Don’t let hazardous materials endanger your Health
Health Risks: Mold, lead, and asbestos aren’t just inconvenient—they’re dangerous. Exposure can lead to serious health problems, from respiratory issues to long-term illness.
Project Delays: Finding hazardous materials during a project can bring everything to a grinding halt. Improper removal can lead to costly delays and even fines for not complying with safety regulations.
Legal Liabilities: In Ontario, strict regulations govern the removal of hazardous materials. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines, legal issues, and even the shutdown of your project.

Asbestos, Lead and Mould Abatement in Toronto and the GTA
Abatement means finding hazardous materials, containing them and removing them safely before renovation or demolition goes ahead. We remove asbestos, lead and mould on residential and commercial projects across Toronto and the GTA, from the initial inspection to the final clearance.
Where is asbestos found in buildings?
Health Canada says asbestos was mainly used before 1990 to insulate buildings and homes, and for fireproofing. Places it can turn up include floor and ceiling tiles, insulation around hot water pipes and tanks, and vermiculite insulation in attics and walls.
You can’t confirm asbestos by looking at a material. Health Canada’s advice is to avoid disturbing anything that may contain it and to have a professional test before you renovate.
What Ontario requires before work starts
Section 30 of Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act requires a project owner to find out whether designated substances, including asbestos, are on site and to list them before the project begins. This also applies to owners of residential properties who undertake projects.
Ontario Regulation 278/05 then sorts asbestos work into Type 1, 2 or 3, which can be thought of as low, medium and high risk of exposure. The type decides which controls apply, such as isolation enclosures and worker training.
How abatement works
- Inspection. We look at the site and what the project will disturb.
- Testing. Suspect materials are sampled and confirmed before anyone removes them.
- Containment. The work area is controlled to suit the hazard.
- Removal. Our crew removes the material following strict protocols.
- Clearance. The space is cleaned and ready for the next stage of your project.
Lead and mould
Lead-based materials are tested first, then removed to reduce exposure. For mould, we identify it, contain it and remove it, with air filtration and sanitization to stop it spreading.
What affects the cost and timeline?
The type and amount of material, where it is, how the work is classified, site access and how much has to be contained. We visit the site first and send a detailed estimate within 24 to 48 hours of that assessment. If hazardous materials turn up mid-project, contact us before anyone disturbs them further.
Abatement questions
Can I remove asbestos myself in Ontario?
We advise against it. Asbestos fibres are invisible and dangerous even in small amounts, and DIY work is restricted or prohibited in most cases. Health Canada recommends hiring a qualified specialist.
How do I know if my home has asbestos?
Only testing can confirm it. Older homes are the main concern, because asbestos was mainly used before 1990.
Do I need abatement before demolition?
If asbestos or another designated substance is on site and the work would disturb it, yes. It has to be dealt with before demolition goes ahead. See our complete demolition page for the full order of work.
Can asbestos be left in place?
Often, yes. Health Canada says there are no significant health risks if it is left undisturbed, isolated in an attic, or sealed behind walls and floorboards. Removal becomes the issue when renovation or demolition would disturb it.
Do you work with general contractors?
Yes. One Ontario GC called us after running into asbestos flooring while converting a basement into a legal unit. Certificates are available on request.
