Asbestos decontamination in Montreal
For a very long time, asbestos was used in the construction of some buildings. This material caused enormous damage before the authorities realized the danger it posed and sounded its end through rules to be respected for its evacuation from the structures. Asbestos removal is defined as the procedure of decontamining a structure in which asbestos is present in large quantities. Even in small quantities, the authorities require owners to regularly monitor the effects of this material in order to completely eliminate it from your living environment. To successfully decontaminate asbestos, you must call on professionals who master the techniques and equipment to be used. Exterminateur Rive-Nord presents itself to you as your ally specializing in effective asbestos removal in Montreal and several cities on the North Shore.
The need for asbestos decontamination
If you do not know, asbestos is characterized by increased toxicity and very dangerous to health. A decontamination procedure is necessary as soon as a person leaves an area in which the material is found. Similarly, you need to proceed with asbestos removal when the removal work is finished. Because asbestos is a hazardous material to breathe, you should not move it if you do not wear the necessary equipment to prevent it from being released into the air. Thus, Exterminator North Shore helps you to completely clean the entire asbestos area, the tools used to do the asbestos removal operation, anyone involved in the asbestos work and anyone present during the work. Finally, we are also cleaning up the asbestos decontamination areas.
Asbestos decontamination, a matter for professionals
The decontamination of an area in which asbestos appears remains a rather delicate task and especially during renovation work, you must ensure that you comply with certain procedures rigorously. Exterminator North Shore has specialists trained in the field to cut according to the specific rules and professional uses the areas to be cleaned. We proceed to the creation of specific areas called dirty and clean. This cutting ensures that the fibres, residues and dust of the hazardous material are not transported out of the contaminated area. The dirty asbestos decontamination area is used to vacuum and clean contaminated surfaces and clothing as well as all protective equipment. The clean decontamination area is used to store clean respiratory protective equipment. The clean change zone separates the previous two to minimize cross-contamination.
Types of asbestos removal operations
- Wet asbestos removal which is defined as wet cleaning. We use disposable cloths to purify all contaminated surfaces and objects. This operation has enough rules to observe so as not to contaminate other objects. We eliminate all equipment used for decontamination in order to avoid the presence of asbestos residues in your surroundings;
- Dry asbestos removal involves rolling or folding contaminated leaves. We make sure that they are sealed. As equipment, we use the specific vacuum cleaner and intended to clean asbestos. Dry decontamination is used by our professionals when they feel the risk due to electricity in case of wet decontamination.
Other types of asbestos decontamination
In addition to the areas, people and tools must also know a decontamination to avoid dust and residues of the material in your environment. Exterminator North Shore intervenes in several cities such as Terrebonne, L’Assomption, Laval, Repentigny, Mirabel, Saint-Eustache, Blainville, Boisbriand, Sainte-Thérèse and Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines for the removal of asbestos from people and tools.
Decontamination of people
The team of professionals and all persons who collaborated in one way or another in the asbestos removal operation must follow personal decontamination procedures. You must keep your respirator and PPE until the end of the work. You need to remove them after cleaning and dispose of them according to the rules put in place by the team of experts. Personal protective equipment and shoes enter the basket of waste to be disposed of after cleaning. Exterminator North Shore has all the tricks and assists you so that everything goes well.

Decontamination of objects

Once the experts have finished removing asbestos from the areas and people, they will take care of cleaning the tools with a damp cloth to remove all traces of dust and residues. After this step, they will be able to pack the tools in a double bag to label. Finally, they will be able to eliminate them according to the appropriate process.
