Detailed Vermiculite Removal: Ensuring Safety and Efficiency

Preparing for Safe Vermiculite Removal

The first step in this vermiculite abatement project involved securing the workspace. Our team meticulously covered all penetrations from the attic to the living area using poly and blue painter’s tape to ensure no asbestos fibers would escape into the home.

Utilizing Advanced Vermiculite Removal Equipment and Techniques

With the workspace secured, our experts deployed a negative air HEPA-filtered system and a 3-stage decontamination unit. Such advanced technology is crucial in protecting our technicians and homeowners from exposure. We proudly utilize professional-grade equipment and techniques that adhere to OSHA and EPA best practices.

Thorough Vermiculite Abatement and HEPA Cleaning

Once the workspace was set up, the real challenge began. Despite the restricted space, our team efficiently removed approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of asbestos-containing vermiculite. All removed materials were safely contained and disposed of, ensuring no contamination occurred. Following the removal, the entire area was HEPA vacuumed, with critical barriers and floor coverings meticulously cleaned to ensure a thorough job.

Third-Party Asbestos Abatement Clearance

Safety is our utmost priority. In accordance with RIDOH regulations, an independent hygienist conducted third-party clearance to ensure all asbestos remnants were completely eradicated. This step validates our high standards and assures homeowners of their safety post-abatement.

Vermiculite Removal Challenges Overcome

The restricted space and low ceiling of the attic in this residential home in Pawtucket, RI, posed significant obstacles. Operating in such confined quarters demands a high level of expertise and precision, all qualities found within our experienced team at Banner Environmental Services.

Key Project Challenges:

Limited Access: The cramped conditions necessitated careful planning and execution.
