Asbestos Abatement: Our Step-By-Step Process at 24/7 Restoration

Asbestos, once hailed for its versatility and fire-resistant properties, is now recognized as a hazardous material linked to serious health risks. At 24/7 Restoration, we understand the importance of safe and thorough asbestos abatement to protect both property occupants and workers. In this blog, we’ll walk you through our meticulous step-by-step process for asbestos abatement, ensuring a comprehensive approach to removal and mitigation.

Step 1- Initial Assessment: Our certified asbestos abatement team begins with a thorough inspection of the property to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Using advanced techniques and equipment, we locate and assess the extent of asbestos presence, including areas such as insulation, flooring, and ceiling tiles.

Step 2- Development of Abatement Plan: Based on the findings from the initial assessment, we develop a customized abatement plan tailored to the unique characteristics of the property and the specific ACMs identified. This plan outlines the scope of work, containment measures, removal procedures, and safety protocols to be followed throughout the abatement process.

Step 3- Containment Preparation: Before any asbestos removal begins, our team implements strict containment measures to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers to unaffected areas. This involves sealing off the work area with specialized barriers, using negative air pressure systems, and installing HEPA filtration units to capture airborne particles.

Step 4- Safe Removal and Disposal: Using industry-leading techniques and equipment, our trained technicians carefully remove asbestos-containing materials from the property, following established protocols to minimize disturbance and fiber release. All removed materials are safely packaged and transported for proper disposal at licensed facilities in compliance with regulatory guidelines.

Step 5- Decontamination and Cleanup: Once asbestos removal is complete, we conduct thorough decontamination procedures to ensure the work area and surrounding areas are free from asbestos contamination. This involves meticulous cleaning of surfaces, equipment, and personal protective gear using HEPA vacuums and wet wiping techniques.

Step 6- Post-Abatement Inspection and Testing: After decontamination, our team conducts a final inspection of the property to verify that all asbestos-containing materials have been successfully removed and that the area is safe for reoccupation. We perform comprehensive air quality testing to confirm that asbestos levels are below regulatory limits, providing assurance of a successful abatement process.

Step 7- Documentation and Clearance: Upon completion of the abatement project, we provide detailed documentation of the work performed, including inspection reports, testing results, and disposal records. Once regulatory authorities have reviewed and approved the documentation, we issue clearance certificates, certifying that the property is asbestos-free and safe for occupancy.
