The team arrives in an unmarked vehicle, checks in with the owner and secures the area. Suits go on at the edge of the work zone.
The team writes a plan and chooses protective gear matched to the hazard. People and pets stay out of the area while gear is checked.
Barriers and absorbents stop the material from spreading. The product, damaged containers and contaminated items are collected in suitable sealed containers.
Waste is hauled and the owner gets a list of what was removed. The crew explains what to keep for the file.

|---|---|
| Initial cleanup and containment | $6 - $20 per square foot |
| Small to mid-size spaces | $4,000 - $40,000 |
