Asbestos Abatement

Prior to the 1980s, asbestos was a common component of many building materials and flame retardants. Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) have since been banned from use in construction due to the health dangers that deteriorating or damaged asbestos products pose to the public.

However, asbestos is still prevalent in many structures, and unfortunately, are occasionally still used today. If you suspect that your property contains Asbestos, please consider consulting with a licensed professional before conducting any renovations or new construction.

OUR PROCESS

A knowledgeable Project Manager will gather critical information from you in order for 24 to respond to your needs quickly and efficiently.

On-site assessment by certified Project Manager

24 utilizes a third-party environmental testing company to determine if ACM materials are present (typically popcorn ceilings, floor tile glue, drywall seams, and insulation).

Develop an abatement plan, and obtain asbestos abatement permit from the state.

24 will protect the environment and the appropriate work area by setting up containment and a HEPA filter negative air machine.

Wearing personal protective equipment, 24’s technicians will utilize tools and wet methods to properly remove all asbestos.

Place ACM into sealed waste disposal bags and utilize a licensed waste shipping company.

Hire an independent hygienist to test and clear the environment for safety.

The 24 team will communicate frequently and clearly with you and your Insurance Company throughout the entire process.
