Some residential jobs are a single popcorn ceiling before a repaint; others are a full pre-renovation abatement across several rooms. Either way, we scope the job to your actual project, explain what Ontario Regulation 278/05 requires for that specific material, and keep the rest of your home protected while the work happens.
We treat a residential job like it is still someone’s home during the process, not just a job site, keeping the rest of the house clean and usable while the contained area is worked on.
Ceilings, floors, insulation, drywall, and pipe wrap – we handle the materials actually found in Ottawa homes.
The work area is sealed off so fibres cannot spread to the rest of your home while removal is underway.
Once we clear a space, your renovation contractor can get to work without the risk of disturbing hazardous material.
We inspect suspect materials and confirm what you're dealing with before any work begins.
The work area is sealed off with proper containment.
Material is removed using controlled methods and taken to an approved disposal facility.
The area is cleaned and inspected before your renovation crew moves in.
We inspect your home before writing any quote.
The rest of your home stays protected while removal is underway.
Your contractor gets a clear space and clearance documentation.

It depends on the scope. For a small, contained job it's often possible to stay elsewhere in the home during the work; for larger jobs affecting shared air spaces, we'll advise you on what's appropriate as part of your quote.
Homes built before Ontario's 1986 asbestos ban carry the highest risk, especially for popcorn ceilings, vinyl floor tile, and pipe insulation. Testing rather than guessing is the safe approach for a pre-1990 home.
Yes. We clear the hazardous material and hand you clearance documentation, then your renovation contractor takes over the rest of the project.
