Vancouver Asbestos Disposal Service
What is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral once widely used in construction for its fire-resistant and insulating properties. However, it poses severe health risks when its fibres become airborne and are inhaled. Identifying and handling asbestos-containing materials, especially friable asbestos, requires caution due to the potential health hazards.
Health Risks of Asbestos
Exposure to asbestos fibres can lead to serious health consequences, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. To mitigate these risks, federal laws regulate asbestos use and removal. Scott Asbestos prioritizes safe removal to protect the health and well-being of clients and their families.

- Thorough inspection to identify asbestos-containing materials.
- Certified professionals carefully remove and double-bag materials in thick poly bags labeled "asbestos."
