there is a possibility this could be related to the building.


Asbestos Abatement

        

With the number of asbestos related litigations on the rise and the dangers associated with long term exposure more prevalent, it is vital for owners to identify and remove any and all asbestos containing materials from the structure.  Common structural components that may contain asbestos include:

	Boilers		Water Heaters
	Pipe Insulation		Flooring Materials (i.e. tile, linoleum, mastic)
	Siding		Roofing
	Duct Wrap		Sheet Rock & Joint Compound
	Blown-in Insulation		Wire Wrap
	Transite Panels

Whether the asbestos removal is associated with a renovation, flood, fire, restoration, or demolition, QAS has the answer for the problem.  All materials are removed using appropriate containment and air filtration in accordance with all regulations and proper removal is verified by a third party hygiene firm before the area is released for re-occupancy.  No matter how large or small the project is in scope, QAS provides safe and cost effective solutions to any asbestos problem.

Lead Abatement

        

At QAS, we work with a number of specific industries as well as residential clients to successfully remove lead and lead containing products from any building structure.  A serious hazard that has gained considerable attention in recent years, lead (whether ingested or inhaled) can be stored in the blood, organs, or bones and can affect the brain and nervous system, the digestive system, the reproductive system, the kidneys, and the ability to make blood. QAS has the expertise to remediate lead in any form. 

Mold Remediation

        

Mold is becoming commonplace words throughout the working world.   What was once considered a minor mold problem could actually be a more pervasive issue, resulting in odors, stains, health problems, and litigation.  These problems, generally caused by common molds such as stachybotrys, aspergillus, and penicillum can proliferate due to poor ventilation, improperly running mechanical systems, flooding, plumbing leaks, or roof failure.  No matter what the culprit, QAS can provide you with a variety of services for a long-term treatment solution.

Air Duct Cleaning

       

 QAS staff are certified in the proper techniques or fully cleaning entire HVAC system.In addition to normal accumulations of dust and dirt found in all homes through regular use, there are several other factors that can increase the need for air duct cleaning. Some occupants are more sensitive to these contaminants than others. Allergy and asthma sufferers, as well as young children and the elderly tend to be more susceptible to the types of poor indoor air quality that air duct cleaning can help to address. Air duct cleaning is a misnomer. In actuality, the entire HVAC system should be cleaned. Failure to clean all components ofhe system can result in re-contamination of the entire system,thus minimizing the benefits of cleaning.
