Asbestos exposure poses a huge health and safety threat to yourself and your family. When asbestos testing reveals that there are asbestos-containing materials on your property, you should immediately schedule services with an abatement professional. A company that offers asbestos removal in the Boston area will know how to safely remove this material from your property, without putting you and your loved ones at greater risk of exposure. Let’s take a closer look at what you can expect from the asbestos abatement process.
Sealing of Contaminated Area Asbestos Removal Process
One of the most important steps of any asbestos abatement procedure is a complete and thorough sealing of the area that has been contaminated. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed during the removal process, asbestos fibers can be released into the surrounding air. Using thick, plastic sheets and negative HEPA filtration, your contractor will completely seal off and block the area where the asbestos will be removed. This initial sealing procedure will protect you and your family members from harm.
Careful Removal of Materials
After the area has been completely contained, your abatement contractor will start carefully removing the asbestos materials from your property. From insulation to flooring and more, there may be many sources of asbestos contamination throughout your home. After asbestos materials have been carefully removed, they must be placed in sealed disposal containers before they can be taken out of the home.
Thorough Cleaning of the Contaminated Site
The final step of asbestos removal is to thoroughly clean out any last traces of asbestos that may remain in the area. Using special vacuums, filtration tools, and other cleaners, your abatement team will meticulously eliminate any trace of asbestos fibers from your home. After the site has been cleaned, an air test will be used to make absolutely sure that the asbestos contamination has been completely eliminated. Once your house has passed the final inspection, you can resume your daily activities.
