This list is not comprehensive. We encourage you to contact ATI Restoration ASAP if any type of environmental concern arises on your property.
Did you know that mold colonies can start forming in as little as 24 to 48 hours? Or that certain pathogens can survive on the surfaces in your home for days, weeks, or even months? How about the fact that contaminants like lead can last in the environment for years?
All of these questions demonstrate the importance of addressing environmental risks quickly. Without timely intervention by knowledgeable professionals, you and your family could get sick and the condition and value of your home may suffer.
The exact steps involved in environmental remediation depend on the hazard(s) present on the residential property. Generally, ATI Restoration will undertake the following:
Our team conducts a thorough assessment of the property to identify the extent and nature of the contamination. This may involve testing for specific contaminants such as mold, lead, asbestos, etc. If necessary, we will enlist environmental hygienists to help us identify the nature and severity of the hazard.
Based on our findings, we develop a customized plan outlining the steps needed to address the contamination. The plan includes details such as the scope of work, timeline, safety measures, required resources, and a cost estimate.
Containment measures are implemented to prevent further spread of contaminants to unaffected areas of the home. This may involve sealing off contaminated areas, using barriers or negative air pressure systems to contain airborne contaminants, and implementing proper ventilation.
Contaminated materials are either removed from the property or treated to eliminate the hazard. For example, mold-infested materials may be safely removed and disposed of, while asbestos-containing materials may be encapsulated or abated using specialized techniques.
Affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated using appropriate techniques and cleaning agents. This helps to ensure that all traces of contaminants are effectively removed, minimizing the risk of re-contamination.
Once remediation is complete, our crews perform post-remediation testing to verify that contaminant levels have been reduced to acceptable levels. This may involve air quality testing, surface sampling, and other methods to ensure that it is safe to return to your home.
ATI abides by all reporting and documentation requirements. We keep meticulous records of the work performed, including before-and-after photos, test results, and any necessary permits or certifications. This documentation serves as proof that the property has been properly remediated and can be provided to homeowners, regulatory agencies, or insurance companies as needed.
In some cases, ongoing monitoring may be recommended to ensure that contamination does not reoccur. Our remediation team can provide guidance on preventative measures to help homeowners ensure that the environment inside their home is healthy.
The duration of environmental remediation depends on the nature and severity of the loss. Removing small patches of mold might only take a few days, while more complex problems (such as the removal of large quantities of lead or asbestos-containing materials) will generally take longer.
With our 24-Hour Emergency Response, ATI Restoration will arrive on your property as soon as possible. After a comprehensive inspection, our environmental remediation specialists will identify the services needed to remove the hazards and begin work right away.
Our goal is to get you back to your home quickly while taking all safety precautions and performing remediation work to the highest standard. The vast majority of insurance companies recommend ATI. If you suffer a covered loss to your home, our team can help expedite the claims process.

Exposure to damp and moldy environments can cause various health problems, including allergic reactions, fever, respiratory issues, vomiting and nausea and skin rashes. Different types of mold can cause health issues of varying severity. It is important to follow Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines and standards when dealing with mold.
Prolonged exposure can develop into complicated chronic health conditions, including chronic headaches and fatigue, asthma, upper respiratory infection, dermatitis, memory loss, nerve issues, autoimmune disease, and much more.
Yes. It can lead to health problems common with other mold exposures but can also cause black mold poisoning (“stachybotryotoxicosis”), certain types of cancer and, sometimes, death. Black mold removal is best left to professionals.
Since mold damage can cause health problems and structural damage, removal will mitigate these issues and prevent it from spreading further. Mold removal also improves indoor air quality and can simultaneously remove and address other allergens like mildew from the affected area. With a full-service disaster recovery firm like ATI, we can also repair and replace damaged or ruined ceiling tiles, drywall, grout, and other porous materials that have visible mold or water damage.
The main difference is that mold removal physically removes all mold spores, while mold remediation focuses on returning mold levels to normal.
It’s important to engage a third-party Industrial Hygienist to test samples. Based on findings, an appropriate remediation course of action is determined. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that a mold remediation service is required if the mold growth covers more than 10 square feet.
Regularly check areas with high moisture content and clean with disinfectants and/or antimicrobial solutions. Keep those areas as dry as possible to prevent a mold infestation.
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.
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.
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.
