Our Restoration and Response Containment Practices
At Priority Response, we understand the importance of effective containment practices when it comes to restoration work. Our team is committed to ensuring that the affected area is contained to prevent further damage and protect the health and safety of our clients and their property. This page will outline our containment practices and explain why they are so crucial to the restoration process.
What is containment?
Containment refers to the process of isolating the affected area to prevent the spread of contaminants and protect the rest of the property. Containment is particularly important when dealing with mold, asbestos, and other hazardous materials, as these substances can pose serious health risks if they are not properly contained.
Why containment is important
- To prevent further damage: By containing the affected area, we can prevent the spread of contaminants and minimize the damage to the rest of the property.
- To protect the health and safety of our clients and our team: Containment helps to limit exposure to hazardous materials and prevent the spread of airborne particles.
- To comply with regulations: There are strict regulations in place governing the handling and disposal of hazardous materials. Containment is a crucial part of complying with these regulations and ensuring that the restoration process is carried out safely and legally.
our containtment practices
Setting up a containment area: We begin by setting up a containment area around the affected area. This involves sealing off the area with plastic sheeting and using negative air pressure machines to create a vacuum that pulls air out of the containment area.
Wearing protective gear: Our team members wear protective gear, including respirators, gloves, and suits, to prevent exposure to hazardous materials.
Removing contaminated materials: We carefully remove any contaminated materials from the area, taking care to avoid spreading the contaminants further.
Cleaning and disinfecting: Once the contaminated materials have been removed, we thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to ensure that all traces of contaminants have been eliminated.
Disposing of hazardous materials: We dispose of hazardous materials in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations to ensure that they are handled safely and legally.
Monitoring and testing: Throughout the restoration process, we monitor the air quality in the containment area and test for the presence of hazardous materials to ensure that the area is safe for our clients and our team.
