How it works
A Documented Process, First Look to Verified Result.
- 01 Licensed Inspection & Sampling A RIDOH-certified inspector surveys the property and collects samples from suspect materials. Lab results in 24–48 hours with a written inspection report.
- 02 DEM Notification & Abatement Plan We file required Rhode Island DEM pre-notification and develop a site-specific abatement plan before any removal begins.
- 03 Negative-Pressure Containment Work areas sealed with polyethylene sheeting. HEPA air scrubbers maintain negative pressure throughout the abatement — no fiber migration outside the containment zone.
- 04 Wet-Method Removal ACM wetted to suppress fiber release. Abatement workers in full PPE, OSHA 1926.1101 compliant throughout.
- 05 Sealed Disposal & Licensed Transport All ACM double-bagged in labeled impermeable containers, transported by licensed haulers. Chain-of-custody documentation provided.
- 06 Independent Clearance Air Testing Third-party industrial hygienist conducts post-abatement air sampling. Written clearance certificate provided before re-occupancy.

Common questions
Before You Call, the Honest Answers.
Are Rhode Island's 1960s ranch homes at asbestos risk?
Yes. Ranch homes built in Rhode Island between 1955 and 1975 commonly contain textured ceiling compounds, 9×9 vinyl floor tiles, and HVAC duct insulation with asbestos. These are the most common asbestos-containing materials in Rhode Island's post-war housing stock and are regularly encountered during kitchen, bathroom, and flooring renovation projects.
How does asbestos affect Rhode Island's active real estate market?
Rhode Island's high transaction volume — buyers seeking Providence proximity at lower prices — means asbestos findings come up regularly in pre-1980 property inspections. Post-war ranch homes and Cape Cods have the highest hit rates for floor tiles and duct insulation. Pre-listing surveys and abatement clearance documentation are increasingly standard for Rhode Island sellers.
