What You’re Dealing With
Asbestos was standard in Canadian construction until the late 1980s. Common locations in Toronto buildings:
Pipe and boiler insulation (pre-1990)
Textured ceilings and coatings (pre-1980)
Drywall joint compound (pre-1984)
Vinyl floor tiles and adhesives (pre-1986)
Vermiculite attic insulation (pre-1990)
Roofing materials and siding (pre-1989)
Our Process
Site Survey & Material Sampling
Non-destructive testing and lab analysis to confirm presence and concentration.
Risk Classification
Assessment under Ontario OHSA — Type 1, 2, or 3 — to determine the appropriate protocol.
Negative Pressure Containment
Full isolation to prevent fiber migration to unaffected areas of the building.
Safe Removal
HEPA vacuums, full PPE compliance, and disposal through approved hazardous waste channels.
Air Monitoring & Clearance
Independent verification that the area is safe for re-occupancy before work is signed off.
Ontario Asbestos Classification
Type I — Low Risk
Non-friable materials
Minor disturbance only. Dust control and HEPA vacuuming required. No enclosure needed.
Dust control + HEPA vacuuming
Type II — Moderate Risk
Friable materials under 1 sq. metre
Containment enclosure and negative air pressure required throughout the work area.
Containment + negative air pressure
Type III — High Risk
Friable material over 1 sq. metre
Full containment, decon facilities, and extensive air monitoring required at all times.
Full containment + decon facilities + air monitoring
