Asbestos Removal / Remediation / Abatement

Most residential and commercial buildings built before 1990 are very likely to have been constructed using building materials containing asbestos.

Any plans to renovate, redevelop, or demolish one of these structures must, by law, include an action plan to deal with any Asbestos Containing Material that may be present. These materials must be either fully encapsulated, or completely removed and disposed of in accordance with the legislations and regulations relating to the safe handling of any material containing asbestos.

The containment and/or removal of Asbestos Containing Material is a highly specialized activity and must be performed by an accredited and experienced team of professionals.

AsBest Environmental provides all types of Asbestos Abatement, Remediation, and Removal Services. These services are performed by our Certified Professionals, following the strictest of protocols and utilizing the most up to date and specialized equipment, to ensure that every job is done correctly and completely.

Asbestos Testing

It is imperative, as well as legally required, that anyone about to renovate, redevelop, or demolish any residential or commercial building constructed before 1990, must test for the presence of any Asbestos Containing Materials.

There are a number of testing procedures that are commonly used to determine if there are any such materials present in the structure. Comprehensive visual inspection, the sampling of the various materials present, and qualitative air monitoring are all available through AsBest Environmental.

Any and all of these tests will be conducted by certified professionals to ensure accuracy and safety.

This testing is always necessary to identify both the presence and the type of Asbestos Containing Material in the structure, thereby allowing for the creation of a comprehensive action plan for its containment or removal.

Moisture Testing

Once any Asbestos Containing Materials have been encapsulated or removed, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive moisture testing to ensure that there are no longer any contaminants present. This is especially important if any asbestos was found in an area of high humidity such as a residential kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room, or a commercial kitchen or laundry.

In conjunction with Certified Professionals highly experienced with this type of testing, AsBest Environmental will conduct a thorough Moisture Testing Procedure to ensure that all traces of Asbestos Containing Material have been removed from the affected area and that is considered to be fully safe for your family or employees.

Mould Remediation and Removal

Asbestos contamination is not the only potentially harmful substance that can be present in a structure. Mould is a serious health hazard and can be present in any type of building, of any age.

AsBest Environmental has long-standing relationships with a number of highly qualified and professional companies that specialize in the identification and removal of this very dangerous substance.

We would be happy to oversee the efforts of any of these companies to ensure that this work is done both efficiently and completely, to fully ensure the safety of your property, your family or employees, and the environment.

HOW WE PERFORM ASBESTOS ABATEMENT

AsBest Environmental Inc. strictly adheres to all Alberta Occupational Health & Safety regulations for asbestos abatement. Comprehensive training is provided to staff, complete with necessary personal protective equipment. Furthermore, all required permits are applied for and equipment is certified to guarantee safety protocols are met. As such, clients can be confident that all regulations will be followed and every precaution taken to ensure a safe working environment.

Containment of asbestos-containing materials is a crucial step for the removal process. Regulations necessitate that abatement is performed under negative air pressure to prevent hazardous asbestos fibres from entering the external environment. In cases involving high risk, clean rooms with decontamination showers are accordingly established. Moreover, air monitoring by third-party consultants is implemented during moderate and high-risk abatements.

 
 
 

Why Asbest Environmental?

First and foremost, AsBest Environmental strictly adheres to all Occupational Health and Safety regulations covering the removal of Asbestos Containing Material, or materials contaminated with Mould. Furthermore, all required permits and approvals are obtained before the commencement of any work. In addition, all AsBest Environmental personnel are highly trained and fully certified. We also utilize the latest in technology and equipment to fully guarantee that all established protocols are followed and that every precaution is taken to ensure a safe working environment.

For example, the Asbestos Removal Process begins with containment. This is a crucial step in the process, as both Federal and Provincial Government regulations stipulate that any asbestos removal be performed under the strictest of conditions. This may require the creation of a negative air pressure work area. In the case of High-Risk Contamination clean rooms are required to be created, including the presence of decontamination showers.

Once all necessary precautions have been taken, and the work area has been sealed to protect against any transfer of airborne asbestos fibers, a Certified Environmental Consultant will test the air quality both inside the containment zone, and all areas immediately outside of it. This testing will continue throughout the removal process.

At AsBest Environmental, we safely remove all Asbestos Contaminated Material and dispose of it in strict accordance with all Federal and Provincial regulations. Once this has been accomplished and the work area is deemed to be free of contamination, our team will perform a comprehensive clearance inspection to ensure that all hazardous materials have been completely removed and the containment area can be dismantled.
