What is Asbestos?

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that used to be a very popular choice in construction because of its heat resistance and durability. It was widely used by building owners in materials, especially for insulation and fireproofing purposes.

However, once it was found that exposure to asbestos fibers leads to serious health problems like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer, its use was banned. Now it’s paramount to remove it from older buildings to ensure safety.

The Importance of Asbestos Testing

The Importance of Asbestos Testing

Asbestos testing is critical for identifying the presence of this dangerous material in homes, offices, and industrial spaces. The problem with asbestos fibers is that they are tiny and can’t be easily seen with the naked eye. In older buildings built before the 1990s, there is a high chance that they have asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). That’s why it’s crucial to get an asbestos inspection done early so you can remove it and avoid harmful exposure.

Common materials that may contain asbestos include:

  • Insulation
  • Roofing materials
  • Vinyl floor tiles
  • Ceiling tiles and textured coatings
  • Cement sheets, pipes, and siding
  • Drywall joint compound
  • Popcorn ceilings
  • Window caulking

Our Services

At Double Clean Restoration, we provide thorough asbestos inspection services to ensure the proper detection of ACMs in your property. Our trained professionals use advanced equipment and follow strict testing protocols to collect samples and send them to certified labs for analysis. After testing, we provide you with a detailed report on the presence and concentration of asbestos in your building.

When to Test

  • Building Maintenance
  • Renovations
  • Demolition

Testing for asbestos is especially necessary if you are planning any renovations or suspect damage to older building materials. Even small remodeling projects can release dangerous asbestos fibers. Asbestos testing is also needed if you see signs of wear and tear in places like insulation, caulking, or plaster.

Our Process: From Inspection to Disposal

When dealing with asbestos-containing materials in your home or business, safety and compliance are critical. Our experienced team follows a detailed removal process to ensure that fibres are not released into the air, where they can cause serious health risks.

Initial Inspection & Testing

If you are planning renovations or suspect the presence of asbestos and mould, we begin with professional asbestos testing. Using state-of-the-art equipment, we carefully detect asbestos in materials such as drywall, insulation, flooring, or ceiling tiles. Air monitoring may also be performed to assess overall air quality.

Assessment & Planning

Once asbestos hazards are identified, our specialists prepare a tailored plan. This includes outlining safety measures, the extent of hazardous material removal, and disposal methods. All work complies with provincial regulations throughout Alberta.

Containment & Abatement

Before removal begins, we set up containment zones to prevent asbestos fibres from spreading. Our certified asbestos removal experts then carry out the asbestos abatement services with care, often alongside mould remediation if other hazardous conditions are present.

Removal & Disposal

The controlled asbestos removal and abatement phase involves carefully extracting affected asbestos-containing materials, placing them in sealed containers, and transporting them to approved disposal facilities. Final Clearance & Restoration – after professional asbestos removal, air monitoring and clearance testing verify that the site is safe. Our team can also provide follow-up restoration services to return your property to its original condition.
