The four-step decontamination process

Step 1: Pre-forensic testing

Jim’s Hazardous Material Removal Towaninny will assess the property by conducting a swab test for the presence. This test can single out contaminated areas and pinpoint any furnishings or materials that are too contaminated to be cleaned. This process will allow you to identify the condition of the property before any remediation begins.

Step 2: Onsite survey and inspection

Following testing, our team will identify the affected areas of the property and put together a remediation action plan.

Our technicians will document the areas that have sustained contamination and will investigate whether any disposal occurred in or around the property – burning, dumping, burying etc. Jim’s Hazardous Material Removal Towaninny will also test whether any systems such as plumbing or electrical have been damaged and require replacing.
