Do You Need Professional Asbestos Removal?

As of January 1, 2024, British Columbia requires asbestos removal work to be completed by a fully licensed asbestos abatement employer and fully certified technicians. Overseen by WorkSafeBC, this initiative makes BC the first jurisdiction in Canada to enforce such strict regulations.

Scott Asbestos And Hazardous Material Removal Ltd is a fully licensed and certified provider of asbestos abatement services. We have our WorkSafeBC license and our license to transport asbestos. In business since 2018, we’re highly trained and experienced in handling this dangerous material.

What Are the Risks of Asbestos Exposure?

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health issues, particularly affecting the lungs. Asbestos fibers can cause irritation and inflammation when inhaled. Acting quickly is vital if you have worked in an environment containing asbestos or suspect its presence in your home. These health risks are preventable by ensuring proper asbestos removal.

Where Is Asbestos Most Commonly Found?

Asbestos can be found in various materials and locations within both residential and commercial properties.

Some of the most common areas to inspect include:

• Insulation: Asbestos was widely used in thermal insulation for pipes, boilers, and furnaces, particularly in buildings constructed before the 1980s.
• Flooring: Vinyl tiles and linoleum, especially those installed in older buildings, can contain asbestos in their backing or adhesive.
• Roofing: Asbestos cement shingles and roofing felt are often found in older homes. They provide durability but pose health risks when damaged.
• Textiles: Some older fireproof textiles, such as safety apparel, curtains, and insulation blankets, may contain asbestos fibers.
• Wall coatings: Asbestos was commonly used in textured paints and spray-on coatings for ceilings and walls, especially in homes built before its ban.
