Details of Our Los Angeles Asbestos Abatement Services

At Indoor Air Care, we have a successful process to encapsulate, remove and abate asbestos-ridden areas. Equipped with the proper tools and equipment, our team can successfully remove dangerous asbestos without disrupting your daily routine.

For starters, our asbestos abatement services in Los Angles revolves around:

  1. Asbestos surveys and inspections
  2. Asbestos project specifications
  3. Asbestos project air monitoring

When it comes to handling asbestos, we take three main approaches.

  1. Asbestos Enclosure–we will cover the asbestos with a protective material, which will trap the fibers and prevent their unsupervised release into the air.
  2. Asbestos Encapsulation – We can trap the fibers so they can’t be released by applying special sealants on the asbestos.
  3. Asbestos Removal – our licensed experts will eliminate any asbestos-containing materials on your property.

To ensure overall job site safety and project efficiency, our experts will oversee every aspect of job site risk management, from planning to final asbestos disposal at an approved and licensed facility.

Professional Asbestos Testing in Los Angeles

The success of our Los Angeles asbestos abatement service depends on the quality of the results from asbestos inspections or surveys.

We take samples of the supposed product, examine its composition and condition, and recommend the solutions needed, in addition to who is certified to offer the solutions.

For our asbestos inspection/survey in Los Angeles:

  1. Our representative will visit your home to evaluate the scope of work, obtain samples and location maps, and document the condition of the sample materials.
  2. Once the samples have been safely collected, we will take them to an accredited lab for analysis.
  3. After the laboratory has successfully analyzed the samples, we will share the report with you and use it to obtain a permit to proceed with the abatement.

An asbestos test or survey is how we can determine if your home or commercial building has asbestos. We often find asbestos in the following places in and around old buildings: old floor tiles, ceiling tiles, roof shingles and flashing, sidings, and insulation (on boilers, sheeting, ducts, pipes, and fireplaces)

By conducting an asbestos survey of your home, we will determine the following:

  1. The type of asbestos located within the property
  2. The location of all asbestos-containing material (ACM) within the property
  3. The condition of the ACM materials

Depending on the findings, we will advise you on the next best steps to protect your home and health.

Our Los Angeles Asbestos Abatement Process

During the asbestos abatement, the entire job site will be for our authorized personnel only, and you will need to make alternative arrangements for your family, residents or regular workers.

Our process involves:

Presenting an Action Plan

We will follow a safe plan presented by our safety team, which abides by the local Los Angeles asbestos abatement laws and provides details on how to treat the job site, including the preparation and cleanup process.

Isolating the Work Area

With the plan in place, we will mark the hazardous area and inform you to leave the area until completion and clearance tests are performed.

Securing the Regulated Work Area

After inspecting and isolating the work area, we will use thick plastic sheets, air pressure differential, and filtration to seal off the job site securely. We will seal the air ducts and disable the HVAC system.

Removing ACM Material

Donned in protective clothing and respirators for protection, we will remove or repair the ACM. We often put the ACM in waste disposal bags, seal them, and move them out through a decontamination unit.

HEPA Vacuuming

We use special vacuums with HEPA filtration to ensure we don’t disperse asbestos fibers during the abatement process.

Final Cleanup Testing

After removing all ACM, the secure work area will remain in place until we can conduct a clearance test. The test combines air sampling and visual testing, taking samples to verify if abatement has been completed.

Post-Removal Cleanup

Upon approval of the clearance testing, we will clean the work area using HEPA vacuuming and present you with a report on waste shipment records, site logs, permits, and other details.

Los Angeles Asbestos Abatement Regulations

Los Angeles asbestos abatementlaw has strict regulations for asbestos abatement procedures, requiring all workers (on the job site) to wear respirators and multiple layers of protective clothing. The law gives room for four classes of abatement operations, which dictates:

  1. Class I – guides the professional removal of asbestos in thermal system insulation, including furnaces and ductwork.
  2. Class II – guides asbestos abatement in floor tiles, wallboard, roofing, sheeting and construction materials.
  3. Class III – involves repair operations and maintenance work under Classes I and II, but without dry cutting asbestos-containing materials and no ACM can be dropped or thrown on the ground.
  4. Class IV – operations involve custodial work or maintenance of asbestos without being in different contact with the asbestos surfaces. We must wear protective clothing and respirators.

Through our professional Los Angeles asbestos abatement service, we can inspect your space, take samples and include professional lab testing to determine the presence of asbestos.

Our primary reason for asbestos surveys on your property is to protect your family and our team handling the presumed asbestos-containing materials (PACM). Besides, an asbestos survey report is crucial to receive a building permit for your scheduled project.

No, you will not be safer. According to the federal government and Los Angeles asbestos abatement regulations, you must wear protective gear and respirators to protect yourself from the health risks of asbestos fibers.

Asbestos can contaminate your space and environment from fiber releases arising from asbestos products or worn natural mineral deposits. Asbestos can be found in products like floor tiles, roof shingles, cement, automotive brakes, and electrical, plumbing, and structural insulation applications. Asbestos fibers are released into the air when these products are disturbed.

Asbestos presents health risks when the fibers become airborne, which increases the chance of inhalation. When inhaled, asbestos fibers accumulate in the lungs, making breathing difficult, and causing asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer after long-term asbestos exposure.
