What To Expect From Your Asbestos Ceiling Test

Schedule an Appointment

You can schedule by calling (503) 292-5346 or scheduling online. One of our AHERA certified asbestos inspectors will be assigned to your appointment.

DEQ forms and order materials

The Washington Department of Ecology requires several applications and forms to be filled out and paid prior to an asbestos abatement project being completed. Alpha also orders the appropriate material, personal protective equipment, and tooling necessary to complete the abatement project.

Day prior to your work

Everything in the area that is to be abated, from floor to ceiling, that is not part of the structure must be removed from the area. For most projects, it is required that no one is present during the abatement process.

Start of work

Generally, our abatement crews will be on-site between 6:30-7:30 AM. Our site supervisor and crew will establish a negative pressure enclosure and a decontamination area.

Prep and negative air pressure enclosure

A negative air pressure enclosure is off-limits to anyone other than licensed professionals according to the DEQ. Negative air pressure is required to keep the air inside from becoming overly contaminated. It uses a large HEPA filter to catch asbestos-containing material.

Project coming to a close

Once the abatement process has been completed, a third-party air clearance, which is required by the DEQ, is conducted. Following a positive air clearance result, a final cleaning and thorough walk-through are completed.

Closure

Alpha will send over a closure letter describing the project, air clearance passing, and that all proper paperwork has been filed with the DEQ.

No Hassle. No Obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does asbestos abatement cost in Vancouver, WA?

Asbestos abatement pricing depends on various factors, including:

– The amount and type of material involved
– The size of the containment area
– How much waste needs to be disposed of

Since every project is different, Alpha provides a free onsite estimate for Vancouver, WA properties to give you an accurate number before work begins.

What certification do asbestos workers need in Washington?

The state of Washington requires asbestos abatement to be performed by professionals who are certified by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries. Additionally, projects must be reported through the Washington Department of Ecology and, in Clark County, the Southwest Clean Air Agency. Oregon-based projects follow a different process, filing instead with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.

What happens on each day of asbestos abatement in Vancouver?

Alpha’s asbestos abatement process starts with scheduling and an inspection that follows the guidelines set by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act and other relevant laws. We also file the required notification paperwork before work begins.

The day before removal, you will prepare your property for abatement by clearing the work area of movable items, if it is safe to do so. Typically, no one is on-site once abatement starts. On removal day, crews typically arrive between 6:30 and 7:30 AM to seal off the work area with HEPA-filtered, negative-pressure containment that is restricted to licensed staff.

Once removal is complete, a third-party air clearance test confirms the space is safe, followed by final cleanup and a closure letter documenting the completed work.
