Asbestos is still recognized as one of the most hazardous residual materials in buildings, which is seen in many old properties in Ontario. Even if asbestos was utilized in buildings in the past due to properties such as resistance to heat, current evidence has proved it to be hazardous to health if it is disrupted in buildings, as is common in Halton Hills properties.

Despite the ban imposed in most applications over the past decades, asbestos can be found in buildings prior to the late 1980s. A large number of houses and office buildings in the region, covering Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams, and Halton Hills, may contain asbestos concealed in the building material.
Asbestos-containing products are normally found during renovations, upgrading, or demolition jobs. Common asbestos-containing products include:
When exposed to cuts, sanding, or degradation, microscopic fibers are released into the air. Occupants breathe these fibers in, exposing their bodies to severe long-term health problems.

Given that no two buildings are alike, all of our asbestos work is customized based on material type, location, and risk level. Within Halton Hills, some of the most frequent types of asbestos work we complete include:
Decorative ceilings installed before the 1990s may also include asbestos. As asbestos is removed from the contaminated area, we ensure the adjacent spaces remain safe from contamination as well.
Simple visual inspection is not satisfactory. Samples are selected and tested by reputable labs for asbestos presence before any work is started.
Attic insulation in old homes can be made of vermiculite contaminated with asbestos fibers. Removal of the contaminated material is carried out in a safe manner by our staff using appropriate asbestos containment strategies.
Before walls, ceilings, or floors are torn out, asbestos needs to be handled correctly. Our team works in unison with remodelling schedules.

Health Risks Associated With Improper Asbestos Removal

Long-term exposure is associated with serious illnesses such as:
Because it may be years before the symptoms arise, the only real preventative measure is professional asbestos removal.
Safe handling of asbestos involves more than removal. It entails proper documentation, transportation in a controlled manner, and final disposal at licensed facilities.
Our asbestos management reports include:
All asbestos waste is wrapped and sealed, labelled, transported, and disposed of as per provincial environmental regulations, never mixed with standard construction waste.
