Asbestos Abatement
Full-Service, Certified Asbestos Abatement | Ensuring Health & Regulatory Compliance
The Legal & Health Imperative (Why Professional Help is Required)
-
Health Hazards: Disturbed asbestos fibers become airborne and, when inhaled, pose severe long-term risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. Never attempt to remove it yourself.
-
Legal Compliance: Designated Substance Survey (DSS)
-
Common Locations: Asbestos can be found in flooring, roofing, stucco, drywall compound, pipe wrap, insulation (vermiculite), and duct wrap.
-
Residential & Commercial: We handle the regulatory and safety requirements for both residential properties and large-scale commercial/industrial facilities.
Our Certified 5-Step Asbestos Abatement Process
1. Inspection & Material Testing
-
Initial site inspection to determine the scope and Type of contamination (e.g., Type 1, 2, or 3).
-
Collection and analysis of suspected materials by a certified third-party lab to confirm the presence of Asbestos.
2. Safety Documentation & Compliance
Development of a detailed Scope of Work (SOW) and the necessary Notice of Project (NOP) documentation required by provincial health regulations (e.g., OHSA).
3. Containment & Negative Air Pressure
-
Establishment of a sealed work area (containment) using poly sheeting, duct tape, and specialized Negative Air Pressure (NAP) machines to prevent fiber release into clean areas.
-
Wetting of ACMs prior to removal to minimize airborne dust.
4. Controlled Removal & Secure Disposal
-
Careful and deliberate removal of friable and non-friable asbestos materials.
-
All ACMs are packaged, sealed, and transported according to strict protocols to an approved, licensed disposal facility.
5. Clearance Testing & Restoration
-
Decontamination of equipment and personnel via a three-stage shower process.
-
Final air quality testing conducted by an independent, third-party consultant to issue a Certificate of Clearance, legally guaranteeing the air is safe for re-occupancy
