Dec-Tam Corporation − Environmental Remediation
Environmental Remediation
Asbestos
The removal of asbestos containing fireproofing from structural
beams by Dec-Tam technicians in full personal protective
equipment.
Mold
Mold may be removed from
non porous surfaces, however,
porous materials such as fabric and paper coated gypsum board must often
be discarded.
Mercury
The proper removal and
disposal of mercury following a spill requires slow and
meticulous efforts on the part of our environmental
technicians.
PCBs
PCBs are highly carcinogenic
and are frequently found in
paints and caulking
materials. They can leach deep into the substrate and often require
aggressive remediation techniques such as roto-peening.
Guano
Bird & bat guano, typically
found in aircraft hangars,
church steeples and attics,
can cause histoplasmosis and
must be removed by trained
and fully
protected
environmental
technicians.
Lead
Lead paint may be removed from underlying wood or metal
substrates by blasting or chemical means to prepare surfaces
for a new finish.
