Asbestos and Lead Remediation Services
Meridian performs inspections for Asbestos and Lead contamination. We also provide remediation and abatement of materials contaminated by Asbestos and Lead.
Hazardous materials that affect health and safety in the United States are becoming increasingly part of our everyday lives. Building materials used in construction can contain mixtures of asbestos and lead that can be deadly or detrimental to our health and are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Strict enforcement of the handling and disposal of asbestos and lead has required the EPA to monitor and license companies engaged in abatement of these materials. Meridian is licensed to conduct regulated asbestos activities to remove and encapsulate friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and is a certified company for the EPA Lead Remodeling, Repair & Painting (RRP) program.
Protecting Your Health and Safety
When dealing with hazardous materials like asbestos and lead, professional remediation is crucial to ensure a safe and healthy environment. At Meridian, we specialize in the detection, removal, and safe disposal of asbestos and lead contaminants, helping to safeguard your property and protect those inside.
Asbestos Remediation
Asbestos was widely used in construction materials for decades, but it’s now known to pose serious health risks, including lung disease and cancer when its fibers are disturbed and inhaled. If your property was built before 1980, asbestos could be present in insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, and other materials.
At Meridian, our licensed and certified team is experienced in identifying and safely removing asbestos from residential, commercial, and industrial properties. Our asbestos remediation process includes:
-
Inspection & Testing: We conduct thorough inspections and testing to detect the presence of asbestos in your property’s building materials.
-
Containment: Our team establishes safe work areas with proper containment measures to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers during removal.
-
Safe Removal & Disposal: We carefully remove and dispose of all asbestos-containing materials following EPA and OSHA regulations to ensure your property is free from asbestos hazards.
-
Air Quality Monitoring: To ensure the complete safety of your space, we perform air quality testing both during and after the removal process.
Lead Remediation
Lead is another hazardous material that was commonly used in paints and plumbing before it was banned in 1978. Lead exposure, especially for young children, can lead to serious health issues, including developmental delays, cognitive impairment, and nervous system damage.
Our lead remediation services are designed to eliminate the risk of lead exposure in your home or business:
-
Lead Testing & Identification: We use advanced techniques to test for the presence of lead in paint, soil, and water.
-
Lead Paint Removal: Our team is trained to safely remove or encapsulate lead-based paints, ensuring no harmful particles are released into your environment.
-
Plumbing & Water Systems: If lead is present in your property’s plumbing, we can replace old pipes to ensure your water supply is safe and lead-free.
-
Post-Remediation Clearance: After lead abatement, we conduct clearance testing to confirm that the area is safe for reoccupation.
Our Commitment to Safety
Meridian takes every precaution to ensure that our asbestos and lead remediation services meet the highest safety standards. Our teams follow strict protocols and adhere to all local, state, and federal regulations, including those set by the EPA, OSHA, and HUD. We also provide detailed documentation throughout the process, giving you peace of mind that the job was done right.
