Interior Asbestos Removal
Our team initiated the project by targeting the house’s interior, specifically the basement, where approximately 950 square feet of asbestos-containing floor tile was identified. The tiles were meticulously removed and embedded in concrete slabs beneath wooden floors in a cottage area. This part of the operation involved demolishing the wooden floor to access the asbestos tiles below, conducted within a HEPA-filtered negative air workspace and a three-stage decontamination unit.
Removing asbestos from confined spaces requires precision and utmost care to prevent fiber release. Utilizing advanced engineering controls, our experts ensured that the asbestos removal was safe and efficient, minimizing disruption to the household.
Vermiculite Insulation Removal
Safe Handling of Vermiculite Insulation
The vermiculite insulation, identified primarily around the perimeter of Room 2 and potentially in Room 4, the hallway, and the bathroom, was safely extracted. Because a significant percentage of vermiculite insulation may be contaminated with asbestos, our licensed technicians used specialized equipment to handle and remove approximately 100 square feet of this hazardous material. Ensuring that no asbestos fibers were released during the process was paramount, and our equipment and techniques were up to the task.

Meticulous Asbestos Window Glaze Removal
Nine wood sash windows in the garage area had asbestos-containing glaze. Asbestos glaze is particularly hazardous due to its friable nature—the ease with which it can crumble and release fibers into the air. Our team deployed stringent engineering controls to remove these windows, safely preventing asbestos contamination.
Slate Roof and Slate Putty Removal
Comprehensive Roof Abatement
The roof of the main structure and adjacent buildings, including garages and sunrooms, housed approximately 2,500 square feet of asbestos-containing slater’s putty and slate roof shingles. The valleys and perimeter of these roofs necessitated meticulous attention. Using scaffolding and harnesses, our team safely worked at heights to remove the slater’s putty without compromising any surrounding areas. Employing rigorous safety standards ensured the asbestos was completely contained and adequately disposed of, safeguarding the environment and the property’s occupants.
