SERVPRO Uses Plastic Containment Walls For Further Protection

4/14/2021 (Permalink)

We use plastic containment to avoid the spread of mold spores.

Plastic containment walls help keep unwanted dust particles out.

Unwanted contaminants can quickly spread through a property during renovation, remodeling, restoration, repairing, or demolition. To avoid contaminants from spreading, restoration contractors need to install an appropriate containment barrier structure to keep their customers satisfied and remain compliant with government and regulatory authorities, including the EPA and OSHA.

Dust particles must be contained during a restoration project. Depending on the job, temporary walls can be constructed from materials such as drywall and plastic. When it comes to asbestos and mold removal, the professionals at SERVPRO will install plastic sheeting to contain all affected areas.

Why does SERVPRO use plastic containment walls?  

A worksite with containment walls built will often be separated from vulnerable occupied areas during restoration and renovation procedures. Workplace staff and homeowners should trust temporary wall containment systems to avoid the spread of dust and contaminants. 

Containment walls are simple to install and enable operations to proceed uninterrupted. SERVPRO prioritizes their customer's safety above anything else. Keeping that in mind, we prefer to use plastic containment walls over allowing the spread of contaminated materials. 

Plastic containment walls help keep unwanted dust particles out.

Plastic containment walls are an essential part of the process when it comes to reducing construction dust. Unfortunately, public understanding of recent developments in dust containment wall technology tends to lag behind reality, leading to lost opportunities.

When it comes to keeping dust in control, plastic is your best friend. Building a plastic-containment wall acts as a sound dust barrier, preventing dust from spreading within the property. These barriers not only keep air contaminants and dust away, but they also cut down on time and money on post-construction cleanup.

When should plastic containment walls be built?

Plastic containment walls should be built during a restoration project; dust control is critical for workers' safety and the proper operation of machinery. You will find the professionals at SERVPRO create plastic containment walls during restoration projects like mold remediation and asbestos abatement to adequately contain dust particles. 

Another type of containment wall

Containment/barrier management comes with a variety of options. A thorough understanding of the solutions is needed to choose the best choice for a project. Another type of containment wall is one that is made of drywall.

For years, drywall walls have become the go-to temporary containment solution. These walls are made of sheetrock and metal studs, and they take hours, if not days, to install, causing significant disruption to inhabited areas. 

Include an air scrubber inside your containment wall 

An air scrubber is a form of air circulator that draws a room's air through a series of filters to minimize gas and particle levels before emitting filtered air out the other side. The airflow rates are adjusted so that the containment is kept at a positive pressure, preventing contaminants from entering. An air scrubber keeps potentially dangerous contaminants out of appliances and restoration equipment.
