Asbestos Abatement

Facing concerns about asbestos in your Northern Nevada home or business, particularly in Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, or Truckee? You’ve found the right partner. At Rome Environmental, we’re a licensed and insured company specializing in safe, efficient, and cost-effective asbestos abatement services, including asbestos removal.

Asbestos abatement is the process of identifying, containing, and removing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) from a building or structure. Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was once widely used in building materials due to its heat resistance, strength, and insulating properties. However, inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious health problems. Asbestos abatement is necessary to protect occupants from these risks.

When inhaled, asbestos fibers can lodge deep within the lungs. Over time, these fibers can cause scarring and inflammation, leading to a variety of health problems, including:

• Asbestosis: A serious lung disease that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and difficulty breathing.
• Lung cancer: Asbestos is a known carcinogen, and asbestos exposure significantly increases the risk of lung cancer.
• Mesothelioma: A rare form of cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, chest, or abdomen.

• Asbestos Abatement and Removal: Our certified technicians safely remove ACMs from your home or business in Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee, following strict EPA guidelines. This involves creating a negative pressure containment zone, meticulously removing ACMs, and ensuring proper disposal at a licensed facility.
• Asbestos Testing: We offer comprehensive asbestos testing services to identify the presence and type of ACMs in your property, regardless of location in Northern Nevada. We utilize certified laboratory analysis to provide accurate results and guide the next steps.
• Asbestos Encapsulation: In some cases, encapsulation may be a suitable alternative to removal. Encapsulation involves sealing ACMs with a special coating to prevent the release of fibers. We can advise you on the best course of action for your specific situation, considering factors like the type and condition of the ACMs, and the planned use of the space.
• Asbestos Abatement Plans: We will develop a customized plan that outlines the scope of work, safety procedures, and disposal methods for your asbestos abatement project, wherever it’s located in Northern Nevada. This plan will be crucial for obtaining any necessary permits and ensuring a safe and efficient project.
• Project Clearance: Once the abatement process is complete, we will conduct air monitoring to ensure the area is safe for re-occupancy in Reno, Carson City, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee. We utilize certified laboratories for air testing to provide peace of mind and adhere to regulatory requirements.

1. Initial Consultation: Contact Rome Environmental for a free consultation. We will discuss your concerns, answer your questions, and assess the potential presence of ACMs in your property.
2. Asbestos Inspection and Testing: Our certified inspectors will collect samples of suspect materials and send them to a certified laboratory for analysis. The laboratory report will identify the presence or absence of asbestos and the type of asbestos fibers present.
3. Developing the Abatement Plan: Based on the inspection results and your specific situation, we will develop a customized asbestos abatement plan outlining the scope of work, containment procedures, removal methods, and disposal protocols.
4. Project Preparation: We will carefully prepare the work area to contain asbestos fibers and protect occupants from exposure. This may involve sealing off the work area, constructing negative pressure containment zones, and utilizing air filtration systems.
5. Asbestos Abatement and Removal: Our certified technicians will meticulously remove ACMs using HEPA-filtered vacuums and following strict safety protocols. All removed materials will be double-bagged and labeled for proper disposal.
6. Air Monitoring and Clearance Testing: Once the abatement is complete, we will conduct air monitoring by a certified laboratory to ensure asbestos fiber levels are below safe occupational exposure limits. Clearance air testing is required before the work area can be safely reoccupied.
7. Project Completion and Documentation: Upon successful clearance testing, we will provide you with a comprehensive project report documenting the entire abatement process.
