Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home has asbestos?
Asbestos was commonly used in Canadian homes built before 1990. Common locations include vermiculite attic insulation, popcorn ceilings, floor tiles, pipe insulation, and drywall joint compound. The only way to confirm is through professional testing—visual inspection alone cannot identify asbestos. We offer testing services and can help identify potential asbestos-containing materials.
Is asbestos abatement required by law in Ontario?
Yes. Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires that asbestos be properly removed before renovation or demolition work that would disturb it. Hiring a certified abatement contractor ensures compliance and protects workers and occupants from exposure. Fines for non-compliance can be significant.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Project duration varies based on the scope. A single room like a popcorn ceiling removal might take 1-2 days. Whole-home vermiculite attic removal typically takes 2-4 days. Larger commercial projects may take 1-2 weeks. We provide accurate timelines during our assessment.
What documentation will I receive after the work is complete?
You will receive complete documentation including: air quality clearance test results, waste disposal manifests showing proper disposal at licensed facilities, a certificate of completion, and before/after photographs. This documentation is important for property records, resale, and regulatory compliance.
Do you offer emergency asbestos services?
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency response for situations like accidental asbestos disturbance during renovations, fire or water damage exposing asbestos materials, or urgent property transactions requiring immediate abatement. Call our emergency line for same-day response.
