Emergency Asbestos Abatement

Emergency abatement is conducted when asbestos has been accidentally disturbed--usually because of water leaks involving contaminated ceiling tile.  The affected area is immediately evacuated and secured, all air handlers serving that area are shut down, and the "spill" is reported to the proper authorities. Every effort is made to return the affected area to its normal occupancy as soon as possible.

The procedure is stringently monitored in order to make sure the process is made as safe as possible for all parties involved as well as the area of the emergency contamination.

If containment area is not properly cleaned up, then there exists a significant risk of exposure, which can later lead to many deadly diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma.
