed to safely and effectively eliminate this potential hazard from your property, ensuring a safe environment for you and your family.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR INSULATION IS VERMICULITE?
You should always treat vermiculite as an asbestos-containing material unless professionally tested and proven otherwise.
Any disturbance of vermiculite insulation could potentially cause an asbestos fiber release into your home. This asbestos fiber release could cause potential health hazards to you and your family. Avoid disturbing it and hire a professional asbestos contractor like Dirty Ducts Cleaning, Environmental, and Insulation to assess the situation.
Your vermiculite project may be partially reimbursable through the Zonolite Attic Insulation Trust Fund.

RISKS OF VERMICULITE
Vermiculite is often contaminated with asbestos, posing significant health risks if disturbed. The main cause of vermiculite contamination is the use of asbestos-containing vermiculite in insulation materials, particularly in older buildings. When vermiculite insulation is disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne, posing inhalation risks. Exposure to asbestos can lead to severe health issues, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. The consequences of not addressing vermiculite contamination can be dire, resulting in long-term health impacts and potential legal liabilities. Professional vermiculite removal services ensure that contaminated materials are safely identified and removed, protecting the health and well-being of occupants.
AIR QUALITY & HEALTH
Maintaining high air quality is crucial for health, especially in environments with potential vermiculite contamination. Asbestos fibers released from contaminated vermiculite can become airborne, posing serious inhalation risks. Professional vermiculite removal services include measures to control and contain asbestos fibers, ensuring that air quality is maintained throughout the process. This not only protects the health of those involved but also ensures a safe and clean environment for future use. Regular vermiculite inspections and removal help prevent exposure and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations, promoting a healthier living and working environment.

The only way to confirm if vermiculite contains asbestos is through professional testing. DDC does not perform testing services as this is considered a conflict of interest in our eyes. We can provide qualified contacts that do testing services if you’d like by contacting our office.
The Department of Health Services requires vermiculite removal to be done by a licensed asbestos removal company regardless of test results. There are a few exceptions to this rule with mass demolition projects.
Please contact our team for these scenarios.
Asbestos fibers can cause respiratory illnesses, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis, when inhaled. This is why it’s critical to handle vermiculite with asbestos with care.
Vermiculite removal involves sealing off the affected area, using specialized equipment to remove the material safely, and then properly disposing of it according to regulatory guidelines.
It is not recommended to remove vermiculite insulation yourself due to the potential presence of asbestos. Professional removal ensures safety and compliance with regulations.
The cost varies depending on the size of the area and the complexity of the job. A professional assessment will provide an accurate estimate.
