Asbestos Removal Services
Professional Asbestos Abatement in The Washington Metro Area
Once considered a breakthrough in construction, asbestos is now known to pose serious health risks. That’s why safe and professional removal is crucial for protecting your property and the people inside it. Before starting renovations or demolition projects, an asbestos survey helps ensure harmful particles don’t become airborne and spread throughout the environment. At United Water Restoration Group of The Washington Metro Area, we provide OSHA- and NESHAP-compliant, AHERA-certified asbestos removal services for homes, businesses, industrial facilities, schools, and municipalities.

Asbestos Removal Process
United Water Restoration Group of The Washington Metro Area works with a trusted partner who provides asbestos testing. These skilled professionals will meticulously cut samples of potentially asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and securely transport them in sealed plastic packets to a specialized laboratory.
The abatement process should begin if asbestos has been detected. It begins with the containment of the working area. Experts will seal the area with thick plastic sheets and put appropriate warning signs. During asbestos removal, HVAC systems should be disabled to prevent asbestos particles from escaping into other areas of the building.
Then, technicians remove asbestos-containing materials using hand tools, place them into asbestos disposal waste bags, and dispose of them following the regional guidelines. Technicians performing asbestos abatement should wear full-face mask respirator and abatement suits that are bagged and sealed after work and disposed of together with asbestos waste.
After the removal of hazardous materials, our technicians meticulously clean all surfaces within the contained working area using wet wipes. Any remaining asbestos particles in the air are efficiently eliminated using powerful HEPA vacuums.
As part of our commitment to safety, our company consistently conducts final air testing to verify the thoroughness of asbestos removal. Furthermore, United Water Restoration Group is proficient in handling all necessary asbestos repairs, replacing removed materials with new, safe alternatives.
Friable vs. Non-Friable Asbestos
Friability refers to how easily asbestos-containing materials can break apart and release hazardous fibers into the air. Materials with a higher concentration of asbestos fibers are more fragile, making them more dangerous to health. Friable asbestos—often found in insulation boards, pipe lagging, sprayed coatings, and thermal insulation—can be crumbled by hand and may contain more than 15% (sometimes up to 100%) asbestos. On the other hand, non-friable (bonded) asbestos, such as cement sheets, vinyl floor tiles, or decorative coatings, is more solid and rigid, making it less likely to release fibers under normal conditions.
At United Water Restoration Group of The Washington Metro Area, we understand the risks associated with both friable and non-friable asbestos and provide professional removal services to keep your property safe.
