About The Service
When is asbestos Abatement required?
Asbestos abatement is required when asbestos-containing materials are damaged, disturbed, or planned to be disturbed during renovation or demolition work.
In many cases, asbestos does not present an immediate issue until materials are cut, removed, or deteriorate. Planning abatement early helps avoid work stoppages, safety risks, and project delays.
- Common situations include:
- Asbestos identified during inspections or testing
- Renovation or demolition of older buildings
- Damaged or deteriorating asbestos-containing materials
- Planned construction work that may disturb asbestos
- Properties that need abatement before occupancy or sale
- Asbestos tape discovered during furnace, HVAC repair, or maintenance work
Why Choose Us
What asbestos abatement includes
Asbestos abatement is not just about removal. It is about making sure work can continue safely without creating new risks or unexpected delays.
Our role is to help property owners understand what needs to be addressed, plan the work properly, and complete abatement in a controlled way so the space can be used again with confidence.
We start by reviewing testing results and understanding how asbestos is present in the building. This helps determine what needs to be addressed now, what can remain undisturbed, and how the work should be approached.
When abatement is required, asbestos-containing materials are handled using appropriate containment and removal methods designed to limit fibre release and protect surrounding areas.
Once abatement is complete, we help outline what is required before renovations, repairs, or occupancy continue. This keeps projects moving forward without unnecessary backtracking or guesswork.
Our Process
How asbestos abatement is handled
Asbestos abatement is rarely a standalone task. It usually sits in the middle of a larger project, which means the order of operations matters as much as the work itself.
Our focus is on handling abatement in a way that protects people, limits disruption, and allows the next phase of work to continue without complications.
The process begins with an initial inspection and consultation led by a certified Project Manager. The Project Manager assesses the site to identify suspected asbestos-containing materials and determine how they affect surrounding areas.
Samples are taken for laboratory testing to confirm the presence and type of asbestos. Once testing results are received, a formal abatement estimate is prepared based on the findings and the scope of work required.
The work environment is managed through established containment to isolate affected areas and protect adjacent spaces. Asbestos-containing materials are removed using approved procedures at a government approved facility while containment remains in place.
Daily air monitoring is conducted throughout the abatement to confirm controls are working as intended. Once removal is complete, a final clean is performed, followed by clearance testing to confirm the area meets required safety standards before containment is removed.
Once asbestos-containing materials have been removed, containment remains in place while daily air monitoring continues to confirm conditions remain controlled. A final detailed clean is completed within the contained area, followed by clearance testing to verify the space meets required safety standards.
After clearance is achieved and containment is removed, we coordinate next steps so work can continue safely. This may include renovation, repair, or re-occupancy, depending on the project. Clear communication at this stage helps avoid delays, rework, or unnecessary disruption for other trades.
Focused on safety and project continuity
Asbestos abatement is about more than removal. It is about keeping people safe while allowing projects to move forward responsibly.
Our team focuses on careful planning, clear documentation, and coordination with other trades so abatement does not create unnecessary delays or complications.
