Asbestos Removal Experts handles asbestos testing and removal for homeowners, contractors, and property managers across Ottawa. We explain what we find in plain language, contain the work area properly, and keep you informed from the first assessment to the final disposal record.
If your building may have been built before 1990, Ontario Regulation 278/05 generally requires a designated substance assessment before renovation, demolition, repair, or maintenance work begins. Work is classified Type 1, 2, or 3 depending on the material and its condition, and each type has its own required controls. We help you meet that requirement instead of guessing at it.
