Will My Business Need to Be Fully Shut Down For Asbestos Removal?

Commercial and industrial asbestos removal is different from residential asbestos removal. When we remove asbestos from residential properties, it is usually throughout the home, and we ask that everyone vacates the premises. This is because the area is smaller than commercial and industrial properties. When it comes to larger buildings, we have more options and flexibility. We can shut small areas down at a time, limiting your losses.
Industrial and commercial buildings that test positive for asbestos usually have it throughout the property, which can be extensive. In these cases, we try to work with the company to find the best times and ways to provide asbestos abatement services. Most times, we can work with companies that do not function 24/7. We remove the asbestos on the days where no one will be present in the building.

In cases where the company never shuts down, things become more complicated. We will need to work in sections. We do this by sealing off one area at a time. We will remove the asbestos from that section, ensure it is safe to reopen, then move to the next. By doing this, we allow the business to continue to function, even if it is at limited capacity. We do our best to work with our commercial clients because we know that stopping production means losing money. We are very flexible and can work with most hours and days. Doing sections at a time may create a longer abatement time overall, but it will allow your company to continue operating while we provide asbestos removal. If your commercial or industrial property does have asbestos, talk with your asbestos abatement company. They should be able to work with you on the removal process.
