Why Asbestos Removal Is Not Optional
Asbestos is a carcinogenic mineral that was widely used in building materials until the 1980s. Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause serious, life-threatening diseases β and the danger is often invisible until decades later.

8 Serious Health Risks of Asbestos Exposure

2 Lung cancer and asbestosis (scarring of lung tissue)
3 Pleural thickening and pleural effusion (fluid buildup)
4 Difficulty breathing and persistent cough
5 Chest pain and tightness
6 Increased risk of other cancers (stomach, colon, ovarian)
7 Symptoms often appear 20-50 years after initial exposure
8 No safe level of asbestos exposure exists
How do you know if your building has asbestos?
Asbestos is often hidden in insulation, floor tiles, roofing materials, drywall, pipe wrap, and sealants. Buildings constructed before 1980 are at highest risk. A professional inspection and lab analysis is the only way to confirm the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Do not disturb suspected asbestos β contact a certified abatement contractor immediately.
What happens if asbestos is left untreated?
Deteriorating asbestos releases microscopic fibers into the air. When inhaled, these fibers lodge in the lungs and can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Symptoms often don't appear for 20β50 years, making early detection and professional removal critical. Families living in homes with asbestos are at continuous risk.
Is asbestos removal covered by home insurance?
Most home insurance policies do not cover asbestos removal as a preventive measure. However, if asbestos causes property damage or health issues, coverage may apply depending on your policy. Professional removal creates documented evidence of remediation, which can protect your property value and liability. Always consult your insurer about coverage.

Everything property owners ask us before booking. Don't see your question? Call us directly.
What is asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fiber used in building materials for decades. When asbestos-containing materials deteriorate or are disturbed, they release microscopic fibers into the air. Inhaling these fibers can cause serious health problems including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. Health Canada estimates over 2,000 Canadians die annually from asbestos-related diseases.
How do I know if my building contains asbestos?
Buildings constructed before 1990 are most likely to contain asbestos. Common locations include insulation, floor tiles, roofing materials, drywall, pipe wrap, and siding. If you suspect asbestos, do not disturb the material. Contact a certified inspector for professional testing. Lab analysis is the only way to confirm asbestos presence.
How much does asbestos removal cost?
Asbestos removal costs vary based on the extent of contamination, location, and accessibility. Small residential projects typically range from $2,000-$5,000, while commercial buildings can cost significantly more. We provide free inspections and detailed quotes before any work begins. All costs include proper containment, removal, and certified disposal.
How long does asbestos removal take?
Residential asbestos removal typically takes 2-5 days depending on the scope of work. Larger commercial projects may take 1-2 weeks. We work efficiently while maintaining strict safety protocols. The timeline includes pre-removal inspection, containment setup, removal, cleanup, and post-removal air quality testing.
Is asbestos removal dangerous?
Professional asbestos removal is safe when performed by certified contractors following EPA and Ontario regulations.
