Question 4

What happens during the asbestos abatement process?

Accepted Answer

A: Cobra Construction follows a meticulous, safety-first approach to asbestos abatement. We start with an inspection and assessment to find asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).

The area is cleaned with HEPA vacuums and damp wiping.  Removed asbestos is bagged, labeled, and sent to an approved disposal facility. We finish with air quality testing to ensure no asbestos fibers remain. Our commitment to safety, compliance, and customer satisfaction ensures an effective abatement process.
