Asbestos Abatement Queens, NY

The white chalky lagging wrapped around old boiler and basement pipes is one of the most common asbestos-containing materials in pre-1980 buildings. As it ages it crumbles, and crumbling, friable insulation releases fibers into the air with the slightest disturbance.

We never disturb suspect material. The work runs in partnership with NY State DOL-licensed abatement contractors, who file the ICR 56 notification and remove the lagging under sealed negative-air containment with HEPA filtration.

The material is removed and disposed of as regulated waste, and independent air clearance confirms the space is safe before reoccupancy. All notifications and clearance results are documented for your file.

In pre-war apartment buildings, schools, and offices, asbestos pipe and duct lagging runs above drop ceilings and through mechanical chases where damage often goes unseen. A renovation, a leak, or a tradesperson working in the ceiling can release fibers across an occupied space.

We survey the suspect material and keep the area undisturbed. NY State DOL-licensed abatement contractors file the ICR 56 notification and remove the lagging under negative-air containment with HEPA filtration, scheduled around building operations to limit disruption.

The lagging is removed and the space is cleared by independent air testing before it is returned to use. Scope, notifications, and clearance are documented for your property manager and your file.

The 9-by-9 and 12-by-12 vinyl floor tiles and the black cutback mastic beneath them are a frequent asbestos source in pre-war and mid-century buildings. Sanding, scraping, or breaking the tile during a remodel is exactly what releases fibers, so it should never be removed dry by hand.

We identify the material and keep it intact. NY State DOL-licensed abatement contractors then file the notification and remove the tile and mastic under controlled, wetted conditions with proper containment.

The flooring and mastic are removed and disposed of as regulated waste, and the substrate is cleared for your new floor. Notifications and clearance documentation are provided for your records.

Asbestos removal is heavily regulated for good reason. Doing it without sealed containment, negative air, and proper notification puts occupants at risk and can carry serious legal and financial liability for a property owner.

Every project runs in partnership with NY State DOL-licensed abatement contractors, who file the ICR 56 notification and build sealed containment with negative-air HEPA filtration before any material is touched. We coordinate the project and an independent clearance inspector, and we are not an asbestos testing service.

Independent air clearance confirms fiber levels are safe before the containment comes down and the space is reoccupied. The full file of notifications, scope, and clearance is delivered for your records.
