Learn More →Encapsulation & Enclosure
When removal isn't practical or necessary, professional encapsulation provides a safe, cost-effective alternative. We apply specialized sealants and coatings that bind asbestos fibres in place, preventing them from becoming airborne. This approach is ideal for undamaged materials in good condition, such as pipe insulation, ceiling tiles, and transite panels.
Learn More →Vermiculite Removal
Specialized removal of vermiculite attic insulation, which may contain asbestos from the Libby, Montana mine (sold as Zonolite). Many Edmonton homes built between the 1940s and 1990s contain vermiculite insulation that can harbour tremolite asbestos. Our team uses industrial HEPA vacuums and full containment protocols to safely remove every trace from your attic.
Learn More →Mould Remediation
Professional mould assessment and remediation services using industry-leading containment and removal techniques. We identify the source of moisture intrusion, contain the affected area, remove all mould-contaminated materials, and treat surfaces with antimicrobial solutions.

Learn More →Lead Paint Removal
Safe removal of lead-based paint from homes and commercial buildings built before 1992. Lead paint is particularly dangerous for children and pregnant women, and disturbing it during renovation can create harmful lead dust.

How We Handle Your Asbestos Project
Our proven 5-step process ensures every asbestos project is completed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with Alberta regulations. From the initial inspection to final clearance, we keep you informed every step of the way.
Inspect
We begin with a free on-site assessment of your property. Our certified inspector visually examines all suspect materials, documents their condition and location, and identifies areas that may require sampling. This comprehensive survey gives us a clear picture of the scope of work required and forms the foundation of your project plan.
Test
Bulk samples of suspect materials are carefully collected using proper safety protocols and sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Lab results typically arrive within 2–3 business days, though rush turnaround is available for urgent projects. We'll review the results with you and explain exactly what was found.
Plan
Based on the lab results and site assessment, we develop a custom abatement plan tailored to your property and project. This includes detailed work procedures, containment strategies, worker protection measures, waste disposal logistics, and a project timeline. For Type 2 and Type 3 work, we handle the mandatory 72-hour OHS notification on your behalf.
Remove
Our certified technicians execute the abatement plan using industry-best practices. This includes setting up full negative-pressure containment enclosures, wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, carefully removing all asbestos-containing materials, and double-bagging all waste in properly labelled disposal bags. Every step is performed in strict accordance with Alberta OHS requirements.
Certify
After removal is complete, we conduct thorough visual inspections and professional air quality testing (PCM or TEM analysis) to confirm that airborne fibre levels are below the Alberta OHS occupational exposure limit. Once clearance is achieved, we provide you with a comprehensive clearance report and certificate of completion that you can present to contractors, insurers, or regulatory authorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring mineral fibres that were widely used in construction materials throughout the 20th century due to their exceptional heat resistance, tensile strength, and insulating properties. Common asbestos-containing materials include insulation, floor tiles, ceiling textures, roofing shingles, pipe wrap, and drywall joint compound.
Asbestos becomes dangerous when materials containing it are disturbed, damaged, or deteriorated, releasing microscopic fibres into the air. When inhaled, these fibres can become lodged in the lungs and remain there permanently, causing serious health conditions including asbestosis (scarring of lung tissue), lung cancer, and mesothelioma — a rare and aggressive cancer of the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. There is no safe level of asbestos exposure, which is why professional testing and removal are essential before any renovation or demolition project.
If your Edmonton home was built before 1990, there is a significant likelihood that it contains asbestos in one or more building materials. Asbestos was commonly used in Canadian construction from the 1930s through the early 1990s. Common locations where asbestos may be found include:
Textured ceilings (popcorn or stipple), drywall joint compound, vinyl floor tiles and sheet flooring, pipe and duct insulation, vermiculite attic insulation (Zonolite brand), exterior stucco, roofing materials, and furnace cement and gaskets. You cannot identify asbestos by visual inspection alone — laboratory testing is the only way to confirm its presence. We recommend professional asbestos testing before beginning any renovation or demolition work.
The cost of asbestos removal in Edmonton varies depending on several factors, including the type and amount of asbestos-containing material, its location and accessibility, the level of containment required, and whether the work is classified as Type 1, Type 2, or Type 3 under Alberta OHS regulations. Small residential projects such as removing a section of drywall mud or pipe insulation may start in the range of a few hundred dollars, while larger projects involving vermiculite attic insulation, entire floor systems, or multi-room abatement can range into the thousands.
We provide free, no-obligation estimates for every project. Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive — there are no hidden fees for setup, disposal, or air testing. Contact us for a free on-site assessment and detailed written quote specific to your property.
Yes. Under the Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Code, Part 4, employers and building owners have a legal obligation to identify asbestos-containing materials before any work that may disturb them. This includes renovations, demolitions, maintenance work, and any activity that could release asbestos fibres into the air.
Before beginning renovation or demolition work on buildings constructed before 1990, a hazardous materials survey should be conducted by a qualified professional. If asbestos is found, the appropriate type of abatement (Type 1, 2, or 3) must be carried out by certified workers, and a 72-hour advance notification must be submitted to Alberta OHS for Type 2 and Type 3 work. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in significant fines, stop-work orders, and legal liability. Our testing services ensure you meet all regulatory requirements.
The timeline for asbestos removal depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Small, straightforward projects — such as removing a section of pipe insulation or a patch of drywall compound — can often be completed in a single day. Medium-sized projects like removing an entire textured ceiling or vinyl floor typically take 2–3 days. Larger projects such as full vermiculite attic removal or multi-area abatement may take a week or more.
Keep in mind that the overall project timeline also includes testing (2–3 business days for lab results), the mandatory 72-hour OHS notification period for Type 2 and Type 3 work, and post-removal air clearance testing. We work efficiently to minimize disruption and keep your renovation on schedule. For urgent projects, we offer rush testing and expedited scheduling. Contact us for a project-specific timeline estimate.
Yes, absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency asbestos response services for situations where asbestos-containing materials have been accidentally disturbed, damaged by fire or flooding, or otherwise compromised. Our emergency crew can be dispatched to your location within hours of your call, any time of day or night, including weekends and holidays.
Emergency situations include accidental disturbance during unauthorized renovations, fire or water damage to asbestos-containing materials, vandalism or break-ins that damage building materials, and any situation where occupants may be exposed to airborne asbestos fibres.
