Construction Cleanup NYC

Have you ever seen a building being demolished? It is pretty sweet. What is not so sweet is the construction cleanup in NYC. Construction and demolition of any type of building in NYC leaves a tremendous mess and the cleanup is quite a task. There may also be harmful materials that can become airborne with either process. Finding a company that can handle these materials safely and timely is important when undertaking any NYC construction cleanup job. These are some of the hazardous materials you may encounter:

• Asbestos – Although the use of this material is now banned in construction, any building built before the 1980's runs the potential risk of containing this highly carcinogenic insulation.
• Carpet and Flooring – Some synthetic rugs and carpeting may have been treated with insecticides and fungicides when they were first installed. Removing the carpeting may make these compounds become airborne.
• Insulation – Certain materials used for insulation over the years can contain harmful particles. These are common among the following insulating materials urea-formaldehyde, polyurethane, fiberglass on kraft paper with asphalts adhesive, cellulose, vermiculite and perlite.
• Paint – Lead paint was banned in 1977 in the US, but some buildings in NYC may contain lead based paint. This is a major health risk for residents and needs to be handled by professionals.
