Effects of Asbestos Exposure
Asbestos is most commonly found in building materials that were produced prior to 1987. Today, asbestos is not as commonly used in Canada since prolonged exposure to asbestos has been proven to be a health hazard. When the asbestos fibers are released into the air, anyone breathing the air is at risk. Asbestos exposure has been linked to lung scarring, cancer, mesothelioma and Asbestosis.
Asbestos is a natural mineral which was commonly used in homes, buildings and schools for various uses such as insulation, in attics, around pipes, ducts/HVAC systems, behind walls, in basements and also in ceiling tiles, plaster ceilings, plaster applied to wood lath, ceramic/vinyl floor tiles and roof shingles, etc.

Removal of asbestos is a very intricate and extensive job. It must be done properly and by an experienced and certified asbestos company. When working with asbestos materials, extreme precautions must be taken to protect our workers from breathing in the asbestos fibers. But more importantly, to prevent cross-contamination so that people living in the home are not re-exposed to asbestos. You should never attempt Asbestos Removal on your own or by someone who is not certified and trained in the removal of Asbestos.
The asbestos material is first sprayed with a binding agent throughout the process so it remains wet as it is being removed. The purpose is so the asbestos fibers aren’t able to become airborne. The plaster is then removed, placed in 6mm poly bags, and sealed. Air Scrubbing machines with HEPA filtration systems remain running throughout the process.
