We Follow All Health & Safety Regulations for Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos abatement is heavily regulated because improper handling can release dangerous airborne fibers and put lives at risk. For this reason, only licensed, certified asbestos contractors like Big Apple Asbestos Removal are permitted to provide abatement services in NYC. These regulations are enforced by OSHA, the EPA, New York State, and NYC agencies.

Our professionals follow strict safety protocols at every stage of the process. This includes wearing full personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators, gloves, and eye protection to prevent inhalation or skin contact. They isolate the work areas with negative air pressure systems, use HEPA-filtered equipment to capture microscopic fibers, and monitor the air continuously to assess risk levels throughout abatement.

By working with our certified asbestos abatement specialists, you ensure the safety of both workers and occupants in your property.

What's Included in Our Asbestos Abatement Process?

01

Hazard Assessment

We begin by evaluating whether asbestos materials are friable, non-friable or damaged. This helps us decide whether encapsulation, enclosure, or full removal is the safest approach.

02

Containment For Protection

We seal the work zones using 6-mil polyethylene sheets, tape, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers. This prevents asbestos fibers from spreading around.

03

Controlled Abatement Techniques

Depending on the situation, we perform encapsulation (sealing fibers in place), enclosure (isolating materials behind barriers), or safe asbestos removal. 

04

HEPA Filtration & Air Monitoring

Throughout the abatement process, we use continuous HEPA filtration and conduct air monitoring to ensure asbestos fiber levels remain within acceptable limits.

05

Proper Handling & Disposal

All asbestos-containing waste is carefully packaged, labeled, and transported to approved disposal facilities, in accordance with New York State and NYC regulations.

06

Cleanup & Documentation

Once abatement is complete, we perform thorough cleaning and final air quality testing to confirm the area is safe. Clearance documentation is provided for your records.

When to Schedule Asbestos Abatement in New York City?

  • Damaged or Friable Materials: If asbestos-containing materials are crumbling, peeling, or releasing fibers, abatement is important to prevent asbestos exposure.
  • Before Renovations: Renovation or construction projects can disturb asbestos fibers in outdated building materials. Abatement is necessary to control and remove these fibers.
  • After a Positive Inspection: If an inspection identifies asbestos materials that could be disturbed or are damaged, abatement removes or contains the hazard before it becomes a problem.
  • Following Water or Fire Damage: Water intrusion or fire can weaken previously stable asbestos materials, making them friable and more likely to release fibers.
  • High-Traffic Commercial Spaces: Offices, clinics and retail buildings with high foot traffic need timely abatement to protect employees, tenants, and visitors from exposure.
