Our Containment Methods

At LOVETT, we customize our containment methods to align with each property’s specific needs. Our services cover the entire process. From installation to monitoring, we make sure your property is a safe and controlled environment throughout.

Hazard Isolation

One of the first steps in containment is securing the affected area. We establish precise barriers to ensure contaminants are confined and pose no risk to other parts of your property.

Our process includes:

Installing physical barriers made from durable materials.
Using advanced sealing techniques to prevent air or particle leaks.
Creating separate entry and exit points for workers to minimize contamination.

Air Quality Control

Contaminants can travel through air or HVAC systems, making air quality management a critical part of containment. We implement advanced systems to ensure clean air and limit exposure.

Steps we take to control air quality:

Employing HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to capture airborne particles.
Monitoring air pressure to maintain negative pressure zones within the containment area.
Conducting regular air quality checks to confirm safe conditions.

Safety Measures

To ensure the safety of everyone on-site, our containment protocols include detailed risk assessments and compliance with regulatory standards.

Safety measures include:

Proper signage and communication around hazardous areas.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers entering the containment zone.
Thorough decontamination procedures for workers and equipment exiting the contained space.

Preventative Strategies for Long-Term Security

While effective containment addresses immediate hazards, prevention helps eliminate future threats. At LOVETT, we’re dedicated to helping businesses minimize risks.

Routine Inspections

Scheduling regular checks allows us to identify potential issues before they escalate. Whether it’s aging HVAC systems or moisture-prone areas, early intervention saves significant costs later.

Staff Awareness Training

We provide guidance to your team on how to spot early signs of hazards, such as unusual odors, discoloration on walls, or symptoms of poor air quality.

Improved Property Maintenance

From managing moisture levels to upgrading filtration systems, small maintenance steps can go a long way toward reducing contamination risks.

Immediate Containment Matters

Time is of the essence when commercial properties face hazardous conditions. Delayed action not only increases potential risks but may also result in higher costs, extended downtime, and compliance violations.

Acting Swiftly Offers Several Benefits

Prevent Hazard Spread. Containment prevents contaminants from affecting additional property areas or neighboring businesses.
Reduce Repair and Remediation Costs. By isolating the problem early, you can streamline remediation efforts and limit extensive damage.
Maintain Operational Integrity. Through proper containment, parts of your business can remain functional, reducing revenue loss.

Containment Is Not Just for Mold

Many Portland businesses first encounter us through mold-related calls. But containment has broader applications. We assist with:

Fire and smoke damage. Controlling soot and odor migration
Water damage. Isolating wet zones and preventing mold growth
Biohazard and trauma scenes. Creating safe cleanup environments
Asbestos and lead. Preventing hazardous material dispersion

Containment is about control. When your space is at risk, LOVETT provides the control you need to stay open, stay safe, and stay compliant.

Real-Time Documentation for Liability and & Compliance

As regulations tighten, documentation isn’t optional. Commercial landlords, facility managers, and contractors need clear evidence that every safety measure was followed. Our crews log every phase of containment in real-time, providing:

Setup photos and floorplan annotations
Equipment usage reports
Air quality monitoring data (as applicable)
Project logs with timestamps

These records can be shared with insurance carriers, regulatory agencies, or internal stakeholders as needed.
