If you have a commercial or industrial structure that is damaged or undergoing remediation, you could be spreading hazardous airborne substances through your facility. Lead, asbestos, mold and other contaminants are common in many buildings. These substances are easily kicked up to travel from their site of origin, causing additional property damage and lasting impacts on health.
URI is the leading regional provider for disaster planning and emergency restoration services, with over 20 years of experience working with all types of airborne hazards. We command one of the largest equipment inventories in the industry and have the skills, tools and techniques to ensure total containment of your space. Our effective containment services create a complete and total seal around the affected area, protecting your property and the people who work and visit there.
Containment is vital for any project where you risk exposure to asbestos, lead, mold and other airborne substances. Even if your project is for the removal of a different substance or material, containment is necessary to keep other risks under control. Asbestos containment is essential for any project involving buildings constructed before 1987. Although lead paint was outlawed nine years before that, lead paint containment is also critical when working on many commercial and industrial structures in active use today.
Mold spores are virtually everywhere, and many different types can cause adverse health effects ranging from mild to severe. Mold is attracted to areas with high humidity, excessive moisture and standing water. When disrupted, mold colonies distribute spores into the air to spread and look for other spaces to grow. Containment prevents mold spores from leaving the designated area.
With rapid professional containment around your incident site, you can keep the project limited in size to reduce costs and expedite the remediation process. Containment places a physical barrier between the contaminated area and the outside world, preventing unauthorized access to keep people safe and limit liability. The barrier also provides concealment, blocking the sounds of construction and the view of the area until it’s ready for the public.
URI containment services deliver additional benefits you can take advantage of as well, including:
