How to Deal with Asbestos in Your Home

An SBA- and MBE-certified company, DTH Corporation GA is a Class A contractor that specializes in new building construction and renovation projects. In renovations, DTH Corporation GA is qualified to perform asbestos remediation.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers asbestos a dangerous compound that is harmful to human health. Unfortunately, many homes and buildings had asbestos used in their construction.

During renovations, these materials become disturbed and release asbestos fibers into the air, exposing people to harm. Before you remodel an older home or building, consult an asbestos specialist to repair or remove asbestos materials.

Exposed asbestos must be sealed, covered, or removed. Sealing uses a sealant to bind the asbestos fibers. Covering entails placing another material around the asbestos to block the release of fibers.

Removal is often the preferred method of getting rid of asbestos, especially when the goal is a complete remodel. However, asbestos removal is a complex process that must be performed by a trained contractor since improper removal will endanger the building residents.

SWaM Certification's Benefits to the Community

DTH Corporation GA is a licensed contractor specializing in servicing private and public sector clients in the commercial and federal niche. They have been certified as a Small, Women-Owned and Minority-Owned (SWaM) business by the State of Virginia since May 11, 2018. As a SWaM-certified company, DTH Corporation GA has been awarded multiple government contracts and continues to work hard to serve their clients and their community.

The SWaM certification is awarded to companies that are at least 51 percent owned by a female or group of females from an ethnic minority. It provides incentives for the government to do business with sectors of society that may otherwise be overlooked.

The State of Virginia has a goal of spending 42 percent of its discretionary expenditure budget on purchases from SWaM-certified businesses. SWaM certification allows all SWaM-certified companies to be listed in the SWaM Vendor Directory, which is used by state procurement officials to select vendors. Prioritizing contracts with SWaM-certified companies ensures that our governmental processes include citizens from all backgrounds and encourages an inclusive environment for all.
