About Edmonton Asbestos Abatement

Our Story

Edmonton Asbestos Abatement was founded with a clear and urgent mission: to protect Edmonton families and workers from the dangerous health effects of asbestos exposure. What began as a small team of passionate environmental safety professionals has grown into Edmonton's most trusted asbestos abatement company, serving thousands of residential and commercial clients across the capital region.

Our founders recognized that Edmonton's building stock — with thousands of homes and commercial buildings constructed between the 1940s and early 1990s — presented a significant asbestos risk to the community. During those decades, asbestos was used extensively in insulation, floor tiles, ceiling textures, pipe wrapping, roofing materials, and countless other building products. As these buildings age and undergo renovations, the potential for asbestos fibre release grows dramatically.

From our very first project, we committed to doing things the right way. That means full compliance with Alberta Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, proper containment procedures, accredited laboratory testing, and meticulous documentation. We've maintained that commitment through every single project — and it shows in our perfect safety record and the trust Edmonton homeowners and businesses place in us.

Today, we offer a complete range of environmental services including asbestos testing, asbestos removal, professional abatement, encapsulation, vermiculite removal, mould remediation, and lead paint removal. We serve Edmonton and all surrounding communities including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Leduc, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, Stony Plain, Devon, and Morinville.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple but vital: to protect Edmonton families and workers from asbestos exposure through safe, professional, and thorough abatement services.

Every day, we work to ensure that the homes where Edmonton families sleep, the schools where children learn, and the buildings where professionals work are free from the hidden dangers of asbestos contamination. Asbestos-related diseases — including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer — are entirely preventable when proper abatement procedures are followed. That's what drives us.

We believe that every Edmontonian deserves access to honest, transparent information about asbestos risks in their property. That's why we start every engagement with a thorough inspection and provide clear, detailed reports about our findings. We never upsell unnecessary services or create undue alarm — we simply present the facts and recommend the safest, most cost-effective course of action.

Our commitment extends beyond individual projects. We actively work to raise awareness about asbestos safety in the Edmonton community through educational resources, our informative blog, and community outreach programs. When homeowners and business owners understand the risks, they make better decisions to protect themselves and their families.

Our Team

Behind every successful abatement project is a team of highly trained, experienced, and certified professionals. At Edmonton Asbestos Abatement, we invest heavily in our people because we know that the quality of our work depends entirely on the skill and dedication of our technicians.

Every member of our abatement crew holds an Alberta Asbestos Worker Certificate — a requirement under Alberta OHS legislation for anyone performing asbestos work. But we go far beyond the minimum. Our team members regularly undergo advanced training in the latest abatement techniques, safety protocols, and regulatory updates. Many hold additional certifications from organizations like the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC).

Our project managers bring decades of combined experience to every job. They oversee containment setup, air monitoring, material removal, waste disposal, and final clearance testing — ensuring that every step meets or exceeds Alberta safety standards. Their expertise means our projects are completed efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to your home or business.

We also maintain a network of partnerships with accredited environmental laboratories for independent sample analysis, ensuring objectivity and accuracy in every test result. When we say your property is safe, you can trust that assessment is backed by rigorous third-party verification.

Our Commitment to Safety

Safety isn't just a policy at Edmonton Asbestos Abatement — it's the foundation of everything we do. Our perfect safety record across thousands of projects reflects our uncompromising approach to protecting our workers, our clients, and the surrounding community.

Every project begins with a comprehensive risk assessment and detailed work plan that outlines containment procedures, personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, air monitoring protocols, and waste disposal procedures. We follow Alberta OHS regulations to the letter, including:

• 72-Hour Written Notification — We submit proper notification to Alberta OHS before commencing any asbestos abatement work, as required by legislation.
• Engineering Controls — Full containment with polyethylene sheeting, negative air pressure systems, and HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to prevent fibre migration.
• Personal Protective Equipment — All workers wear appropriate respirators, disposable coveralls, and other PPE as required by the specific hazard level.
• Air Monitoring — Continuous air monitoring during and after abatement using Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) or Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) methods.
• Accredited Laboratory Analysis — All bulk and air samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories using recognized analytical methods including Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) for material identification.
• Proper Waste Disposal — All asbestos-containing waste is double-bagged, labelled, and transported to approved disposal facilities in accordance with Alberta regulations.

We maintain detailed documentation of every project, including pre-abatement inspection reports, air monitoring results, waste disposal manifests, and final clearance certificates. This documentation provides our clients with complete transparency and a permanent record for their property.

Community Involvement

Edmonton Asbestos Abatement is proud to be an active member of the Edmonton business community. We believe that our responsibility extends beyond individual client projects to include broader community education and support.

We regularly participate in community safety events and home renovation workshops where we educate Edmonton homeowners about the risks of asbestos in older properties. Many homeowners don't realize that their pre-1990 home likely contains asbestos-containing materials that could pose a health risk during renovations or as materials deteriorate with age.

Our team also works closely with local real estate professionals to provide pre-purchase asbestos assessments, helping homebuyers make informed decisions. When a property transaction involves a building constructed before 1990, an asbestos inspection can reveal potential liabilities and costs that should be factored into the purchase decision.

We support local trades organizations and safety advocacy groups, contributing to a culture of workplace safety across the Edmonton construction industry. Our commitment to training the next generation of environmental safety professionals helps ensure that Edmonton's growing community will have access to qualified asbestos abatement services for years to come.
