Asbestos Abatement
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once valued for heat resistance and durability, but exposure to its fibers poses serious health risks. Our asbestos abatement services ensure safe removal, proper disposal, and complete site remediation.
-
Safe removal: We employ state-of-the-art techniques to remove asbestos-containing materials safely and efficiently.
-
Disposal: Ensuring proper disposal in compliance with environmental regulations.
-
Site Remediation: Complete site remediation to ensure a clean and safe environment for future construction activities.
Lead Abatement
Lead is a toxic metal that poses serious health risks, especially to children. It was commonly used in paints and materials in older buildings, creating hazards when disturbed during renovation or demolition. Our lead abatement services ensure safe removal and restoration.
-
Containment and removal: Safely containing and removing lead-based materials to prevent exposure.
-
Cleanup and verification: Thorough cleanup and testing to ensure a lead-free environment.
-
Site remediation: Complete remediation to provide a clean and safe environment for future use.
PCB Abatement
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are man-made chemicals once widely used in industrial and commercial products until they were banned in 1979. PCBs are toxic and hazardous, requiring specialized handling and removal to ensure safety and compliance.
-
Safe removal: Careful removal of PCB-contaminated materials to prevent further spread of pollutants.
-
Disposal: Proper disposal of PCB materials in accordance with environmental regulations.
-
Site remediation: Complete remediation to restore a safe and compliant environment.
Mold Remediation
Mold thrives in damp and humid conditions, causing structural damage and health issues if left untreated. Our mold remediation services not only remove visible mold but also address the underlying causes to prevent future growth.
-
Assessment: Thorough inspection to identify the extent of mold and its moisture source.
-
Containment: Preventing the spread of mold spores with barriers and negative air pressure.
-
Site remediation: Safe removal of contaminated materials, cleaning, and disinfection.
-
Drying and dehumidification: Eliminating excess moisture to stop recurrence.
-
Prevention: Long-term solutions like leak repair, ventilation improvements, and mold-resistant materials.
Vermiculite Removal
Vermiculite was once widely used for insulation, but certain sources—like the Libby, Montana mine—were contaminated with asbestos. Disturbing asbestos-contaminated vermiculite releases dangerous fibers, posing serious health risks. Our specialized vermiculite removal services ensure safety and compliance every step of the way.
-
Containment: Properly sealing the area and using negative air pressure to prevent asbestos fibers from spreading.
-
Removal: Certified professionals carefully remove asbestos-contaminated vermiculite using safe methods and equipment.
-
Disposal: Materials are sealed, labeled, and transported to approved asbestos disposal facilities.
-
Cleanup: Thorough cleaning with HEPA vacuums and wet wiping to ensure a safe environment.
-
Post-removal testing: Independent air quality testing confirms asbestos levels are safe.
