Licensed Abatement vs. DIY or Unlicensed Work
Why regulated hazardous-material work should always be done by a licensed contractor.
| Factor | Total Environmental Containment | DIY / Unlicensed |
|---|---|---|
| Legal compliance (CT DPH) | Fully licensed & compliant | Often illegal for regulated materials |
| Containment | Engineered negative-pressure enclosure | Little or none — fibers spread |
| Worker & family safety | HEPA filtration, PPE, decon chamber | High exposure risk |
| Disposal | Licensed facility, documented | Improper disposal & fines |
| Insurance support | Code-referenced documentation | Claims often denied |
| Clearance testing | Third-party air monitoring | None |
