Our Abatement Process
-

Inspection coordination
Massachusetts requires a DLS-certified inspector to sample materials before most renovation or demolition work; we help coordinate this.
-

Notification
We file the required asbestos removal notification (ANF-001 / AQ-04) with MassDEP and DLS at least ten (10) working days before work begins.
-

Containment
Sealed, negative-air work areas with HEPA filtration.
-

Removal
Trained, licensed crews remove ACM under strict 454 CMR 28.00 work practices.
-

Disposal
Proper bagging, manifesting, and transport to approved disposal facilities.
-

Clearance
Final cleaning and air clearance (independent project monitor coordinated as required).
Why Compliance Matters
Massachusetts asbestos work is enforced by MassDEP and the Department of Labor Standards, with notification to the local board of health and fire department. Non-compliance carries serious civil and criminal penalties. We handle the paperwork and the regulations so you don't have to.
Abatement + Demolition Under One Roof
Because we self-perform demolition, abatement, and mold remediation, you get one accountable team, one schedule, and one contract.
