Vermiculite Removal

Vermiculite is a type of insulation material that may contain asbestos. It should be noted that not all vermiculite contains asbestos.

Vermiculite is a natural mineral that was used predominately between the late 1920’s to the late 1970’s. Some of the vermiculite mines contained asbestos and some did not. This is why you must test the vermiculite if it is present in your property to determine if asbestos removal is required..  Many homes contain vermiculite insulation due to the beneficial characteristics of asbestos.

The process of removing vermiculite can be extensive and needs to be done by professionals to ensure that the asbestos does not cross contaminate the property and pose a health risk to those exposed. Certified technicians must follow industry standards and protocols to ensure their own safety as well as the home owners.

vermiculite insulation removal

Today, vermiculite insulation is no longer used, however there are still mines that produce vermiculite for other purposes. These mines are tested regularly to ensure that there is no asbestos present.

The prolonged exposure to asbestos is very harmful to one’s health. When the fibers within the asbestos are released, by being disturbed, the body breathes in these fibers and they are trapped in the lungs. This can lead to lung scaring and in extreme cases - cancer. Monitoring the conditions of any material containing asbestos is highly recommended to ensure it does not become airborne.

If you suspect that your home, property or office may contain vermiculite you should bring in an asbestos certified inspector to check it out. If vermiculite if found, it should then be tested to see if it contains asbestos. If the vermiculite has been disturbed, extra precaution needs to be taken.

Insulation removal and especially insulation with Vermiculite has to be done by professional companies that have training and insurance in place for this type of service.

Removal of asbestos is a very complex and extensive job. It must be done by an experienced and certified contractor. When disturbing an asbestos product, extreme precautions must be taken to protect the worker from breathing in the fibers. Below are pictures of the experts at Canada's Restoration Services preparing a home for an asbestos removal project. We follow a strict procedure to ensure that there is no cross-contamination by sealing & protecting any affected and/or possibly affected areas.

After the restoration company provided by our insurance failed to clean the sewage in our basement and crawl space we reached out to everyone we knew. Our realtor referred us to Laura and Jorge at Canada’s Restoration Services. We actually ended up with two other contacts referring us to them as well. To say that we were taken care of is an understatement. Jorge, Laura and their team went above and beyond to help us. Jorge took the time to answer all our questions and most importantly ensure we were satisfied with the work done. Thank you all.

We were affected by the huge storm and rain which came in and had water damage in our basement. Right away we had reassurance that we were not alone.

It was @LauraHanrahan notifying us about the company she works for, to Lester Queralta coming and assessing the damage , and to Vincent and his awesome team for the remediation and ensured things were cleaned up and treated properly, my family and I felt safe knowing things were being done right.

The team did inspect thermal levels in all areas of the basement and brought in everything to get the basement dry.  The best part was them spraying an environmentally friendly mold cleaner which was safe for pets and children.  I did not feel stressed at all.

Thank you @Canada’sRestorationService for helping us be less stressed. You treated my family like family and only wanted the best.

We had contacted CRS to provide a second opinion about concerns with odor/mold in our basement, and garage, after a flood.  The wet non restorable items were stored in our garage and we were concerned that we would have another area to worry about mold. We were unhappy with our current restoration company, and Jorge came to assess our situation.  He provided some insight on questions to ask, and reassurance about what had been done to industry standard.  He appears hands on as a project manager and responsive to questions/concerns.  If we could have chosen our own restoration company, based on Jorge's prompt response to our inquiry and site visit, CRS would have been a great option.

Jorge heard of my friend who was struggling with mental health issues and physical health issues and jumped at the opportunity to help someone in need. Amie and her team came in and spent 2 days cleaning and sanitizing and it is nothing short of a miracle. I couldn’t do it all for her but this amazing company with a super large heart took care of her!!!!! Look at the before and after. If you have a friend or family member that needs help hire this company!!!!

I could not recommend Lester and Jesus enough. They worked with diligence and were very efficient in completing the works required. Lester went above and beyond as a project manager. He communicated with us and give us peace of mind throughout the process. He is organized, transparent and professional. Jesus was an excellent team leader who kept the job site clean. This was especially important given our home’s wood trim and craftsmanship. Their team completed the work without damaging our home’s special features.

We cannot thank them enough and look forward to working with them on future projects!

So I have called these guys up twice. And both times, they have come, checked the situation, and provided some great support and advice.

Neither time have I actually ended up being charged as they were able to verify that there were either DIY jobs or were mold issues that could be remedies from on the shelf supplies.

If we ever do end up having a situation arise that does need their help they have more than earned it.
