Asbestos & Lead Abatement Services in the San Francisco Bay Area

Older buildings throughout the San Francisco Bay Area often contain hidden asbestos, lead-based paint, and other hazardous materials that can pose serious health risks. From historic homes in San Francisco and Berkeley to aging commercial buildings across Oakland and San Jose, it is common for renovations, leaks, or structural repairs to reveal materials that require professional remediation.

Environmental Remedies provides licensed asbestos and lead abatement services in the San Francisco Bay Area, offering complete inspections, containment, removal, and post-clearance testing. Our certified teams work with homeowners, contractors, property managers, and public facilities to restore safe and healthy environments throughout the region. With strict safety protocols and decades of experience, we handle hazardous materials with precision, care, and full regulatory compliance.

Environmental Remediation Services

San Francisco’s diverse building landscape presents unique challenges when it comes to environmental remediation. Many neighborhoods feature pre-1978 housing, original plaster walls, old heating systems, and materials that have weathered decades of coastal moisture, seismic upgrades, and remodels. Commercial spaces and multi-unit buildings across the Bay Area often contain outdated insulation, flooring, mastics, and wall systems that were constructed long before modern safety standards existed.

Environmental Remedies specializes in identifying, containing, and removing hazardous materials in these complex structures. Our licensed specialists apply state-certified procedures and modern abatement techniques to ensure your property meets current California health and safety regulations. Every project is approached with a clear focus on occupant protection, environmental responsibility, and dependable results.

San Francisco Bay Area Removal & Abatement Services

Environmental Remedies provides certified asbestos and lead abatement throughout the Bay Area using controlled removal practices and professional oversight from start to finish.

Asbestos Removal and Abatement

Asbestos remains one of the most common hazards found in older Bay Area buildings. It can appear in popcorn ceilings, vinyl flooring, pipe insulation, exterior siding, roofing materials, and other components common in homes built before the 1980s. Disturbing these materials during tenant improvements, plumbing repairs, or remodels can release dangerous airborne fibers. Our licensed asbestos contractors follow all California and federal regulations for safe handling, removal, and disposal. Through detailed inspections, secure containment setups, HEPA-filtered ventilation, and controlled removal methods, we eliminate asbestos hazards while keeping your property protected.

Environmental Remedies provides certified lead abatement services that include safe removal, surface preparation, encapsulation, and post-remediation testing. Our team ensures your property meets state guidelines for safety and clearance so that your home or building is once again suitable for occupancy.

Our Abatement Process

Environmental Remedies follows a structured, proven process to ensure safe and compliant removal of asbestos and lead-based materials throughout the Bay Area.

Assessment and Testing

Certified inspections determine whether hazardous materials are present and how extensive the contamination may be. This step allows us to create a precise action plan tailored to your property.

Containment

Before work begins, we establish controlled containment zones designed to prevent dust or debris from spreading. Negative air systems, sealed barriers, and HEPA filtration protect occupants and preserve clean areas.

Decontamination

Our trained crews use regulated wet methods, specialized tools, and HEPA vacuums to remove hazardous materials safely. All waste is handled according to California disposal rules, with care taken to minimize disruption to the rest of the building.

Post Clearance Testing

An independent third-party inspector verifies that all hazardous material has been removed and that the air is safe for reentry. This step provides documentation and peace of mind for homeowners, contractors, and property managers.
