Services
Asbestos Removal
Our certified professionals provide comprehensive asbestos removal services for residential and commercial properties. With specialized training and equipment, we safely identify, contain, and dispose of asbestos-containing materials following strict federal and state regulations. The process includes property assessment, containment setup, material removal using HEPA-filtered equipment, and third-party clearance testing to ensure complete safety for occupants and the environment.
Lead Removal
We offer complete lead removal solutions for residential properties contaminated with lead-based paint and other hazardous materials. Our EPA-certified technicians follow strict safety protocols to contain and eliminate lead hazards through specialized removal techniques, HEPA vacuuming, and proper disposal. The service includes pre-removal assessment, containment establishment, safe material extraction, and post-remediation verification testing to ensure complete hazard elimination.
Mold Remediation
Our mold remediation specialists address mold infestations in residential properties using industry-approved methods. The process begins with comprehensive inspection and moisture mapping, followed by containment establishment, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment, and structural drying. We address both visible mold growth and hidden contamination sources while implementing preventive measures to avoid future recurrence through improved moisture control and ventilation solutions.
Demolition Services
We provide full and selective demolition services for residential structures with emphasis on safety and environmental protection. Our services include interior demolition, exterior demolition, and complete building deconstruction using specialized equipment and containment systems. Projects follow strict safety protocols for material handling, dust suppression, and hazardous material management to ensure safe site clearance for subsequent construction.
Disinfection Services
Our commercial-grade disinfection services utilize hospital-grade antimicrobial solutions for residential and commercial properties. The process involves comprehensive surface treatment using electrostatic sprayers that create long-lasting protective barriers against pathogens. We follow CDC-recommended protocols for virus and bacteria elimination while maintaining safe re-entry procedures and providing documentation of completed disinfection treatments.
