Our Company Solutions
Why the Toxic Material Inspection/Survey is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make.
In our experience, trouble almost always starts when facility owner/operators neglect to have a thorough inspection completed prior to facility renovation/demolition or excavation.
Things can get ugly quickly. At worst, toxic materials are disturbed, resulting in exposure to workers, employees and the public. Complaints are filed. EPA/OSHA enforcement regulators swarm into investigate. The media shows interest in the story. You’re on the phone to your attorney. The project grinds to a quick halt as an investigation takes place to determine violations, negligence, human exposure, legal liability, and cleanup costs.
Environmental regulations are strictly enforced and can potentially include criminal penalties.One thing is for sure; your organization can a pay huge price neglecting the toxic material inspection/survey.
Fortunately, there is a way to avoid the pain. You can stay in compliance with US, state and local environmental regulations by proactively having Keers provide this important inspection/survey service. We’ll even make sure the report results are interpreted and interfaced with your facility plans.
Asbestos: Why you still need to worry. Even thought it doesn’t make the news like it did in the 1980s and 90s, asbestos continues to be major threat for many facility owners/operators, employees and the public. Because asbestos was used in over 3,000 building products, the threat continues, and here is why:
Health Effects – asbestos is a known carcinogen (cancer causing) when exposure occurs, it has been linked to various diseases (asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung disease.) Approximately 10,000 people die per year in the United States from Illnesses related to Asbestos exposure.
Asbestos Regulations – asbestos is a highly regulated toxic substance (USEPA, OSHA, State/Local Health Agencies) that must be identified and abated by law prior to facility renovation, demolition or disturbance. Failure to comply with government environmental regulations may end up in heavy fines, sanctions, and lawsuits.
Asbestos Litigation – over 90,000 asbestos exposure and property damage lawsuits are filed per year. Asbestos litigation is costly, time-consuming and reputation damaging.
Mold Remediation: Lorem Mold has long been known to carry serious health risks. When mold infects a facility, it finds sources of moisture and proliferates, contributing to what is known as “sick building syndrome”. Heating, ventilation, and air-condition (HVAC) systems become contaminated, spreading fungal spores throughout the building.
It is important to select a company that will remediate all mold carefully and thoroughly.
1. Containing the affected area
2. Removing all contamination
3. Cleaning the site
Keers has extensive experience in indoor air quality and mold remediation. We can help you identify the sources of mold contamination and even help you pinpoint future problem areas.
Lead: Another threat you should be concerned about.
Lead is highly toxic metal that was used for years in paint, pipe solder, caulking, ceramics and other building products.
Lead contaminated soil and dust generated from construction activities can be a major health risk that effects the human nervous system. Lead can also cause a wide range of health effects, from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, to seizures and death.
Like asbestos, lead identification and removal is highly regulated by USEPA, USHUD, OSHA as well as state/local health agencies. Penalties for non-compliance can be severe.
30 years of innovation
As one of the oldest asbestos and lead abatement contractors in the nation, Keers has led the way with innovative assessment/survey information that you need to protect people’s health during facility renovation/demolition projects. Keers seamless follow-on safe asbestos/lead abatement best practices assures a successful project outcome. In addition, Keers has developed labor reducing technologies that save money on your project.
Indoor air quality is becoming of increasingly high concern. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that indoor air quality is four to five times more polluted than outdoor air. In fact, indoor pollution has recently been ranked among the top five environmental risks to public health.
The National Energy Management Institute (NEMI) even says that the “Benefits of improved indoor air quality are so large that this opportunity cannot be ignored…these include improved productivity, decreased absenteeism/claims, greater employee/customer/visitor health, and reduced health costs.
A modern health and productivity necessity.
Today’s energy efficient facilities are “airtight” which keeps contaminants in and fresh air out. Dust, mold, pollen, insect remains, chemicals, and odors are trapped inside creating the perfect habitat for mold, fungi, bacteria, and other microbes to propagate.
Keers’ demolition teams have successfully demolished hundreds of buildings. Our experienced staff understands that safe and successful controlled demolition requires careful planning and action. As a result, our safety record is excellent.
We get the necessary permits, create a work plan and establish a project schedule so every detail is handled. Demolition is then quick, and safe.
We also recycle as many materials as possible to help out the environment and save you money.
Dust-Free Controlled Demolition
When facility occupants are subject to dust from construction zones, people complain about not feeling well, Productivity suffers. Computers and electronic equipment are easily damaged and HVAC units are contaminated spreading dust throughtout the facility.
During the past 20 years, Keers crews have prepared hundreds of contaminated sites for successful redevelopment. With our remediation services, we excavate and dispose of contaminated soils/sludge, fuel spills, underground storage tanks, septic tanks, lagoons/ponds, and radiological waste
Clean-up of your site is safely and easily completed with our many treatment options including HEPA vacuum extraction, bio-remediation, controlled excavation, soil-washing, and on-site waste stabilization.

We provide a wide range of facility decontamination services to help you operate environmentally clean and safe facilities. Our experienced decontamination teams can assist you with our proven methods that meet regulatory industry standards.
Biohazards:
Unfortunately, we live in and environment where there are several known biological threatsthat can affect the health of facility occupants. We decontaminate: Hantavirus, Pathogenic Bacteria, Particulate Matter/Allergens, Swine Flu, Chalamydiosis (pigeon fecal dust) & Cryptococcosis Fungis & Rodent Fecal Matter.
HVAC Contamination:
Poorly maintained heating, ventilating, and air conditioning are prime place for bacteria, fungi, mold, and dust mites to grow and propagate. Such pollutants can cause serious health problems. Careful evaluation of your HVAC system is necessary to identify illness-causing contamination. We can correct and problems using powerful HEPA filtered vacuum systems and scrubbing devices that leave your system clean and safe.
