What DEKON Abates
- Asbestos abatement — friable and non-friable removal, encapsulation, and enclosure: floor tile, mastic, pipe wrap, insulation, roofing, drywall systems, and transite.
- Asbestos soil & large-scale — excavation, transport, and licensed disposal of asbestos-contaminated soil, including multi-acre sites under AHERA supervision.
- Lead abatement — removal, encapsulation, and cleanup of lead-based paint and lead-contaminated material, with clearance verification.
- Demolition support — pre-demolition surveys and abatement so demolition proceeds clean and compliant.
How a DEKON abatement job runs
- Inspection & notification. Confirm the material by survey or sampling, then file the required NM NESHAP notification before work begins.
- Containment & controls. Full containment with negative air, HEPA filtration, and two-stage decontamination. Site-specific health and safety plan on every job.
- Wet-method removal. All material saturated before it is touched, removed wet, and sealed into double-bagged 6-mil poly, labeled immediately.
- Disposal. Manifested transport under DEKON's DOT authority to a licensed facility, with chain of custody.
- Clearance & closeout. Calibrated clearance air sampling confirms the space is clean, followed by federal-spec closeout documentation at demobilization.
