Ceiling tile has been wet <24 hours and no previous water damage
Removes and discards under controlled abatement
conditions*
Contaminated water (i.e., Sewage) Steam
Unsanitary water (i.e., rain or ground waterClean water (i.e., potable)

* Controlled abatement activities include use of controlled airflow
and personal protective equipment during tile removal,
then use of a plastic bag or other container to hold the damaged
tile after removal and during transport.
**Minimal abatement activities include use of dust and airflow control then containment of the
damaged tile during removal and transport.
