Asbestos has been used extensively in residential and commercial buildings for decades. It was emphasized for its durability and heat resistance mechanism leading to gain popularity as a strong building material. Over time, it was discovered that exposure to asbestos leads to serious health risks, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.
Although the use of asbestos declined significantly in the 1980s and 1990s, asbestos-containing materials were not fully banned in Canada until 2018. As a result, many buildings especially those constructed before the ban may still contain these hazardous materials. When disturbed during renovations, construction, or demolition, asbestos fibres can become airborne and spread throughout the property, posing serious health risks to anyone exposed.
Asbestos Testing
Asbestos cannot be seen by the naked eye, so testing should always be done by a qualified professional. Samples must be carefully collected and sent to a CEPA-certified lab for accurate results.
Many people believe that buildings constructed after 1990 are free of asbestos, but that’s not always true. While the use of asbestos dropped significantly in the 1980s and 1990s, it wasn’t fully banned in Canada until 2018. That means some building materials used well into the 2000s and even up to the ban may still contain asbestos.
In our experience, certain sealants, adhesives, caulking, and cement pipes or boards used during this time can still pose a risk. These materials are often found around windows, doors, roof flashings, firestopping areas, and drainage systems.
If your property was built before the 1990s, the likelihood is even greater. Asbestos may be hidden in drywall mud and joint compound, ceiling and floor tiles, roofing shingles, insulation and cement board, pipe wrap, caulking, and other sealants

What You Need To Know About Asbestos
Asbestos is a group of six naturally occurring silicate minerals composed of flexible fibers that are resistant to heat, electricity, and corrosion. They were commonly used in the construction industry, especially for insulation and fireproofing.
Asbestos is still found in many homes and buildings across Canada: Even newer properties may need asbestos testing, especially before renovations or demolitions.
Asbestos becomes harmful once disturbed: When fibres become airborne, they can be inhaled and stay in your system. That’s why timely asbestos removal and asbestos abatement are critical to protecting your health.
There Is No “Safe” Level of Asbestos Exposure: Even trace amounts of asbestos can be harmful. Asbestos testing helps assess the threat level early. Don’t take chances work with certified asbestos abatement companies to stay safe and compliant.
Asbestos Stays in Your System Once Inhaled: Once inhaled or ingested, asbestos fibers remain in your body. Prompt abatement removal is crucial to reduce exposure risks and protect long-term health.
Long-Term Exposure Can Cause Serious Illness: Asbestos has been directly linked to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other severe conditions.
