Abatement vs. mitigation vs. remediation

What is Abatement?

To 'abate' the problem, whether it is mold, lead or asbestos, means to physically remove the substance and clean the area accordingly.  Abatement, mitigation and remediation all mean the same thing!  Similar methods are used for all 3 types of abatement with some differences - obviously specific to the issue you're dealing with (ie: mold, lead, asbestos).  Lead and asbestos are highly regulated and you should hire trained licensed abatement companies to do the work, NOT just a general contractor.  For mold, you should hire someone specifically trained and certified in mold abatement that has gotten IICRC Certified.  Companies can get fined by the state for doing work and not being licensed or trained in that specific type of work.  

What is Mitigation?

 To 'mitigate' the problem, whether it is mold, lead or asbestos, means to physically remove the substance and clean the area accordingly.  Abatement, mitigation and remediation all mean the same thing!  Similar methods are used for all 3 types of abatement with some differences - obviously specific to the issue you're dealing with (ie: mold, lead, asbestos).  Lead and asbestos are highly regulated and you should hire trained licensed mitigation companies to do the work, NOT just a general contractor.  For mold, you should hire someone specifically trained and certified in mold mitigation that has gotten IICRC Certified.  Companies can get fined by the state for doing work and not being licensed or trained in that specific type of work.   

What is Remediation?

 To 'remediate' the problem, whether it is mold, lead or asbestos, means to physically remove the substance and clean the area accordingly.  Abatement, mitigation and remediation all mean the same thing!  Similar methods are used for all 3 types of abatement with some differences - obviously specific to the issue you're dealing with (ie: mold, lead, asbestos).  Lead and asbestos are highly regulated and you should hire trained licensed mitigation companies to do the work, NOT just a general contractor.  For mold, you should hire someone specifically trained and certified in mold remediation that has gotten IICRC Certified.  Companies can get fined by the state for doing work and not being licensed or trained in that specific type of work.
