Biohazard Remediation
Asbestos & Lead Abatement in Indiana
Indiana has a lot of pre-1978 housing stock. If your building predates that, assume lead paint and possible asbestos until testing says otherwise.

In detail
How we approach asbestos & lead
Asbestos assessment and containment
We start with a thorough Asbestos Assessment and Containment plan. We identify areas with asbestos-containing materials and implement measures to prevent the spread of asbestos fibers during removal, so you get a safe and controlled process.
Safe asbestos removal and disposal
On safety, that means the Safe Asbestos Removal and Disposal process. Our team uses specialized equipment and adheres to strict protocols to safely remove and dispose of asbestos materials, minimizing the risk of exposure, and the respiratory diseases, including mesothelioma, that exposure causes.
Lead assessment and encapsulation
For spaces containing lead-based materials, our Lead Abatement Services provide a careful solution. We start with a detailed Lead Assessment and Encapsulation plan. We identify areas with lead-based materials and employ encapsulation techniques to contain and mitigate lead hazards, leaving the space safe and controlled abatement process.
Lead removal and safe disposal
On safety, that means the Lead Removal and Safe Disposal process. Using specialized methods, we safely remove and dispose of lead-based materials, protecting the health of occupants and the environment.
Financing is available
Unexpected incidents come with unexpected expenses. Through our partnership with Afterpay you can split the cost of remediation into manageable payments, pay over 6 or 12 months, or in 4 interest-free instalments, so getting your property safe again is never held up by cash flow.
Questions
Asbestos & Lead FAQs
How do I know if my Indiana home has lead paint?
If it was built before 1978, assume it does until testing proves otherwise. That is the year lead-based paint was banned for residential use in the United States. Much of Indiana's housing stock predates it. Intact, undisturbed lead paint is comparatively low risk; the danger comes from deteriorating paint, friction surfaces like windows, and any renovation that sands or disturbs it.
Is asbestos dangerous if I leave it alone?
Undisturbed, intact asbestos-containing material is generally lower risk than material that is damaged, crumbling or about to be disturbed by renovation. The danger is airborne fibres. The worst thing you can do is start a demolition or sanding project on an older building without knowing what is in it.
Do you test, or do I need a separate inspector?
For many jobs an independent certified inspector is the right call, because having testing and abatement done by the same party is a conflict some clients and lenders would rather avoid. We will tell you when independent testing is the sensible route and coordinate with whoever you choose.
