How long after asbestos removal is it safe to occupy a home?
Generally, it is safe to return once post-remediation testing confirms that no airborne particulates remain. Clearance air testing is a key step in the asbestos removal process to ensure the area is safe for re-entry. According to ELSM Law, there are six different types of asbestos, each with its own risk level and removal considerations, making professional remediation essential. For reliable results and peace of mind, trust a certified team like General Contracting Group (GCG Environmental). Contact us today to schedule professional asbestos removal and clearance testing you can depend on.
Can I stay in my house during asbestos removal?
It depends on where the asbestos removal work is being done in the house. If the affected area can be completely sealed off and proper containment measures are in place, it may be possible to remain in other parts of the home. However, for safety reasons, temporary relocation is often recommended.
How long does it take to remove asbestos?
Asbestos removal typically takes one day, depending on the quantity and location of the material involved. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time to complete safely and in compliance with regulations.
What is the process of lead removal?
Lead removal typically involves wire brushing and wet-hand scraping, often with the aid of non-flammable solvents to minimize dust. While different from asbestos removal, both processes require strict safety measures and certified professionals to prevent contamination and health risks.
How long does lead removal take?
On average, lead remediation takes one to three days, depending on the size of the area and the level of contamination, from our experience. Similar to asbestos removal, timing can vary based on site conditions and safety protocols.
