What is meant by remediation?
Remediation is a generic term for work that involves removing, cleaning or otherwise rendering harmless or dangerous materials and substances. A decontamination company is an expert in this area and has the expertise to handle a number of different decontamination assignments.
Common types of remediation work include the removal of asbestos, PCBs, lead, chemicals and contaminated building materials, pest control and cleaning up after fire and water damage.
Remediation work can range from simple spot remediation to complete renovation of entire buildings. The aim of remediation is to eliminate health hazards, prevent the spread of contamination and make the premises safe and healthy for use.
Thorough preliminary surveys form the basis for choosing a suitable remediation method, and the work is carried out by certified professionals with a permit from the Swedish Work Environment Authority. Correct mapping, planning, choice of method and implementation are important in order to effectively get rid of the problem.
Removal of asbestos
Asbestos is a harmful material that was often used in buildings before 1985. If you are rehabilitating or demolishing older buildings, it is therefore mandatory to carry out an asbestos survey first. If asbestos is discovered, it must be removed by an approved asbestos removal company.
The Norwegian Labor Inspection Authority sets strict requirements for the work to avoid the spread of asbestos fibers. All employees must have special training and wear protective equipment such as masks, suits and gloves. The area where the renovation is taking place must be covered and isolated with special locks and vacuumed with a special filter.
Asbestos materials are packed in sealed plastic bags before being transported away as hazardous waste.
Dust measurements and visual inspection by an independent company are required to document that everything has been properly removed, and only certified companies are allowed to carry out the removal.
Pest removal
Have you had an unwanted visit from pests such as mice, rats, bed bugs or cockroaches? Then you should contact a pest control company as soon as possible. Pests multiply quickly, can pose a health hazard and cause significant material damage if they are not controlled effectively.
Professional pest controllers first inspect the premises thoroughly to reveal the extent of the infestation. They then seal all entry points and take targeted action to eradicate the pests completely from the building. To avoid the problem returning later, you should leave the job to experienced professionals.
Fire restoration
After a fire, extensive cleanup and decontamination of the building is required. Soot, smoke odors and fire-damaged materials need to be removed and cleaned in a safe and effective way to prevent spread and permanent damage.
Professional fire restorers take care of the entire process, from emptying contents and demolishing damaged building parts to thoroughly cleaning, deodorizing and drying out water damage.
They use specialized equipment to remove soot, odors and fire debris from all surfaces, as well as dehumidifiers and fans for drying. In addition, they assess the extent of fire and water damage to the building structure and help you plan for reconstruction.
Remediation of water and moisture damage
Water damage can quickly lead to extensive damage if you do not intervene immediately. If you notice any signs of leakage or moisture damage, you should immediately contact a company that specializes in restoring such damage. They will help you stop the water source, remove damaged material and dry out the building structure effectively.
Using advanced measuring equipment, the extent of the moisture damage is accurately mapped so that all affected material is removed. Powerful dehumidifiers and fan heaters ensure controlled drying and prevent mold growth. Our partners can also help you plan the necessary repairs and reconstruction of damaged areas following the remediation.
How much does remediation cost?
Every assignment is different, the scope of the work to be carried out varies, and different types of remediation may be involved. It is therefore difficult to give specific prices, as the scope of the job will vary from assignment to assignment.
To get an accurate price estimate, a thorough inspection and mapping of the relevant areas must first be carried out. However, we will provide some general price examples to give you an idea of what remediation can cost.
- The average price of remediation is around NOK 6,000 per square meter.
- The price can vary from NOK 4,000 to NOK 25,000 per square meter.
- A typical asbestos removal job usually costs from around NOK 50,000 to NOK 300,000.
- Fire restoration usually costs from NOK 50,000 upwards, depending on the extent of the fire and the damage to the building.
- Remediation in connection with water and moisture damage costs an average of NOK 60,000, but prices can vary from NOK 5,000 to NOK 500,000 depending on the extent of the damage.
What affects the price of restoration?
In short, the price will vary depending on the type of assignment, scope, complexity and degree of urgency.
These are the most common price drivers:
- Type of remediation (asbestos, pests, fungi, chemicals, fire, water).
- The scope of the remediation – the size of the area and amount to be remediated.
- Remediation method – some methods are more time-consuming and costly than others.
