Asbestos Testing Toledo Process
ASBESTOS CONTAINMENT
Preparing The Area
The first thing we do, before we take our samples, is prepare the testing area. To prevent the spreading of possibly harful materials, our team will construct a containment barrier. This step involves closing off air flow to the room, strategically placing plastic sheeting around the testing site, and spraying down the surfaces with water to dampen the materials, reducing dust.
EXTRACTING ASBESTOS SAMPLE
Extract and Contain the Sample
Once the containment barrier has been constructed, our technicians will mark the previously identified materials to be tested and strategically remove small samples of those materials. This process will be completed attempting to leave behind as little damage as possible. Once the sample is removed, our technicians will spray down the sample with water to decrease airborne particles. Once the sample is moist, we place it into a secure bag, label the bag and then place it into a second airtight bag to send off to the lab.
CLEANING THE ASBESTOS SITE
Cleanup
After we bag up all of our samples, we will quickly move on to cleaning up the area. We begin the cleanup process by folding up and bagging the plastic containment sheeting. Our concern will always be to minimize airborne particles which means taking care to disturb the plastic sheeting as little as possible while folding and disposing of it. Once we bag up the plastic sheeting our team will begin vacuuming the area. To prevent any further exposure where we took our samples, our technicians will paint over any exposed materials, then dispose of the vacuum bag, paintbrush and PPE used in this process.
