Sealing Off the Space

After asbestos is discovered in your home, it is crucial to prevent the material from spreading throughout your space. To keep asbestos from moving to new areas, the space is sealed off with plastic sheeting and carefully taped to prevent airflow. Special exhaust fans are used to move contaminated air outdoors where it won’t harm your family.

Removing the Asbestos

After the area is completely sealed off and the air is venting properly, professional abatement teams wearing protective gear will begin removing the materials containing asbestos. Special solutions may be used to spray down loose materials to prevent dust. Construction debris is carefully bagged, tagged, and removed in special containers so it can be disposed of properly.

Testing the Air

Before the job is complete, experts carefully test the air to check the asbestos levels. Abatement and venting continues until the air is clean and safe.
