Axis Response Group manages the following environmental concerns for commercial and industrial properties in Chicago:

When faced with the need for debris removal or cleanup at your business or industrial site, time is of the essence. Any delay in removing obstructive waste and restoring your place of business to its original state can prevent your employees from doing their jobs and can cost you significantly in time, money and lost productivity.

Because of its fiber strength and insulating properties, asbestos was used in many older Chicago buildings for insulation, floor and ceiling tiles, roofing shingles and other materials; however, we have since learned that asbestos can cause severe issues when inhaled. Because of this, it is important to contact an asbestos abatement contractor like Axis Response Group if you wish to do construction or remodeling that might disturb asbestos in your property.

According to the Illinois Department of Public Health, about 75% of the homes built in our state before 1978 could contain some lead-based paint. The presence of lead-based paint within a commercial building is considered a dangerous health hazard, and one that can increase over time rather than dissipate.

From oil-based paint and car wax to old printers and MP3 players, an unexpectedly large number of everyday materials around your property aren’t safe to dispose of in your ordinary household trash. Because these items are so common, many people have difficulty identifying what qualifies as household hazardous material–and face even bigger problems trying to figure out how to properly and safely dispose of such hazardous waste items.

Before the 1980s, underground storage tanks, also known as USTs, were not well regulated.  Often, companies did not even need to notify any governing agencies if they wanted to install a tank on their property.  As years passed many forgot that the storage tanks ever existed.  As new owners take over the property years later, they are often surprised to find an underground storage tank buried deep in the ground.  Many property owners do not even know if the tank is empty or may potentially be full of hazardous chemicals within.

Sand Blasting in Chicago, IL

Sand blasting is an effective way to quickly and thoroughly prepare a surface for painting. The sand blasting and painting processes generate byproducts and must also be carefully contained and removed after the project is complete. Proper cleanup and disposal of excess materials is crucial to preserving the safety of the local water supply, and to avoid spreading pollutants through the space and neighboring properties.

We work with commercial and industrial contractors in Chicago and assist in the management of environment concerns to ensure projects are not only safe, but also meet all compliance and regulatory standards.

When you plan to have soil delivered for a construction or other project, you must demonstrate that the soil is uncontaminated. Contaminated soil poses a number of health risks to workers or residents on the site, as well as the population at large. By obtaining an LPC-662 certification from the source operator where you will get the soil, or completing an LPC-663 certification on the soil you receive, you can prove that the soil you intend to use is appropriate.
