What hazardous materials do you remove and dispose of?
Femme Works Solutions handles asbestos-containing materials, vermiculite insulation, asbestos pipe insulation, vinyl tile, linoleum, black mastic, contaminated debris, and mold-affected building areas. Services are available for residential, commercial, industrial, educational, municipal, and government properties. Each project is assessed for risk, containment needs, disposal requirements, and any testing or clearance documentation needed before work proceeds.
Are your hazardous materials removal services licensed and insured?
Yes. Femme Works Solutions is licensed and insured in Massachusetts and performs projects in accordance with EPA, OSHA, and DEP protocols. The company is also Better Business Bureau Accredited, SAM.gov registered, and certified as a Minority Business Enterprise and women-owned business. These credentials support safe work practices, compliant handling, and reliable service for homeowners, contractors, and public-sector clients.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos or vermiculite?
Many properties built before the 1980s may contain asbestos in insulation, pipe wrap, flooring, mastic, siding, textured ceilings, joint compound, roofing materials, or vermiculite insulation. The safest way to confirm is through professional inspection and lab testing. Our team can collect targeted samples, submit them to accredited laboratories, and provide a clear report with material type, concentration, quantity, and handling recommendations.
What happens during a hazardous materials removal project?
A typical project starts with inspection, scope development, containment planning, and safety setup. Certified crews then isolate the work area, use HEPA filtration and approved removal methods, package materials properly, and transport debris for compliant disposal. After removal, the space is cleaned, decontaminated, and prepared for reentry, renovation, demolition, or optional third-party clearance testing when required.
How long does hazardous materials removal usually take?
Project timelines depend on material type, quantity, location, and containment complexity. Many selective interior demolition or smaller abatement projects take one to three days, while larger commercial, school, municipal, or industrial projects may require additional planning and phased scheduling. Femme Works Solutions offers fast turnaround, clear scheduling, and off-hours or weekend options to reduce disruption.
Do you provide documentation after disposal and cleanup?
Yes. Documentation may include inspection reports, lab results, material quantities, removal recommendations, disposal support, and clearance reports when third-party air testing is performed. Proper documentation can be important for property sales, occupancy, demolition permits, renovation records, Mass Save compliance, contractor coordination, and demonstrating that hazardous materials were handled responsibly.
Can you help with Mass Save rebate requirements?
Yes. Certain insulation and energy-efficiency upgrades may require proof that asbestos or vermiculite hazards have been addressed before work can move forward. Femme Works Solutions supports clients through the removal process, coordinates with approved insulation contractors when appropriate, helps align project timelines, and provides documentation that may assist with Mass Save rebate eligibility.
Do you offer emergency or off-hours scheduling?
Femme Works Solutions is available 24 hours and offers flexible scheduling for qualifying projects. Off-hours and weekend scheduling are especially helpful for commercial buildings, offices, retail spaces, schools, and occupied properties where downtime must be minimized. The team works to complete projects efficiently while maintaining containment, safety, cleaning, and disposal standards.
