ABATEMENT PROCESS

Isolation

ERI technicians will isolate the work area by placing impermeable barrier plastic over doors, windows, vents, and other openings. Using plastic, duct tape and staples, the work area will be sealed at its perimeter, creating a “containment.”

Air Filtration

Air filtration devices will then be installed to draw air from the work area through a HEPA filter, exhausting the filtered air outside and creating negative pressure inside the containment.

Removal

Once the containment is set and negative pressure is established, the asbestos-containing materials will be wetted and removed carefully and deliberately.

Decontamination

Upon completion of the removal process, the remaining surfaces, including the containment, will be thoroughly decontaminated using HEPA vacuums, wet wipes, and other cleaning tools to eliminate any residual dust or debris.
