Dan and Tina Benton

At ABC Environmental Contracting Services, we recently completed a project for a homeowner in Kansas City, MO, who discovered asbestos-contaminated materials in their home. The drywall and ceilings in their office, bedroom, and living room all tested positive for asbestos. As soon as they found out, they contacted our team for safe, professional removal.


Dealing with an asbestos-contaminated home is serious. Disturbing those materials without proper containment and equipment can put your health at risk. That's why our team follows strict safety procedures to remove asbestos-contaminated drywall, ceilings, and other materials the right way, keeping your home and family safe throughout the process.

Our Asbestos Removal Process for Contaminated Materials


Here's how we handled this asbestos-contaminated home in Kansas City:

1. Inspection and Testing


We started by taking samples from the drywall and ceilings in each affected room. Lab results confirmed the materials were asbestos-contaminated, so we moved quickly to set up for safe removal.



2. Containment Setup


To protect the rest of the home, we created sealed containment zones using plastic sheeting and negative air pressure. This step is critical for keeping asbestos-contaminated dust and debris from spreading.


3. Protective Gear and Safety


Our crew wore full PPE and followed strict safety protocols throughout the project to prevent any exposure.


4. Removing Contaminated Materials


We took careful steps to safely remove all asbestos-contaminated materials from the home:


  • Manual Removal: We removed all asbestos-containing drywall and ceiling panels by hand to reduce the chance of fiber release.
  • Proper Disposal: All contaminated materials were sealed in approved, double-layered bags to meet safety and disposal regulations.
  • Dust Control: Every step was done with dust prevention in mind to protect both the crew and the rest of the home.
  • Tight Process Management: We maintained full control over the removal process from start to finish to avoid cross-contamination.


5. HEPA Vacuum and Cleaning


We used HEPA vacuums to clean every surface inside the containment zones. This made sure no microscopic asbestos particles were left behind.


Why This Kansas City Asbestos-Contaminated Home Stood Out


This project showed how important fast action and professional help are when dealing with asbestos-contaminated materials. The homeowner didn't waste time guessing. They called our team, and we delivered a full cleanup.


They were especially thankful for how we kept them informed and protected their home every step of the way. We were proud to help them move forward safely and with peace of mind.
