Asbestos is a tricky contaminant to deal with at home or in your business. Unlike mold it doesn’t present with a strong odour. While it can have a distinct look, professionals strongly recommend that you do not come into close contact with suspected asbestos-containing materials. To ensure the mineral is completely absent from your property or to ensure you and occupants are not at risk of exposure, you must work with a certified company, like Inch By Inch Inspections, that offers asbestos removal in Oakville, Toronto, and the surrounding areas.
Asbestos removal begins with a comprehensive designated substance survey or asbestos inspection. This involves the collection of samples from materials suspected to contain asbestos, such as ceiling tiles, pipe insulation, plaster, floor tiles, or siding. The samples are sent to an accredited laboratory for testing to confirm the presence and concentration of asbestos fibres.
Once asbestos is confirmed, the condition of the material is evaluated. Friable asbestos, which can easily crumble and become airborne, poses a greater health risk and typically requires more immediate removal. Non-friable asbestos may be managed in place under specific conditions.
Professionals also assess location, accessibility, and potential for disturbance when deciding the safest approach for asbestos removal. This allows the team to develop a tailored abatement plan that complies with Ontario health and safety regulations.
Inch By Inch Inspections provides clear reporting, safe removal practices, and follow-up testing to ensure your property is asbestos-free and safe for occupancy.
