Containment is key. Plastic sheeting, negative air pressure, and sealing off work areas. The inland location helps because there's less ambient moisture.

Standard procedure is full containment with plastic sheeting and air scrubbers. Being inland, Poway doesn't have the moisture issues that complicate coastal jobs.

They usually shut down the HVAC system and seal vents during work. In Poway's dry climate, this prevents contamination from spreading through ducts.
