The Difference Between Asbestos Abatement and Remediation
By Hawaii Abatement Services – KR Services, LLC | Oahu Environmental Asbestos Abatement & Removal Experts
At HAWAII ABATEMENT SERVICES, we’re often asked what the difference is between asbestos abatement and asbestos remediation. While the two go hand in hand, they actually describe different steps in how we handle asbestos safely.
Here’s a quick breakdown to help Hawaii homeowners and businesses understand the process — and why both are so important.
What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber that was once a very common building material, especially during the 1970s. It was valued for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to heat and corrosion — which made it popular in insulation, ceilings, flooring, and many construction materials.
But over time, we learned that asbestos exposure can be extremely dangerous. It wasn’t until 1989 that the EPA banned asbestos in new building materials. However, many older homes and commercial buildings across Oahu and the Hawaiian Islands still contain asbestos today. When asbestos-containing materials are damaged, dangerous microscopic fibers can become airborne and cause serious health issues such as lung scarring, inflammation, and cancer.
If your property was built before 1989, it may still contain asbestos. Protect your health—contact KR Services, LLC, your licensed ASBESTOS ABATEMENT and REMEDIATION experts, for professional inspection and removal.
What Is Asbestos Abatement?
Asbestos abatement is the process of safely removing or sealing asbestos materials so they no longer pose a health hazard.
At HAWAII ABATEMENT SERVICES, our certified technicians follow strict EPA and Hawaii Department of Health regulations to protect your property and everyone in it. The abatement process typically includes:
Sealing off the affected area to prevent asbestos dust from spreading
Wearing full protective gear to ensure worker and occupant safety
Carefully removing asbestos materials with specialized hand tools and approved methods
Using HEPA vacuums to eliminate all traces of asbestos dust
Conducting air quality testing to confirm the area is safe
In cases where full removal isn’t possible or necessary, we may perform encapsulation, a process where asbestos materials are sealed in place to prevent fiber release and exposure.

What Is Asbestos Remediation?
Remediation is the complete process of handling an asbestos problem from start to finish — including inspection, abatement, cleanup, and prevention. It begins with a certified asbestos inspection, followed by a detailed removal and cleanup plan.
After abatement, our team conducts final air testing and provides maintenance guidance to ensure long-term safety.
What’s the Difference Between Abatement and Remediation?
The key difference is this:
Abatement is the hands-on removal or sealing process, while
Remediation is the full project, covering everything from inspection and planning to post-cleanup verification.
In other words, abatement is one part of remediation — but both are crucial steps to creating a safe, asbestos-free environment. In most cases, you’ll need both. Remediation ensures your asbestos issue is handled thoroughly from start to finish, while abatement is where the actual removal happens.
Once the asbestos is properly removed or encapsulated, your home or building won’t pose an ongoing risk — unlike mold or other hazards that can come back over time. At HAWAII ABATEMENT SERVICES, we tailor every project to your specific property, ensuring you get the right solution for your situation.
If you suspect asbestos in your home or business, don’t take the risk of handling it yourself. Leave it to trained professionals. At HAWAII ABATEMENT SERVICES by KR Services, LLC, we proudly serve Oahu and the surrounding Hawaiian Islands, providing certified asbestos abatement, removal, and environmental remediation services.
