Why containment comes first
Cutting out wet or mouldy drywall, insulation and flooring releases dust and spores. Without containment they travel up the stairs and through the ductwork. IICRC S520 calls for containment sized to the contamination and the work, and this basement needed the full treatment.
What we set up
Reinforced poly walls with taped seams, critical barriers on doorways, bulkheads and ceiling fixtures, protected floors, and HEPA air scrubbers running before removal started. The rest of the house stays usable while we work.
Older basements need a test first
Some GTA basements still have older floor tiles, plaster or pipe wrap that can contain asbestos. When materials are suspect, we test before disturbing them and quote any abatement separately, as Ontario regulations require.
What we did
- Room-by-room poly containment
- Critical barriers on openings and fixtures
- Floor protection
- HEPA air scrubbers staged before removal
- Suspect materials flagged for testing
- Photo documentation before, during and after
Questions about this kind of job
Can we stay home while you work in the basement?
In most cases, yes. Containment and HEPA air scrubbing keep the work zone isolated from the rest of the house. We tell you honestly if a room or the home should be vacated.
Is containment covered by insurance?
When the underlying loss is covered, containment is normally part of the mitigation scope. We document it with photos and line items your adjuster can review.
