Dear Jill,

It was nice working with you and your crew…below are two excerpts that I sent to my insurance adjuster regarding your firm.

If I have need for your service later, I will contact you and anyone I can refer to you will be done so with vigor.

JM was here on Friday and removed my kitchen floor and cleaned up the sheet rock drilling debris.  They placed plastic over the bare floors and its easier for me to move around now.  They will return early this week to remove the bathroon floor.  The company is outstanding and are very nice to work with…I give them a high reference!!!

JM completed their abatement job and did their usual nice work in removing my bathroom flooring.  They are now finished with all their abatement removal.

John,

Just thought you might want to hear that my oversight tech at the school last week had only the highest praise for your crew from the organization, to the set-up, to the general preparedness and dilligence.  Nice job.

The first week of April now marks National Asbestos Awareness Week, a milestone annual event in the ongoing struggle against hazardous asbestos exposure that for decades has taken the lives of many thousands of Americans.  One of the official aims of National Asbestos Awareness Week is to raise public awareness about the prevalence of asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma, and the dangers of asbestos exposure.

Although mesothelioma awareness is not yet widespread, the public for years has known of the dangers of asbestos.   Asbestos is an insulating material used because of its extreme cost-efficiency. However, exposure to it is the leading cause of mesothelioma.

A common misperception is that asbestos products have been erased from the market and that the risk of mesothelioma has been eliminated. Not true.  Granted, in the 1970s, federal regulations clamped down on the allowable uses of asbestos, but millions of buildings nationwide still contain the substance, and building materials that contain asbestos are still being manufactured today.

Building Materials that may contain Asbestos include:  floor tile, mastic adhesives, roofing tiles, siding, acoustical plaster, insulation, vinyl wallpaper, pipe coverings, rollboard, millboard, spackle, patching compounds, asphalt/cement roofing products, packing material, gaskets, joint compounds, sprayed acoustical ceilings, ceiling tiles, cement pipes and fittings, insulation board, asbestos cement sheeting, and preformed pipe wrap.

Because asbestos abatement is an intricate procedure that requires precision and familiarity with safety regulations, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that any property owner wanting to remove asbestos from a building seek assistance from an asbestos abatement company. JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., employs professionals who are trained in all types of asbestos abatement. Our professionals are trained to use safety measures like polyethylene sheeting, waste disposal bags and HEPA filtration systems. These safety measures reduce the risk of asbestos inhalation. Reducing the risk of bystander exposure to asbestos inhalation is one of the most important benefits of hiring JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.

JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., completed the demolition of a single family dwelling, associated landscape, and personal property after a firestorm in Reno.  The fire created a path of destruction that snaked along the edge of the foothills, sometimes burning one home to the ground while neighboring houses on either side went untouched.   

JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., was contracted to remove and dispose of the 4,000 SF single family dwelling, shortly after the fire.  The scope of the work included complete demolition of the residence, carport, and basement, including all below grade footings and infrastructure, the driveway, approximately 2,000 SF of hardscape, and all damaged landscape.  Additional site work included identification and capping of all utilities, (water, electric, gas, sewer, data) with flags and fluorescent markings.  Imported compactible fill, decomposed granite and clean fill dirt were used to bring the basement to site grade, and final grading of the entire site was completed to meet the requirements of the City of Reno Building Department.  Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and Practices were implemented using straw waddle, silt fence, and straw covering over the final grade to meet Washoe County requirements.  In addition, SWPPP maintenance will be included through spring 2012.  The entire site was also hand raked and magnetically swept for final detail.

JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. is Awarded Contract for Demolition and Hazardous Materials Abatement at University of California, Davis.   The scope includes demolition and hazardous materials abatement of approximately 235,000 SF of existing student housing at the Tercero Student Housing complex.

California State University, Sacramento Hazardous Material Abatement.

Fires that authorities called suspicious shut down two buildings at California State University, Sacramento on Thursday October 13, 2011. The fourth floor of Mariposa Hall was the most damaged by the fires. JM Environmental, Inc. was contracted to abate over 5,000 square feet of hazardous contaminated material from the ceiling, and strip the walls to the studs from the fourth floor of Mariposa Hall. The JM Environmental, Inc. team worked nights and weekends to get the project ready for the Restoration Contractor to start the build back. “Our goal is to always make the General Contractor who hired us look like a hero,” said owner, John Moore, after completing the project seven days ahead of schedule.

JM ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. Accelerates Re-Occupancy Time For Property Managers

JM Environmental, Inc. was contracted to perform asbestos abatement for a Sacramento apartment community recently due to a large loss fire.  The original three alarm fire ignited in the early morning hours of September 11^th, 2011. As this goes to print, the cause of the inferno has yet to be determined.  The Apartment community consisted of 143 units, which were all evacuated by fire personnel.

Thirty Six Apartment Units were damaged by fire and water.  JM Environmental, Inc., stripped all thirty six units to clean studs, the sheet rock, flooring, and exterior stucco contained asbestos.   Thirty days was allotted for hazardous material removal and JM Environmental, Inc. completed the work twelve days ahead of schedule.  Completing the work ahead of schedule, allowed the Restoration Contractor to perform the build back sooner, accelerating the re-occupancy time for the owners and property managers.
