As mentioned above, the cost for Asbestos Removal services varies depending on certain factors. Every Asbestos job is unique, therefore the costs associated are dependent on the scope of work that needs to be followed. We perform free property inspections when asbestos is found so that we can determine what the proper scope of work will be on the removals and what the estimate will be.

Three Levels of Asbestos Removal (Ontario, Ottawa & Montreal)

1. Type 1
2. Type 2
3. Type 3

The majority of asbestos removals will fall under the Type 2 or 3 category. However smaller projects, such as Asbestos Register Vent Removal, fall under the Type 1 Category as the area is 1 sqft.

Two Levels of Asbestos removal (Edmonton, Calgary & Vancouver)  

1. Low Risk
2. High Risk

A High-Risk Asbestos Removal job requires daily air monitoring during the process which is performed by third party hygienists to prevent a conflict of interest.

Method of Asbestos Removal

1. Glove Bag Removal - This is typically used around pipes and ductwork, which is executed with local containments
2. Full Containment Removal - This is used on the majority of asbestos removal projects where the entire room(s) is contained and removals are complete.

Working on older buildings, regulations state that before any renovation or demolition project begins a DSS (Designated Substance Survey) must be completed. This will determine if asbestos abatement services are required.
