The idea of abatement is to seal off an area, remove any hazardous materials that may be present and thoroughly clean it afterwards. This procedure can often times take quite some time as well because all contaminated areas must first undergo thorough examination before they’re sealed off from other parts in order for workers do their jobs safely!
What Is Asbestos Abatement?
What Do I Do If I Think There Is Asbestos In My Building?
Handling asbestos properly is crucial to protecting both you and those around from potential health risks. If you think there is an asbestos containing material in your building, it’s important to contact a certified company. Licensed contractors can help test for hazardous materials and devise removal plans that will protect both workers’ safety as well as damage done by this dangerous substance
A lot goes into deciding who should remove Asbestos – its proper handling must be Naivete Certified!
The Asbestos Abatement Process
Creating the plan
By hiring us, you can be assured that your project will not only receive high-quality service but also assure compliance with all local laws. We’ll create a detailed plan to ensure the area is treated ethically and cleanly while following everything from state regulations on waste disposal down through every last detail!
Marking the site
The site will be clearly marked with signs and boundaries, informing all building occupants that they must leave the area until completion of abatement.
Sealing off the area
We will seal off any affected areas with thick plastic sheets to ensure no asbestos can leave the affected area during abatement. This includes covering air ducts and disabling HVAC systems.
Removing hazardous materials
The abatement team will wear protective clothing and respirators while they are working carefully to ensure no asbestos fibers enter the air.
They do so by wetting hazardous materials to help solidify any dust.
They are then sealed in a protective lining, which is then disposed offsite.
Vacuuming the site
To minimize the risk of dispersion during asbestos removal, we will use special vacuums with HEPA filtration and clean surfaces afterwards.
Cleaning everything thoroughly after abatement
Once we have removed or encapsulated all asbestos-containing materials, our team will clean the area and take air samples to ensure your site is safe. We’ll only remove plastic barriers if a workplace returns negative results for dangerous substances and the site has been deemed safe!
