Asbestos removal and abatement are crucial for restoring commercial properties and ensuring the safety of occupants. Similarly, lead removal may be necessary to limit exposure to the hazardous material.
Multiple sources of lead have been banned in the United States, including lead-based paint in 1978 and lead pipes and plumbing fixtures in 1986. Asbestos is not fully banned, but it cannot be used in certain building materials or in new constructions.
Unfortunately, man-made and natural disasters may disturb asbestos, lead, and other dangerous materials. ATI Restoration provides comprehensive lead and asbestos abatement services for commercial properties throughout the United States. Our technicians are specially trained to fully and safely remove these materials for a healthy indoor environment.
Lead and asbestos are major health hazards, so their removal should always be considered a top priority. ATI Restoration provides a 24-Hour Emergency Response. Call us, and we will dispatch a crew to your commercial property within 24 hours to perform a complete inspection and design a lead and asbestos removal plan.
Asbestos is a severe health hazard. Exposure to asbestos fibers can lead to serious respiratory diseases, including irreversible lung damage and mesothelioma. Lead exposure also has a number of serious health effects, particularly for children and pregnant women.
Disposing of asbestos and lead-containing materials is a delicate process that must be handled in accordance with strict environmental regulations. Trained experts understand the risks associated with lead exposure and employ specialized techniques to minimize the release of dust and particles into the air.
Technicians at ATI Restoration follow established procedures for proper disposal to prevent further contamination of the property. Our goal is to ensure that all materials are securely contained to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers and lead-based waste.

Containment and isolation are critical components of lead and asbestos abatement. The affected area should be sealed off with plastic sheeting to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers and lead dust.
In general, it is not advisable for a business to remain open while asbestos abatement is taking place due to the potential health risks associated with asbestos exposure. When disturbed, asbestos fibers can become airborne and pose a serious threat to human health if inhaled.
Unlike asbestos abatement, businesses may remain open in certain circumstances while lead abatement is in progress. However, this decision should be made only after careful planning and while maintaining the strictest adherence to safety measures.
The discovery of asbestos, lead, and other hazards at a commercial property can cause significant disruption to regular operations. Lead and asbestos removal must sometimes be performed in conjunction with recovery from fire damage, water damage, etc.

Lead and asbestos present unique challenges. We find that an integrated strategy is essential for minimizing risk and properly removing and disposing of these materials. This guarantees a safe and effective remediation process.
Generally speaking, the steps involved in lead and asbestos removal include:
The process begins with a comprehensive inspection to identify both lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). A thorough risk assessment is conducted to evaluate potential exposure and determine the appropriate abatement strategies.
Based on the inspection and risk assessment findings, our professionals develop an integrated abatement plan. This plan outlines the scope of work, containment measures, removal methods, and safety protocols specific to both lead and asbestos.
ATI Restoration handles all permitting requirements. We also notify the appropriate regulatory authorities and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal regulations governing both lead and asbestos abatement.
The work area is strategically contained to prevent the spread of lead dust and asbestos fibers. Physical barriers, negative air pressure systems, and HVAC system sealing are employed to isolate hazards during the removal process.
Abatement workers don appropriate PPE, including respirators, disposable coveralls, gloves, and eye protection, to minimize the risk of exposure to both lead and asbestos particles.
Lead- and asbestos-containing materials are wetted down simultaneously to minimize the release of dust and fibers. Removal techniques tailored to each material are employed to ensure effective remediation.
Both lead and asbestos materials are carefully bagged and sealed to contain any loose particles. Proper labeling designates materials as lead or asbestos waste, and disposal follows regulatory guidelines.
The work area undergoes unified cleaning using wet methods and HEPA vacuuming to eliminate lead dust and asbestos fibers. We meticulously follow decontamination procedures for workers and tools.
Continuous air monitoring is conducted throughout the abatement process to ensure that levels of both lead dust and asbestos fibers remain within acceptable limits, affirming the effectiveness of containment measures.
After completion, a final inspection and clearance testing are performed. The area is visually inspected and samples are collected to confirm that both lead and asbestos levels are below regulatory thresholds. We diligently document the process through inspection reports, abatement plans, air monitoring results, and disposal records.
Lead and asbestos waste is transported to approved disposal facilities following regulations for both types of hazardous materials. Proper labeling and handling procedures are strictly observed to prevent environmental contamination.
We create a combined post-abatement report summarizing all activities conducted during the integrated lead and asbestos abatement process. This report serves as a record of compliance and provides a detailed account of the work performed.
Lead and asbestos abatement should only be handled by certified professionals. The complex nature of these hazardous materials and the potential risks associated with their removal make it essential to partner with a firm capable of doing the job right.

If you are exposed to asbestos, you can contract asbestosis. Asbestosis is a form of lung disease that can If you are exposed to asbestos, you can contract asbestosis. Asbestosis is a form of lung disease that can happen when asbestos fibers are inhaled and enter the lungs. Other risks include diseases like lung cancer. All ATI technicians use respirators rated to protect them during the removal of asbestos from asbestos exposure, and undergo strict OSHA-compliant decontamination protocols when exiting the site of asbestos abatement activities. This protects the general public as well as the technician from asbestos exposure.
Lead exposure at high levels may cause anemia, weakness, and kidney and brain damage. Lead can cross the placental barrier, which means pregnant people and their unborn children are at high risk and developing nervous systems in infants can be damaged by exposure.
