If you have, or suspect you have, a lead, mold, or asbestos problem, we offer free, comprehensive estimates in Montebello. Lead, mold, and asbestos are all environmental hazards that can cause health problems in humans and animals. These hazards need to be assessed and removed by a certified specialist to ensure safe and complete containment, transportation and disposal.

• Asbestos: This material was used as heat- and sound-insulation in many common building materials before it was banned in 1978. Even after it was banned, builders continued to use up the remaining stocks. This means that if your home, office, or other facility was built before 1987, it may contain asbestos in materials such as acoustic ceiling tiles or drywall plaster.
• Mold: While not always dangerous, mold can proliferate quickly in a moist environment and become a real hazard. It can also remain dormant inside walls for years before renewed contact with water makes it visible. If your building has had water damage, even in the past, it's a good idea to have it checked out.
• Lead: Lead was used as a common ingredient in house paint before it was banned in 1977. It can still be found in many interior and exterior walls, as well as some ceramic tile. Lead-based paint is dangerous because, as it deteriorates, it produces lead dust that is then ingested through accidental hand-to-mouth contact. Small children also sometimes eat the paint chips.

We've safely removed these hazards from thousands of residential, commercial, and government sites, making them clean and safe for families, customers, employees, and the public. On every project, we erect critical barriers around the work site to prevent toxic particles from spreading, and we dispose of all hazardous materials in full compliance with EPA requirements.

Mold is a natural occurrence, but it can proliferate quickly when exposed to moisture, and it becomes dangerous in large quantities. In the worst cases, mold can pose very severe–and even deadly–health risks, especially for people with respiratory problems or allergies (learn more on our FAQ page). It can lie dormant inside walls for years following water damage, until renewed contact with moisture makes it a visible problem. Mold can also spread through ventilation systems in buildings, causing "Sick Building Syndrome." For all of these reasons, it's important to have any suspected or visible mold problem evaluated by a certified professional. Enkay Engineering offers free mold removal estimates in Montebello. Our experienced technicians can accurately assess whether or not you have a mold hazard and, if necessary, safely remove it and decontaminate your site.

Asbestos was a common building material before it was banned in 1978, and the leftover stocks continued to be used up until they ran out in 1987. As a result, asbestos can still be found in many residential, commercial, and government buildings, in materials such as drywall plaster and floor tiles. When not exposed, the asbestos in these materials is not dangerous; but when it is exposed, the asbestos fibers can become airborne, posing a threat to anyone who inhales them (learn more on our FAQ page). Asbestos removal should always be performed by trained, certified, and experienced specialists like the technicians at Enkay Engineering. We provide expert asbestos containment and removal services for any material containing asbestos, including the following:

• asbestos drywall

Lead was a common ingredient in most house paint until it was banned in 1977. Today, approximately 40% of homes in the US still contain lead-based paint. Lead-based paint causes health problems when it is ingested, which can happen more easily than you might think; as the paint deteriorates over time, it produces lead dust that can then be transferred through hand-to-mouth contact. Lead dust is also produced by repainting and remodeling. Small children can even ingest lead-based paint by eating the paint chips. For all these reasons, and because lead poses such serious health risks (learn more on our FAQ page), it is important to have any potential lead hazard inspected, contained, and removed by a fully certified, experienced specialist.

We provide free estimates for lead removal in Montebello; we conduct accurate, professional assessments, and if you do have a lead hazard, we offer safe, thorough removal services at competitive prices.
