Asbestos Abatement Services

Does your home contain asbestos?

  • What it is?

    Asbestos can be a very dangerous substance when disturbed. It was used very widely across Canada as a fire-resistant material found in building supplies. By the 1980s asbestos became banned from use due it its carcinogenic effects – it was proven to contribute to cancer in the lungs and throat if inhaled for a long period of time.

  • Where is asbestos found?

    Building exteriors - cement siding panels, soffits, roof panels, mastics, stucco

    Flooring - vinyl asbestos tiles, sheet vinyl flooring, and floor leveling compound

    Ceilings - ceiling tiles, acoustic and stipple finishes, and plaster or drywall

    Walls - plaster or drywall joint compound, stippled finishes, and cement panels

    Insulation - vermiculite, boilers, vessels, pipes, ducts, floors, ceilings and walls

  • How To Check?

    Testing for asbestos requires a small piece of the material be sent to a laboratory for viewing under a microscope. The piece does not need to be very big, usually about the size of a dime, and most of the time the sampling location can be hidden behind a light cover or in the back of a closet. The hard part is knowing what and where to sample, as well as how to properly protect yourself while disturbing the material. We recommend you hire a professional testing facility for this.
