Lead & Asbestos Removal Services for Commercial Properties Nationwide

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.

How We Handle Lead & Asbestos Abatement

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:

Inspection & Risk Assessment

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.

Integrated Abatement Plan Development

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.

Regulatory Compliance & Permits

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.

Containment Strategies

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.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

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.

Wetting & Removal

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.

Bagging & Sealing of Hazardous Materials

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.

Cleaning & Decontamination

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.

Air Monitoring

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.

Final Inspection & Clearance Testing

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.

Waste Disposal

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.

Post-Abatement Report

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.

National Response Capability

ATI’s catastrophe services are defined by responsiveness. We take calls 24/7/365 and promptly dispatch crews to assess the situation. Our NRS Team consists of qualified individuals ready to respond to emergencies at a moment’s notice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does an asbestos or lead abatement team do once they are in the building?

Once on site, we will assess the threat of abatement and discuss your options and the asbestos removal process. To ensure the safety of the building and the health of everyone involved, any area that contains asbestos material will be encapsulated to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers. The asbestos materials will then be transported to a landfill according to EPA guidelines.

How do you test for asbestos?

ATI utilizes the expertise of third party Certified Asbestos Consultants to conduct asbestos sampling. ATI has a vast network of Industrial Hygiene Firms that we refer to our clients to perform asbestos sampling on their properties.

What are the dangers of exposure to asbestos?

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.

What are the dangers of exposure to lead?

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.
