Asbestos abatement

Asbestos-containing materials are common in older buildings and must be handled by licensed professionals when disturbed. When asbestos is identified, it becomes a critical part of the project scope that must be addressed before work can continue.

Our Asbestos Abatement Process

SafetY & Compliance without unneeded delays

Asbestos is rarely part of the original plan. It’s typically discovered after work has already started on a necessary repair or a planned remodel, and it can quickly change the scope and timeline.

We address that by incorporating the required abatement into the overall project. Using controlled processes that meet all applicable EPA and state requirements, we keep the work organized, compliant, and moving forward so the project doesn’t stall.

Step 1: Planning & Scope of Work

Preparing regulatory filings and notifications

Before work begins, the project scope, site conditions, and regulatory requirements are reviewed. Required notifications and filings are submitted to the appropriate state agencies in Oregon or Washington, and a documented abatement plan is developed to define containment methods, work practices, and waste handling requirements.

We incorporate this into the overall project plan so timelines, access, and next steps are clearly defined from the start.

Step 2: Site Prep & Containment

Protecting and isolating the work area

The work area is isolated using physical barriers, negative air systems, and controlled access points. These measures are designed to prevent asbestos fibers from migrating outside the work zone and to protect adjacent occupied or operational areas.

We coordinate this setup with the rest of the project to minimize disruption and maintain safe working conditions.

Step 3: Controlled Removal of Materials

Using established safety and work methods

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are removed using established methods designed to limit fiber release. Wet methods, engineering controls, and careful handling are used throughout the process to manage exposure and protect surrounding areas.

This work is carried out using controlled, regulated processes while we manage how it fits into the overall project.

Step 4: Waste Handling & Transport

Managing regulated materials safely

Removed materials are packaged, labeled, and transported in accordance with applicable regulations. Waste is delivered to approved disposal facilities in Oregon or Washington, following required documentation and handling procedures.

We ensure this process is completed properly and documented as part of the overall project record.

Step 5: Final Clearance

Transitioning Back to the Plan

After removal and cleanup, the work area is inspected and, where required, clearance testing is completed to confirm it’s ready for the next phase of work. Final documentation, including waste records and any clearance results, is compiled for the project file.

Because asbestos is often discovered after work has already started, it introduces changes to the project that can affect the schedule. We manage that by coordinating closely with all parties involved, particularly expected completion dates, to make sure the next phase is ready to proceed without unnecessary gaps.

Let us help you build back better

Asbestos abatement often requires removing walls, flooring, and other materials. Once that work is complete, the space still needs to be repaired and rebuilt.

We handle that next step by repairing and rebuilding the affected areas so the project continues without delays or the need to coordinate another contractor.
