A TRUSTED APPROACH
trusted
Before starting your renovation or demolition project, it is important to test building materials suspected of containing asbestos to confirm the presence of asbestos.
Certified Asbestos Removal Inc. employs knowledgeable and competent individuals who are knowledgeable at properly sampling building materials suspected of containing asbestos. All sampling procedures adhere to the methodologies outlined in the Alberta Asbestos Abatement Manual to ensure representative and accurate results.
ASBESTOS AIR SAMPLING
AIR
Our knowledgeable and competent team performs sampling for asbestos fibres for the purpose of complying with the Alberta Health and Safety Occupational Exposure Limit. Air samples are taken prior to the start of the work (background samples), during the abatement activities (on a daily basis), and upon completion of the job (before the enclosure is dismantled). Personal occupational samples are also collected daily to ensure that the work is being performed without the release of fibres, and to make certain that workers are wearing appropriate respirators for the type of work. All air monitoring is conducted by competent personnel while following the methods specified in the Occupational Health and Safety Legislation (NIOSH Method 7400.
WHAT IS ASBESTOS?
what
Asbestos is the common name given to a group of naturally occurring mineral silicates that can be separated into flexible fibres. The name asbestos comes from the Greek word meaning unquenchable or indestructible. The main properties that make asbestos useful are its incombustibility, strength and flexibility when separated into fibres. It is also effective as a reinforcing or binding agent when combined with cement or plastic. Asbestos can be found in materials such as:
- Building exteriors (e.g., cement siding panels, soffits, roof panels, mastics, stucco);
- Flooring (e.g., vinyl asbestos tiles, sheet vinyl flooring, and floor leveling compound);
- Ceilings (e.g., ceiling tiles, acoustic and stipple finishes, and plaster or drywall);
- Walls (e.g., plaster or drywall joint compound, stippled finishes, and cement panels); and
- Insulation (e.g., vermiculite, boilers, vessels, pipes, ducts, floors, ceilings and walls)
THE HAZARDS OF ASBESTOS
Asbestos is a hazardous building material that must be inhaled to cause disease. Intact and undisturbed asbestos presents no direct health hazard but does present a potential exposure hazard should fibres be released and inhaled. Asbestos-related diseases include asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma.
WHY TEST FOR ASBESTOS?
Once embedded in lung tissue, asbestos fibres may remain within the body for extended periods. It is important to test for the presence of asbestos before initiating any building repairs, improvements on structures or the demolition of buildings that were built prior to 1990.

Certified Asbestos Removal is one of the most professional and caring companies I've ever hired. Peter and James were extremely easy to work with and did a fine job with the abatement. There was one tiny issue noticed afterward and one call to Peter and he was out and had it taken care of that same day. I couldn't have asked for more. Their communication and ideas were excellent as well. In my opinion this company goes above and beyond good service and rates five stars all the way. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Thank you very much guys.

I had a great experience dealing with Certified Asbestos Removal. Peter responded within 10 minutes to my request for a quote and sent a tech to site the next day for testing who was also a pleasure to work with. They put me at ease on the issues I had and also relayed a lot of info to cover some future questions.
