Containment: What is it, and why do you need it?

Containment, by definition, is the action of keeping something harmful under control or within limits.As a professional restoration contractor, containment can help in numerous ways, including;

• Prevent potentially hazardous substances – such as mould spores, lead-based paint, silica dust, and more – from spreading throughout the entire structure.
• It creates a barrier to keep dust and other particles confined within a workspace, which helps make clean-up easier for our crews.
• Creates a closed drying chamber so we don’t waste time drying unaffected areas.

Restoration Warehouse sells high-quality items to assist with the containment structures, and we understand the types of materials necessary to complete the job correctly.Some of our containment items include:

• Ezy-wall: peel and stick zipper
• 200um Plastic (required for mould)
• 80um Plastic (used for dust containment)
• Masking tape: strong enough to work but not peel paint.

If you have any questions about containment, make sure to contact us.
