Making the Right Choice

How to Choose a Lead & Asbestos Company

Choosing the right restoration company is one of the most important decisions you will make after property damage occurs. The company you select will directly impact the quality of your restoration, how quickly you can return to normal, and your overall experience during a difficult time. Here are key factors to consider when making your decision:

Certifications and Training: Look for companies with IICRC certification, which is the industry standard for restoration professionals. IICRC-certified technicians have completed rigorous training and must maintain their certification through continuing education. At Advanced DRI, all our technicians hold relevant IICRC certifications and receive ongoing training on the latest restoration techniques and equipment.

Experience and Reputation: Experience matters significantly in restoration work. A company with years of experience has encountered countless scenarios and developed the expertise to handle any situation effectively. Check online reviews, ask for references, and verify the company has a solid track record. Advanced DRI has been serving the Northeast since 2005, completing over 15,000 restoration projects with consistently high customer satisfaction ratings.

Response Time and Availability: Damage does not wait for business hours, and neither should your restoration company. Ensure the company offers true 24/7 emergency service with rapid response times. Ask about their average response time and whether they have local crews in your area. Our 90-minute response target is backed by multiple office locations strategically positioned throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut.

Insurance Expertise: Restoration claims can be complex, and having a company experienced in working with insurance is invaluable. Ask if they work directly with insurance companies, handle documentation, and communicate with adjusters. A good restoration company can often maximize your claim while minimizing your stress. Our team has established relationships with all major insurers and handles the entire claims process on behalf of our customers.

Equipment and Techniques: Professional restoration requires commercial-grade equipment that far exceeds what is available to consumers. Ask about the equipment the company uses and whether they stay current with industry advances. Advanced DRI invests continuously in the latest technology, including thermal imaging cameras, commercial dehumidifiers, air scrubbers, and specialized cleaning equipment.

FAQ

Lead & Asbestos Questions

Common questions about our lead & asbestos services.

Asbestos was widely used in building materials from the 1940s through the late 1970s, so homes built before 1980 commonly contain asbestos-containing materials. Common locations include floor tiles and adhesives, insulation around pipes and ducts, textured ceilings, roofing materials, and siding. The only way to confirm the presence of asbestos is professional laboratory testing. We can collect samples safely and have them analyzed by an accredited laboratory to determine if abatement is necessary.
Lead paint is especially dangerous for children under six years old, as lead exposure can cause developmental delays, learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and other serious health effects. Adults can also be affected, experiencing high blood pressure, joint pain, and memory issues. Lead paint becomes hazardous when it deteriorates, creating dust and chips that can be ingested or inhaled. Homes built before 1978, when lead paint was banned for residential use, should be tested before renovation or if paint is deteriorating.
Our EPA-compliant asbestos abatement process begins with establishing strict containment using negative air pressure and physical barriers to prevent fiber release. Workers wear appropriate respiratory protection and disposable protective clothing. Asbestos materials are wetted to minimize fiber release during removal, carefully removed, and double-bagged in marked containers. Air monitoring throughout the project verifies containment effectiveness. After removal, the area is thoroughly cleaned and air testing confirms safe fiber levels before containment is removed.
Whether you can remain in your home during asbestos or lead abatement depends on the scope and location of the work. For small, contained projects in isolated areas, you may be able to stay in unaffected portions of the home. For larger projects or work involving HVAC systems, temporary relocation is typically recommended to ensure your safety and allow work to proceed efficiently. We discuss this during our initial assessment and help coordinate temporary housing if needed.
Lead paint can be addressed through several methods depending on the situation. Removal involves stripping paint using chemical strippers, heat, or wet scraping with HEPA vacuum attachment to capture dust. Encapsulation covers lead paint with special coatings that seal in the lead. Replacement removes and replaces entire components like windows or doors. All methods require proper containment, worker protection, and thorough cleanup to prevent spreading lead dust throughout the property.
All our lead and asbestos abatement workers are trained and certified as required by EPA, OSHA, and state regulations. Asbestos workers complete 32-hour initial training plus annual refresher courses and hold current state licenses. Lead abatement workers complete EPA-accredited training programs. Supervisors hold additional certifications. We maintain all required licenses, permits, and insurance for hazardous material abatement and can provide documentation upon request.
Asbestos and lead-containing materials are classified as hazardous waste and must be disposed of at approved facilities. Materials are double-bagged in properly labeled containers, transported by licensed hazardous waste haulers, and disposed of at permitted landfills or treatment facilities. We maintain complete chain of custody documentation and provide disposal manifests for your records. This ensures full regulatory compliance and protects you from future liability.
Abatement (removal) is typically required when materials are damaged and releasing fibers or dust, when renovation will disturb the materials, or when materials are in high-traffic areas where damage is likely. Encapsulation may be appropriate for intact materials in good condition that will not be disturbed. We evaluate each situation and recommend the most appropriate approach based on material condition, location, planned activities, and cost considerations. In some cases, a combination of methods is most effective.
