Serving Barrhaven
Mostly newer construction, with older pockets worth checking
Barrhaven’s growth took off in the 1980s and has continued steadily since, as part of the former City of Nepean before the 2001 amalgamation. Most of Barrhaven’s housing stock is young enough to carry lower asbestos risk than Ottawa’s older core neighbourhoods, but its earliest 1980s-era sections still fall inside the window when asbestos-containing materials were being phased out rather than eliminated overnight. We treat every Barrhaven job on its own build-year merits rather than assuming the whole community is risk-free.
Newer construction, same diligence
We don't skip testing just because a home looks newer
Most of Barrhaven is recent construction, but its earliest 1980s sections still warrant a proper look. We assess based on the actual property, not an assumption about the neighbourhood.

Asbestos testing and removal throughout Barrhaven
Barrhaven's development began in earnest in the 1980s under the former City of Nepean, before the 2001 Ottawa amalgamation.
The community's rapid, continuous growth means recent-decade construction dominates, generally lowering average asbestos risk compared to Ottawa's older neighbourhoods.
Barrhaven's earliest 1980s subdivisions still sit inside the era when asbestos use was being phased out rather than eliminated all at once, so testing is still worthwhile for those specific homes.
Barrhaven asbestos questions
Since Barrhaven is newer, do we still need testing before renovating?
For most 1990s-and-later Barrhaven homes, risk is lower, but we still recommend testing before disturbing any ceiling, flooring, or insulation if you're not certain of the exact build year or original materials.
Are Barrhaven's oldest sections from the 1980s a bigger concern?
They can be. Homes built in the early-to-mid 1980s fall inside the window when Ontario was phasing out asbestos use, so those specific properties are worth testing rather than assuming they're clear.
Do you handle new-construction sites in Barrhaven too?
Our focus is testing and removal in existing structures. If your project involves demolishing or renovating an older building on a Barrhaven lot before new construction, that's exactly the kind of job we handle.
