If your building contains asbestos, you can turn to our team at Double D Construction Services, Inc. to get the asbestos abatement services you need. Our team has extensive experience in this field, and you can count on us to completely remove all asbestos from your property and dispose of it safely. In this article, we’ll provide an overview of how asbestos abatement works, so you know what to expect.

How Asbestos Abatement Works

  • Preparation – The first stage in the asbestos abatement process is preparation. Our team will test your building to identify all areas containing asbestos, then clearly mark these areas and inform everyone to stay away until the removal is complete. In addition, we’ll close and seal air ducts and take all necessary steps to prevent asbestos fibers from contaminating the HVAC system.
  • Removal – The next stage in asbestos abatement is the removal of the asbestos itself. Our team, wearing robust personal protective gear and respirators, will use hand tools and wet cutting methods to remove the asbestos from your building. As we cut each piece of asbestos, we’ll then place it in airtight disposal bags, seal it in, and then send it through a decontamination unit.
  • Vacuuming and Cleanup – The last stage in asbestos abatement is cleanup. First, our team will use high-powered HEPA vacuums and filters to suck up any remaining asbestos fibers from the air or surfaces in your building. Then, we’ll thoroughly clean the building and have our efforts verified by an independent inspector. Finally, we’ll take down our work station and remove all our equipment.
