The Government of Ontario has regulations that dictate how to respond to asbestos and when it needs to be removed. Asbestos-containing materials with over 0.5% contamination by weight must be removed. To assess the contamination levels of construction materials, schedule asbestos testing with Inch By Inch Inspections. If there is 0.5% asbestos or more, you can move forward with professional asbestos removal in Toronto.

Friable Asbestos

Asbestos that is encapsulated or encased in a strong, solid material is considered non-friable. As the material deteriorates with contact or time, asbestos fibres become less tightly held together, eventually to the point where they are deemed friable and at risk of going airborne. Friable asbestos is more hazardous than non-friable asbestos. As such, it should be removed promptly and safely. Asbestos testing and inspections from a certified professional will help you identify any asbestos-containing materials before they are at risk of infesting the air. If there is friable asbestos on your residential or commercial property, contact Inch By Inch Inspections for asbestos abatement services.

What Our Clients Say About Us

Hiring a construction contractor to renovate my house for the first time, I was not familiar with any of the DSS-related requirements. So, it was quite reassuring to find someone like Tony who is trustworthy and knowledgeable. I also needed a quick turnaround for the completed DSS report and Tony delivered (on time, as promised). In short, Tony was great to deal with. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime.

Richard, Toronto

Tony did an excellent job with inspecting the house. He was very knowledgable in his field and thorough with his inspection. He carefully and patiently looked at both the exterior and interior of the building. He pointed out the deficiencies, what the risks are and how to rectify them. He answered all of our questions and made sure that we understood them. He offered his expertise and help if we needed.

Teresa, Toronto

Tony Muscat of Inch by Inch Inspections is extremely professional, caring and a prompt individual, when he heard we may have a mold problem he came immediately. Tony was worried with the level of mold that was contained in this recent purchased older home and he walked me through the process of getting rid of the mold and what dangers were involved. He paid the best attention to us, while we went through this horrible ordeal. The fact that impressed me the most was his vast amount of knowledge, and the dangers of each mould which there are many. He is extremely professional and equipped to handle any job. I would recommend Inch by Inch, (Tony) to anyone he is a concerned and serious individual, that cares about your family!!!!!!!

I contacted this company to do an air quality test after we had asbestos wrapping removed from our basement. They were the most reasonably priced. The young man came the same day and was very thorough about the entire process. I appreciate that Tony was able to get my results sooner than the previously date we originally agreed on.
