Homes used to be mass produced with "popcorn" ceilings. This became extremely popular with contractors because of the lower costs and easy application. As time went on, people realized that they don't like this "popcorn" texture and it was potentially dangerous. Lucky for them, United Air Care provides asbestos ceiling removal in Los Angeles. Homeowners with this type of ceiling need to realize that much of the early spray did contain significant amounts of asbestos, but there is no way to know for sure without laboratory testing.

Steps We Take

  • Wetting: This step is arguably the most important when it comes to asbestos ceiling removal. By simply wetting the asbestos material, you are controlling the fibers and preventing unwanted distribution. Wetting needs to take place before, during and even after the asbestos ceiling removal. Once the debris has been removed, our technicians will isolate the asbestos and continue the wetting process until all hazardous material is sealed and packaged for disposal. If you are seeking asbestos ceiling removal in Los Angeles, make sure the company you choose emphasis the wetting process.

  • Containment: United Air Care makes sure to contain your asbestos debris. This is also a very important step in asbestos ceiling removal because of the potential for hazardous material to spread to other areas of the house. By constructing a plastic containment around the ceiling areas, our technicians can guarantee a safe and controlled work space. The containment will cover walls and floors within the project room or rooms to ensure all debris is captured and remains on plastic sheeting during the asbestos ceiling removal process.

  • Protection: Asbestos ceiling removal in Los Angeles is a highly sought after local service and United Air Care is commited both to the safety of the homeowner and also our own technicians. For this reason, our techs will be required to wear necessary equipment to keep them completely safe and protected. The list includes respirators, coveralls, rubber boots, eye protection, rubber gloves and state-of-the-art tools & supplies.

  • Precautions: Any technicians involved in asbestos ceiling removal in Los Angeles will take certain precautions to prevent harm to both the worker and the home itself. We will make sure to power down any air conditioning or heating systems and tape all light switches in the off position. The techs will also make sure to empty the room of furniture and other obstructions. Next, all ceiling fixtures will be removed, exposed wires will be taped and power will be cut. Lastly, the technicians will remove any smoke alarms or other devices attached to the ceiling with the “popcorn” material.

  • Clean Up: United Air Care is different than any other company that does asbestos ceiling removal in Los Angeles. We believe in leaving a location cleaner and safer than when we found it! For this very reason, United Air Care will take great care in containing the area and removing debris in a timely manor. After removal, our technicians will thoroughly wipe down all tools and ladders with clean wet rags. Next, the tools will be placed in a bucket or plastic bag for more cleaning later. We also dispose of rags as asbestos debris.

  • Decontamination & Waste: From this point on, the house should be removed of all asbestos ceiling contaminants and is considered safely habitable. It is now the responsibility of our technicians to decontaminate themselves and dispose of the waste accordingly.
