Asbestos is a hazardous material that can have severe health implications if not handled correctly. At WINMAR®, we understand the complexities and risks involved in managing asbestos in both residential and commercial properties. With over 45 years of experience, we are proud to be a trusted leader in property restoration across Canada, offering comprehensive asbestos isolation, abatement, and removal services. Whether your property has sustained damage or requires proactive remediation, our trained and certified teams are equipped to address your needs.
What is Asbestos and Why is it Hazardous?
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral fibre once widely used in construction materials due to its durability and resistance to heat. Unfortunately, exposure to asbestos fibres can cause serious health issues, including lung diseases and cancers. Disturbing materials that contain asbestos can release fibres into the air, making professional handling crucial.
Residential Properties and Asbestos Challenges
From single-family homes and cottages to outbuildings, asbestos can be present in many residential properties, especially those built before the 1990s. Common areas where asbestos may be found include:
- Insulation (e.g., vermiculite insulation)
- Floor tiles and adhesives
- Roofing materials
- Pipes and duct insulation
If you suspect asbestos in your home or cottage, do not attempt to remove it yourself. WINMAR® offers professional asbestos removal services tailored to residential properties, ensuring the safety and well-being of your family.
Commercial Properties and Asbestos Risks
Commercial properties, such as hospitals, offices, retail spaces, food service establishments, and healthcare facilities, face unique challenges when dealing with asbestos. These buildings often have larger-scale asbestos concerns that require scalable solutions. Our certified teams work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business while ensuring compliance with all regulations.
WINMAR®’s Comprehensive Asbestos Services
Inspection and Assessment
Our process begins with a thorough inspection to identify asbestos-containing materials and assess the extent of contamination. Using state-of-the-art equipment and certified expertise, we provide accurate assessments to determine the best course of action.
Containment and Isolation
To prevent the spread of asbestos fibres, we establish secure containment zones using advanced techniques. This step is critical for maintaining a safe environment during the abatement process.
Safe Removal and Disposal
Our trained professionals carefully remove asbestos materials following stringent safety protocols. We also ensure proper disposal in compliance with federal and provincial regulations.
Post-Abatement Testing
After completing the removal process, we conduct air quality testing to confirm that your property is free from asbestos fibres. This ensures peace of mind and compliance with safety standards.
