      Asbestos Removal FAQS

      Asbestos is a naturally occurring silicate mineral that’s made up of thin, microscopic fibres. These flexible fibres are resistance to heat, fire, electricity, and corrosion. It’s been used in the past as an effective construction material to provide insulation to homes and was also commonly added to things like paper, plastic, and cement to make them more durable.

      Although it has its benefits, long-term exposure to asbestos can lead to a wide variety of health risks like cancer and lung poisoning.

      It can be. Asbestos is only dangerous if someone has prolonged or constant exposure to it. If asbestos is disturbed, the thin microscopic fibres can get airborne and are likely to get into your lungs. Prolonged exposure to airborne asbestos particles can lead to a variety of different health complications – including several types of cancer.

       

      Asbestos poisoning, otherwise referred to as “asbestosis”, is a chronic lung disease that occurs from prolonged exposure to asbestos. Asbestosis decreases the elasticity of the lungs and creates a scar-like tissue which makes it more difficult to breath.

       

      The only way to confidently confirm the presence of asbestos is to get a sample tested by an accredited asbestos laboratory. It’s strongly recommended that if you suspect that you have asbestos in your home that you leave the testing and removal of asbestos to certified and licensed professionals.

      The cost of asbestos removal services will vary based on several different factors. The size of your home, the equipment required, the risk level, and the scope of work are all aspects that can influence the cost of an asbestos removal job. A rough estimate for the average asbestos removal service in Ontario can cost somewhere between $10 – $15 per a square foot of the building.

      Keep in mind that this cost will vary from one service provider to the next and will change based on the previously mentioned factors. Contact us for a quote for our asbestos removal services!

      There are three types of asbestos removal or abatement operations – Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3. Type 1 operations involve the lowest risk of exposure and require the least amount of expertise, while Type 3 is the highest risk of exposure and requires more specific training.

      Certification is only required for all individuals and supervisors involved in a Type 3 asbestos abatement operation. However, asbestos awareness training is recommended for all individuals that perform Type 1 and Type 2 operations.
